The Uncommon
The Uncommon is a bar and restaurant built around flavour, music, and atmosphere. Expect seasonal small plates, proper cocktails, and a space that shifts from relaxed daytime drinks into late-night energy.
From the flatbreads to the sauces, everything is made from scratch, giving you only the very best in flavours.
The Uncommon serves a huge range of classic cocktails, alongside our own UC twists. As Living North said, we serve one of the North East’s best spicy margaritas, or as we call it, The Heata.
From daytime drinks and food to late night dancing, The Uncommon is built for full day vibes.
