A small bar but a big atmosphere is the dream and ambition that became a reality for Peter Haley and Lee Shore when the two musicians became business partners and first opened the doors of joint venture, The Halt.
This Redcar-based venue has become a big hit with the town’s locals and a must-visit venue for music fans from further afield.
On the outside, it may seem like any other micropub, but once you get through the doors, you will see that this is a place filled with a great atmosphere, fantastic live music and a heart and soul that welcomes you like a much-needed hug.
Given the venues’ ‘micro pub’ status, it may be a shock that they have become a popular place to go for live music. Co-Owner, Lee Shore, added: “The venue was always destined to host live music as we’ve always wanted to showcase the talent found in the local area.”
With musicians as owners, music runs through this venue’s veins and visitors can be assured that they get the very best sound experience. The top quality PA system means that the live music can be felt in your bones and that even when the stage is empty, the indie/90’s Brit-pop background will soundtrack an inviting experience that you will always want to return to.
Co-Owner, Peter Haley, added: “The Halt is most definitely the place to be if you’re looking for a place where you can meet great people, have a good laugh and listen to some great music because, at this venue, even the staff will strike up a conversation with you – especially about music.” He added: “It’s a feel-good and friendly atmosphere where strangers can be your friends within half an hour of walking through the doors.”
The Halt shows no signs of stopping as they are set to keep providing visitors with the things they love, with more great live music nights, a fantastic range of drinks and maybe even one or two surprise announcements on the horizon.
So if you’re looking for a place to go where you can have a good time with great people and you want to check out some of the cracking talent that the area has to offer, this is definitely the place to be.
