Could anyone give me any pointers on good places to go in newcastly. Its my mates stag do this saturday and there is bout 17 of us going. Iv been to newcastle a good few times but not for a couple of years now.

Any info is much appreciated

Loads of good places if you want to get glassed or stabbed round here lol

Nah, anywhere down the Bigg Market is okay for a cheesy nostalgic drunken night out, Quayside is a lot quieter these days due to the Gate (top of the Bigg Market) being the main attraction these days.

I'd split up if I were you though, there's no way you'll all get in together at any of the trendy bars! We have a stupid 'dress code' here too, shoes are a MUST or you'll not get in period. Personally I'd just go to Wetherspoons next to the train station and get tanked up cheap

BUK

ive been down there a few times, i remember the gate being pretty decnet and down at the Quayside was ok as well.

Escos Jam

I remember the dress code from last time and it was a nightmare. Can i wear jeans and stuff tho or has it gotta be dressed trousers and all that pish?

Yeah we have to splip up when goin into glasgow or edinburgh as nowhere lets big groups in. Got turned down the other week and there was only 4 of us.

Anyway where bout is all the trendy bits. Iv done all the cheesy stuff before. would be good to go somewhere iv no been before.

I heard Danielle said your not allowed to go and its nothin to do with your work.

rapidcossie

Escos Jam

rapidcossie

Usually you have to wear trousers and shit, it's crap.

When I lived in Glasgow I loved it the way you could go out in trainers and jeans and generally got in anywhere

no trainers !!

it s alot more relaxed down there now

Cowboi

where abouts are u staying?

whitley bay is always a laugh for a night out in a big group.

but u can definately start and end a night in the gate if u wanted to.
you aint got to walk far to find a place to go really.

newcastle is crap now imo, sunderland is a much better night out

Mr Brannen

I like Sam Jack's and Tiger Tiger


I would go to Quayside, Theres some bars (i still cant remember the street name!!) From train station downwards, Revolutions, Apartments, The Lodge, Attic, then right at bottom Bar 55

jumpin jack crash

i got a stag do up there in june so am watchin this post for info for me and the lads...

LeviA

Revoloution wouldn't let me in, the Apartment is shite, smug dump selling over priced beer to call centre workers who think they're at a fashion show.

I'd stick with the cheaper places

Mr Brannen

Collingwood Street

jumpin jack crash

well the blokes im heading up there with are mostly pretty boys and ponses so i guess we'll end up in there

LeviA

Oohhh plenty of poncey pretty boys in places like the Aparment and 'Nice' bar pmsl... fuckin Nice bar who the fuck calls a place that?!?!!? Either way your pals will fit right in if they have a tan, Beckham cut, stupid ear-ring, clothes that are two sizes too small etc..

dave120

is there anyone on here that goes out in newcatsle most weekends?

we dont really fancy going to places liks wetherspoons as when u have been in one u have been in them all, cheap drink doesnt really make up for a crap atmosphere!


we aint no posers either, (well apart from Jam!) so we need a list of middle of the road places, trensy but no overstrict door policies etc. and also which clubs are good also??

i find it strange that u have to wear dressy shoes to get into pubs???

cheers folks!

Cossie Helen

Thats the one, i can never remember it


As for the Apartments, i have always found it alright in there

Mr Brannen

I do, here goes


Gate is a good place to start,or if ya going out on Saturday then go to Blue Velvet(Strip Club),£5 per dance on Match Days , then it realy depends on what type of night you want, you wanna go with all the pretty boys and strict dress codes then of to the Quayside you go,Baja Beachclub is just down there to go clubbin as well,expect cheesy music but stunning birds in there.Or Julies 2 where you will most likely see half the newcastle team if theyre not in Sea nightclub,both decent place mind.
The other option is the Big Market , yeah it can get a bit heated but its got the best bars without a shadow of doubt,full of single birds who are just out to get wrecked and pull and generally the best atmosphere
I mean which big town centre doesnt have the odd skirmish FFS
Believe me the Bigg Market and Gate are the main reason Newcastle is the 6th best place in the world to go out on the drink end of.
If you wanna make the most of tomorrow night mate then yeah nip down the quayside for an hour,its only 5 mins away from the Biggy but make it so you spend most of your night in the Bigg Market.
Like Helen said Collingwood St are good but Im bearing in mind that your a group of lads so Bigg Market is the place to be

LeviA

I'm too old and too tired to go round the Bigg Market and stuff these days. A place with a window seat and a jug of beer, paper, packet of tabs (another thing you Scots will like, a nice smoke with your pint lol) and I'm sorted.

cossiegreg1

i would go to quayside mate or the gate,bar 55 is good aswell.
Night clubbing... Digital, is good.

bigg market is full of rough charva's.i mean im not a tight cloth wearing ponce,i cant stand them but i also dont like to be standing in a bar looking over my shoulder.
Quay side or gate for starters then for clubbing digital mate.
p.s there is a liguid night club opened but i dont know what thas like as i havnt been

**Claire**

Here's a list of the bars where I would normally go to.....

The Apartment, At Home, The Attic, The Living Rooms, Hoko 10 (down Dean Street) Bar 38, Chase, The Quilted Camel, Julies then onto Sea.

If you want to start down the quayside you could go to The Pitcher and Piano which is right next to the millenium bridge, then you could go Flynns, then on to the Slug and Lettuce, Bar 38, Chase, etc etc as above.

If you want to start at the other side of the quayside you could go to Lloyds Bar and work your way back the other way, all of the bars are really close to eachother and you can generally see where the crowds are as there will be ques outside.

Other bars down the quayside are, The Red House, Marthas, The Aitkinside, Buffalo's on the other side of the swing bridge, and just opposite that is Bajas.

I haven't been clubbing for ages but I prefer somewhere like Sea

**Claire**

Just remembered I've been to Digital too and that was good

steventoon

Have to agree with Claire. Everytime I go home they are the bars I tend to go to. Round the Central Station is pretty good and it means at the end of the night your not too far away from some decent takeaways in the Bigg Market.

Looking forward to going up in a few weeks.

Mr Brannen

Yeah theyre good bars, but its a group of lads dont forget come on you know where they`ll wanna go
