Newcastle Quayside's

BUILD YOUR newcastle STAG

After undergoing major transformation over the years, Newcastle Quayside is now the city’s epicentre for music, culture and art.

This glorious metropolis, on the banks of the River Tyne, is home to some of Newcastle’s swankiest bars and clubs, from the uber-exclusive Sky bar to the relaxed Pitcher and Piano to the Tudor-esque Red House. After dark, the Quayside is the place to be, with the city’s bright, young things descending on the bars as the Millennium Bridge illuminates the night sky.

Let's get started.

1. Pitcher & Piano Newcastle

Set on the bank of the Tyne, the Pitcher and Piano has a seriously laid-back and chilled atmosphere to it.


As views go, the glass-fronted P&P is unrivalled – overlooking the award-winning Millennium Bridge, the iconic Baltic and the contemporary Sage – and, during the summer, this place really comes into its own. The bar spills out onto the street and visitors step out into the sun to relax with a cool beverage and enjoy the gorgeous views. The menu also extends to its achingly hip vibe, serving everything from real ales to craft beers to delicious cocktail concoctions.

If you’re coming to Newcastle, you have to visit the Slug and Lettuce.


The bar / restaurant is located right on the Quayside, just seconds away from the world-famous Tyne Bridge (us Geordies are very proud of our bridges). The Quayside has a real buzzing vibe, day and night, and this is the place to get stuck right into Newcastle’s legendary nightlife. The Slug and Lettuce has a fantastic reputation in the city and, every weekend without fail, it’s packed to the rafters with people looking for a good time.

Discreetly tucked away behind the Quayside, Red House is a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of Newcastle city centre.


Set in a grand, Grade ll listed building, this place is cosy, friendly and relaxed – with a labyrinth of small drinking areas, dark wood furniture, exposed brickwork and warm lighting. The bar serves a wide selection of well-known and classic beers and ales, as well as limited edition and one-off brews, but the pies are the real stars of the show. The locally-sourced pies are handmade by the award-winning, Amble Butchers, and served alongside your choice of mash, peas and liquor.

This place is super luxurious.


The Sky Lounge so exclusive that it's only open for functions and celebrations, however, this bar does open up to us ordinary folk on extra special dates. The bar sits on top of The Vermont Hotel, 200ft above the heart of the city, boasting breathtaking panoramic views of the city. A hidden gem in the midst of the bustling city, this rooftop bar transports you to the chic streets of Miami, with the gentle breeze in your hair and the sun beating down as you delicately sip your Mojito Del Sol. As night falls, the bar truly comes alive as the delicate lights twinkle under the stars and the sheer exuberance of the city encapsulates you from below.
