For ten years, our handcrafted cocktail bar has been a cosy, candlelit hideaway, shaped by care, craft, and conversation.

Whether you’re winding down after a busy day, celebrating with friends, or simply taking time for yourself, our little bar on Bedford Street offers a calm and welcoming escape in the heart of Middlesbrough.

Welcome

A Decade of Conversation

There's no need to book a table, we can usually always accomodate walk-ins for tables upto 6 guests
At The Nuthatch, we take our drinks seriously. Our menu features over 50 handcrafted cocktails, from modern twists on the classics to original creations you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re here for bold flavours, something light and refreshing, or the unexpected, there’s plenty to explore.

Since opening in 2016, we’ve become one of the North East’s most recognised cocktail destinations, built on consistency, creativity, and a genuine love for what we do.

Alongside the cocktails, you’ll find a well curated back bar of spirits from around the world, and a small wine list chosen to complement both our drinks and our food.
