Bigg Market
Renowned as one of the party districts in Newcastle, the Bigg Market is where many locals – as well as visitors – go to dance the night away. Popworld and Cosy Joe’s offer classic 80s, 90s and noughties classics, and you can hire a karaoke booth or brave singing in front of a floor full of people in the latter.
Revolución de Cuba became an instant hit when it opened in Newcastle, offering authentic Brazilian cocktails and dining options. You can enjoy a relaxed drink and meal here or dance the night away as it gets lively into the early hours of the morning.
Pink Triangle
Newcastle’s designated gay scene welcomes everyone and has an addictive friendly and joyful atmosphere. Bobby’s hosts regular events, from drag queen acts to popular impersonators, and is named after the beloved Bobby Robson.
Switch, Powerhouse and the Pink Rooms each offer a classic clubbing experience and are open until the early hours of the morning; Powerhouse is one of Newcastle’s last venues to shut on a weekend night.
Enjoy a more casual vibe at The Yard or the Blonde Barrel, or hit the elevated stage at Rusty’s and party all night to upbeat pop and dance against a striking background of lit-up palm trees and disco lights.
Grey Street
It should come as no surprise that the best and most beautiful street in the UK is the place for an upmarket night out in Newcastle. Harry’s Bar is perfect for a delectable sit-down evening meal that turns into an all-night party with a designated restaurant and dancefloor in beautiful surroundings.
Work your way through the cocktail menu in Las Iguanas after sampling the sumptuous Latin American cuisine, sip on classy cocktails in equally decadent surroundings at Leila Lily’s, and admire the beautiful interiors and upscale rooftop terrace at Barluga.
