Bars in Newcastle
Cocktail bars, wine bars, and the best places to drink
Lane7 Newcastle
A bowling, games and cocktail bar near St James' Park, with a second site at The Gate.

Lola Jeans Newcastle
A chandeliered cocktail bar and kitchen near Monument with late opening and award winning burgers.

Mean Eyed Cat
Newcastle's favourite dive bar, tucked away near the Bigg Market. Cheap drinks, good music, and the kind of sticky-floored charm that the city centre needs more of. Open late and always a laugh.

Bealim House
A big, handsome bar near St James' Park with an impressive craft beer range and a gin selection that runs into the hundreds. The food is better than it needs to be, and matchday here is an experience.

Revolution Newcastle
Vodka-led cocktails on Collingwood Street with a buzzy weekend atmosphere. The flavoured vodka menu is extensive, the booth seating is good for groups, and it is a reliable start to a night out in town.
The Alchemist
Theatrical cocktails on one of England's finest streets. The drinks smoke, change colour, and bubble, and the Grey Street setting gives the whole experience a touch of grandeur. Perfect for celebrations.

Ernest
A sleek cocktail bar tucked behind St Nicholas' Cathedral. The drinks are expertly crafted, the small plates are well thought out, and the atmosphere is sophisticated without trying too hard.

The Botanist
The Newcastle branch of the botanical-themed bar chain occupies a beautiful space in Monument Mall. The hanging kebabs, extensive gin menu, and live music create an atmosphere that's always buzzing.

The Central
A classic Geordie boozer on Half Moon Lane that has been pouring pints for generations. No frills, good prices, and the kind of atmosphere that reminds you why Newcastle's pub culture is the best in England.
