Nightlife in Newcastle
Newcastle's nightlife is legendary. Much of the fun is centred around pubs and their diverse range of beers in both the city centre and Quayside. The Quayside is the hub of glamorous clubbing venues, as is the Bigg Market area of the city centre. For top musical entertainment, the spectacular Sage, across the river on Gateshead Quay is a must, with a programme of modern and classical music.

Traditional Geordie pub
Set close to Chinatown, The Newcastle Arms has a dark wood-panelled interior.
The frequently changing array of beers on offer includes Rooster's Oyster
Stout and Brew Dog's Physics. Populated with genuine locals, Geordie banter
fills the air.
