Newcastle is one of the most sociable cities in the UK for a big night out, but a cocktail masterclass at your apartment makes for a brilliant pre-evening warm-up. Jesmond and the Quayside are the most popular areas for group accommodation. Our mixologists cover Newcastle, Gateshead and the wider Tyne and Wear area.
Newcastle has one of the most legendary reputations in the UK for a night out, and it absolutely lives up to it. But the city is far more than just the Bigg Market. The Quayside is stunning, with its cluster of iconic bridges over the Tyne and a growing waterside restaurant scene. Jesmond is the most desirable residential area, village-like, tree-lined and with brilliant independent cafés and restaurants on Osborne Road. The Grainger Town area in the city centre has some of the finest early Victorian architecture in the country.
