Planning permission has been granted but there are concerns about giving an alcohol license to the pop-up bar
Hadrian's Tipi has been granted planning permission to set up on the site of the old Odeon on Pilgrim Street, but they still have one hurdle to get past.
Although Newcastle City Council's planning department have given the go ahead for the two tipi tents, the licensing committee will decide next week if they can sell achohol from the site.
A nearby business owner has called on the committee to refuse the license, claiming the city centre is already "like the Wild West" on a weekend.
And both Northumbria Police and the council have raised concerns about the planned temporary bar.
Last winter the pop-up festive bar set up outside Central Station and did a roaring trade selling mulled wine, beer and hot dogs to revellers.
The latest plans for a bigger and better Tipi with 10 timber huts selling street food, a Santa's grotto, long Bier Keller-style tables and warming fire pits to be in place anytime from now until January 7 2018 were approved this week.
However Northumbria Police have objected to the licensing application and said the double-sized Hadrian's Tipi will bring noise, disorder and anti-social behaviour to the area.
In a letter to the authority Chief Inspector David Pickett said: "The area becomes extremely busy especially at weekends and suffers from noise and disturbance as well as a high number of alcohol related crime and disorder and anti-social behaviour incidents.
"To agree to licensable activity as requested would cause increased levels of noise, disorder and anti-social behaviour causing a negative impact on the area."
A company which owns the lease of several key buildings in the city centre, including Earl Grey House, has also complained that if the license is granted, anti-social behaviour will increase.
The director of Endless Stretch Ltd said in a letter to the council: "Newcastle is awash with pubs and the problems that emanate from its licensed premises.
"The streets of Newcastle are like the Wild West on a weekend evening. Vomit adn urination a common feature as is violence and general mayhem. There are no public toilets in Newcastle and the streets are a river of urine, discarded kebabs and regurgitated burgers."
Danieli Holdings, the company behind Hadrian's Tipi back, had hoped to bring the tent back the central station area this summer, with an enchanted garden attraction.
Those plans were knocked back, however, when lincensing officials blocked the Newcastle leisure firm's bid for it to be set up again, deeming it to be not in-keeping with the neighbouring Grade-I listed station and "an incongrous feature, harmful to the setting of Newcastle Central Station (a grade I listed building) and the character of the central conservation area."
Orgnisers claim that the expanded Hadrians's Tipi at the old Odeon site could create around 80 full-time and part-time jobs across the bars, kitchens and security.
The Pilgrim Street site, where the 1930s cinema once stood, is currently rubble after the iconic art deco Odeon was demolished earlier this year.
