Dazzle on the 'Diamond Strip'

Welcome to the Diamond Strip, Newcastle's glitzy playground that even the Geordie Shore crew calls home. This trendsetting enclave is like the VIP section of the city, where the ritziest bars stand shoulder to shoulder, just a skip away from Central Station. 

If you take a glittering gander along the Diamond Strip, step into Tup Tup Palace: not just a club but a former stomping ground for the likes of Drake and Ed Sheeran. Step inside to discover indoor waterfalls, mosaic lamps, and a vibe that can handle up to 700 party animals. 

And if you're feeling extra fancy, snag a private booth – because why dance in the crowd on a night out in Newcastle, when you can rule your own sparkly kingdom on the Diamond Strip?

Take a walk on the Quayside

As night falls, the River Tyne's banks transform into Newcastle's poshest playground. Upmarket bars and clubs set the stage for after-dark adventures. This historical hub not only serves up unforgettable views of the river and its iconic bridges but also delivers a nightlife experience that's as charming as it is chic.

For a perfect view of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, head on down to Pitcher & Piano along the Tyne. This swanky spot not only sports outdoor seating but also boasts a menu of mouth-watering, home-cooked delights to accompany your drinks – after all, who says posh can't be delicious?

And on the horizon? "The Giants on the Waterside" development, featuring the colossal "Whey Aye" wheel, is set to dwarf even the London Eye. Keep your eyes open if you want to take it for a spin after dark.

Big it up at Bigg Market

Step into the vibrant heart of Newcastle's nightlife – the Bigg Market, where the city's party spirit shines bright like a huge disco ball. This buzzing area has cemented Newcastle's reputation among the UK's top-notch nocturnal playgrounds.

While it takes a midweek siesta, come Friday the Bigg Market transforms into a weekend fiesta, drawing in hordes of young party enthusiasts. Bars overflow with lively crowds faster than you can say "Bottoms up!" 

Amid the revelry, historic charm meets modern fun in some of the city's oldest buildings, offering a tipple-only journey or a feast for your taste buds.

For a taste of the old school, swing by the Old George Inn – a pub with more history than a bag of dates. Counting none other than King Charles I among its patrons it's not just a pub; it's a time-travelling, wining and dining hotspot. 

Don't forget to check out their 2-for-1 cocktail offer – because in the Bigg Market, the fun doesn't just spill onto the streets but in your glass too!

Gallivant to Grey Street

Welcome to Grey Street, where every cobblestone whispers tales of craft ales and wine bar wonders! This district, sprinkled with streets leading to the Bigg Market, is your ultimate stop for an evening tipple. Adorned with Georgian grandeur, it's not just a night out; it's a chance to wow colleagues or impress the in-laws with its architectural splendour. Take Dacantus – a bar with a wine cellar grand enough to make Napoleon blush and a gin collection that could inspire poetry. Fancy a bite? Their Mediterranean menu lists a feast fit for royalty.

Post-chow, enjoy a dramatic encore at Newcastle's Theatre Royal. If the stage isn't your thing, swing by The Gate to enjoy a film at the multiplex cinema or have a flutter in the casino.

When it comes to group accommodation Newcastle doesn't disappoint. Once you've finished partying, your dream pad awaits at Kabannas Newcastle, a mere 5-minutes from Grey's Quarter. We have suites that can host up to 14 pals, boasting not one but two bathrooms and a lounge area featuring a Smart TV.
