Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Over the past year there seems to have been a whole load of new bars rear their heads in the city, mainly of the Craft beer or Cocktail bar variety. I read that Lola Jeans of Tynemouth are opening on market street soon. What are your views on city centre drinking these days and will any of the influx of new bars have any longevity?

Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Getting expensive, I know that much. Some of the newer places are alreet: DATBar is canny enough but not tried a lot of them yet because the cocktail places seem to especially attract a ton of arseholes trying to tap up lasses. Newcastle nightlife is definitely something that's still good to people outside the area but when you've been to a lot of the places more than once, the novelty wears right off. Those craft places like Brew Dog will definitely live on though since there's always plenty of pretentious arseholes who'll refuse to drink lager That Lola Jeans is going to be where The Godfather was btw.

Jill 0 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 There should be more pubs that are the level of the Black Garter and less arty farty bars. Or at least until I've been paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44789 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Bridge Tavern is good. I'm never out in town and couldn't tell you the name of 10 percent of the bars there though, so what do I know? More than the silly cunts that go drinking in them, that's what.

Gemmill 44789 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Aye, brew their own stuff and it's pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Yeah, I got messy drunk in there a couple of years ago and bumped into llambias a bit later on and could barely speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1244 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah, I got messy drunk in there a couple of years ago and bumped into llambias a bit later on and could barely speak.Didn't it only get done up about a year ago? Used to be Fever. It is pretty good either way. I see Offshore's been done out and looks similar to the Bridge. And Popolo's supposed to be moving into what used to be Jimmyz. It would be nice if they made the Quayside worth going to again. Of course most of the time when I'm out in the town these days it's after the match so we usually end up in the likes of the Five Swans and Sgt Peppers!

Gemmill 44789 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sgt Pepper's?! You fucking tramp! Baja Beach Club is having a reunion party in early 2015 apparently. Which I assume involves reopening it. There's a FB page about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13856 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Sgt Peppers is great value. Where else do you get £2.50 Black Russians and the very best of the 1970s, in both music and decor? Nowhere, that's where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35056 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Used to go to 'Peppers' post-match back in the 90s for a bit and, to be honest, I'm still not sure why. Unless frottage with a 'Kronenbourg' is your cup of char, I don't see the attraction. I was always bemused by the name along with the pictures of The Beatles, Hendrix, The Stones, etc. when all the music was along the lines of Mud's Tiger Feet. Also, there were always loads of posters advertising drinks offers that were never on when you were there. "Half-Price Cocktails 5-7 on Wednesday's" (sic). That type of thing. Quite glad it's still going though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
