PAST & FUTURE
At BAR.CODE, we are a team of former employees of The Pod Newport, a cherished establishment that unfortunately had to close its doors. The Pod held a special place in our hearts, and we are determined to carry on its legacy. As we work tirelessly to resurrect BAR.CODE, we are forging new partnerships with suppliers to bring fresh and exciting products to our shelves to create a unique experience.
Additionally, we are planning to redecorate as we go along and adjust our prices to ensure a more accessible experience for all.
Our vision for BAR.CODE is to provide our BAR.CODE SPIRITS where you can uncover the mysteries of flavour through our unique selection of vodkas, gins, rums, and tequilas. These spirits, exclusive to our bar, await discovery by your adventurous palates seeking new experiences as well as mouth-watering cocktails and a naughty and delicious street food menu.
As we strive to unlock the CODE behind BAR.CODE, we invite you to join us on this journey by visiting us, following our progress, and showing your support. We are excited to announce that we will be able to soft launch opening in April, with further enhancements and a grand opening planned for May.
Whether you're planning a bespoke party, corporate event, wedding reception, or a cosy date night, BAR.CODE is here to cater to your needs, big or small.
Thank you for your support, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming you to BAR.CODE soon.

THE GREEN WAY AT BAR.CODE
At BAR.CODE Newport, we believe that sustainability and great dining experiences can go hand in hand. Our commitment to reducing plastic waste is an integral part of our mission to create a greener, more environmentally responsible bar/restaurant. We understand the importance of protecting our planet for future generations and are dedicated to implementing eco-friendly practices throughout our establishment.
Recycling is a cornerstone of our waste management strategy. We have implemented comprehensive recycling programs for paper, glass, and metal, ensuring that these materials are diverted from landfills. Our team is trained to sort and recycle waste effectively, making sustainability a part of our daily routine.
One of our primary goals is to eliminate single-use plastics from our operations. We have made significant strides in this area by replacing plastic straws, cutlery, and takeaway containers with sustainable alternatives. Our biodegradable and compostable products ensure that even when disposable items are necessary, they have a minimal impact on the environment.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement. We regularly review our practices and seek out new technologies and methods to further reduce our environmental impact. Our goal is to set a benchmark for sustainability in the hospitality industry and inspire others to follow suit.
At BAR.CODE Newport, we are proud of the steps we have taken to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainability. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener future. Together, we can make a difference, one meal at a time.
Thank you for supporting our commitment to a sustainable and eco-friendly dining experience.
