Axis is a small neighbourhood bar and bottleshop located next to the high-level bridge in Gateshead railway quarter. You'll find Axis serving an amazing selection of beers from sustainable breweries and environmentally friendly natural wines.Inspired by owners Alice and Alex's experience of working in hospitality in the Southern Hemisphere, Axis is Cosy and warm with a welcoming atmosphere. Whether that be for meeting a friend for a quiet drink, heading to one of their tasting events, or starting a night out before heading over the high-level bridge in to Newcastle. We think Axis is somewhat of a hidden Gem and is undoubtedly one of our favourite spots in the area.Check out Axis's social media pages or website to see what tasting events they have coming up.
Good Sustainability
Sustainability Profile
Axis takes a structured approach to sustainability through responsible sourcing, waste reduction, energy efficiency, and community-focused initiatives. Operating an all-electric venue, the business focuses on independent, small-scale beverage producers, including craft breweries with verified sustainability practices and natural wineries practicing organic viticulture. Sourcing directly from makers reduces intermediary transport miles, supported by consolidated pallet ordering and couriers using electric vehicles. In-venue operations prioritise resource conservation: all recyclable glass, aluminium, and cardboard are diverted from landfill, reusable cleaning textiles are laundered in cold cycles, and appliances are powered down nightly. As an owner-operated establishment, Axis maintains an inclusive, safe environment enforced by a clear zero-tolerance discrimination policy, keeps transparent utility records, and supports the wider community through creative event promotion and annual charitable donations.
