As the party capital of the UK and probably one of the best in the world, you are never far from a pub in Newcastle upon Tyne. With a traditional pub crawl being the most popular method of touring Newcastle by night, the range and number of bars in the city are well adapted to cater for lovers of a good night out.
Traditional ale houses sit comfortably with Japanese and Irish themed bars, student haunts and fashionable café styles to provide a discerning clientele everything they could hope for in their leisure drinking time. Food is served in many of the bars and pubs whether its for good home cooking, a pie and a pint, or oysters and champagne and you’re sure to find the one that’s right for you.
The classic Newcastle hospitality means that even the most fashionable bars are not pretentious, typified by Popolo, a bar with an air of an exclusive club, yet the welcoming atmosphere expected of the city. Similarly, Tokyo, a bar impeccably designed over three levels, provides a relaxed and friendly modern ambience and is the place to try out a cocktail or two from their extensive menu.
For those looking for a more traditional style of watering hole, the Bridge Hotel has the wood panelled warmth of an alehouse, serving a selection of permanent and guest beers with the added attraction of a balcony overlooking the Tyne and also a function suite with gigs, theatre and poetry dominating the nightly schedules.
The Free Trade Inn has a similar and traditional warm welcome for visiting custom and has great riverside views and a beer garden for that summer’s day celebration. Spending time in Newcastle, you will be spoiled for choice in the pubs and bars of the city. Make your pub decision a little easier by selecting from our list of Newcastle pubs presented here.
