Newcastle

Whats it like for night life, wheres the best places to go, avoid ect ect</p>

Any recommendations as to where to stop for night ect ect?</p>

 

Depends what you're looking for... give us some clues and I'll draw up an itinerary!!!

 

hmmm, mainly a area which has rock bar's or clubs like walkabout...</p>

I'll pay £40 at most a night for Accommodation</p>

 

Newcastle has a decent rock and indie scene. Have never been to Walkabout so I can't compare to that.

Town centre is full of bars as is the area of Jesmond. Jesmond has a variety of B& Bs and hotels at a range of prices. It has good transport links with the city centre.

As far as indie/rock nights go I dj on Mondays at Bar38 (quayside), Tuesdays at Revolution (city centre south) and some Saturdays at The Hancock (city centre north) as you'd expect they are all great!

Trent House bar near St James Park is a great pub with a very good jukebox (beer is a bit pricey). Head of Steam and The Forth near Central Station are very nice bars. Trillians Rock Bar near the Library does exactly what it says on the tin and there are two dedicated rock nightclubs as well as a glut of indie nights (for every night of the week).

 

We going in a few weeks mate. We've been advised by some to go to the Quayside on a night, and some to go to the big market or something. Which would you advise? And what are the differences between the two?

 

Quayside over Bigg Market everytime imho.

Smarter and cleaner, more relaxed atmosphere.

 

You can do both, as the Bigg Market runs down to the Quayside

 

Buffalo Joe's, over the river. Smart.

 

Cheers. What about the ladies?

 

Friendly.

 

Friendly heffers(sp?) or fit birds?

 

Even the very fit ones will have a laugh. It has its share of munters, but there seems to be a better attitude up there mainly. Just imho you understand.

 

I cant wait. Cheers Dirk.

 

Where you stopping ? Cos if not city centre then Jesmond is brilliant.

 

Gateshead! Its apparently not far in a taxi. Looked all over for hotels but there were hardly any available.

 

Very nice

Though I am somewhat biased of course ff

 

Quayside is more upmarket than Bigg Market, but then again so's Blackpool... or a skip... in a back alley... with rats... that have herpes.

Bigg Market does not run to the Quayside but there's only 10 mins between the two.

There are loads of places for cheesy nights out - Buffalo Joes being a good example or Blu Bambu (in Bigg Market).

There are lots of bars in the Gate (entertainment complex) too which isn't too far from Bigg Market... has Tiger Tiger, Lloyds etc.

 

Gateshead...

not far at all.

Cheers Barry.

 

RE: Gateshead...

10 minutes in the Metro if I'm not mistaken? Maybe not even that long.
