Outdoor cocktail bar in the Beamish Valley

Hotspot Cocktail Bar


Hotspot Cocktail Bar

The Hotspot Fire Engine Bar is a restored 1960s Bedford TK, transformed into a one-of-a-kind outdoor cocktail bar in the Beamish Valley. It’s the perfect spot for relaxed drinks and Friday live music when the weather allows. If the weather turns, we simply move the music into our main bar.
