NQ64 Newcastle

Taking Bookings

Open until 2am most nights, you'll never be strapped for things to do at NQ64 Newcastle. The retro arcade bar is home to over 31 activities to get stuck into from Guitar Hero to Time Crisis. You'll find plenty of nostalgia in this neon-splattered den, as well as themed cocktails that look very good on the ol' Instagram. Our favourites? Metropolis, made with gin and Aperol, and the Power Star Martini, served short and fruity. 

The Holy Hobo

Taking Bookings

Cosy bar by day and dancefloor by night, The Holy Hobo is perfect for some cocktail-fuelled fun, featuring football tables where you can battle your friends, quiz nights every Wednesday and a free to use 'karaoke kave'. Plus with resident DJs, this lively Jesmond venue makes for a great night out. 

The Head of Steam Quayside

Taking Bookings

Check out The Head of Steam Quayside for a huge selection of craft beers and views of the river. Located by the famous Tyne bridge, this cool pub offers all sorts of activity options too, like shuffleboard, foosball and pool tables - perfect if you're after gaming bars in Newcastle for adults.

Hancock

Taking Bookings

Right on the cusp between Jesmond and the city centre, the Hancock is a great shout for live sport, pool and a great meal. There are screens dotted about the venue for all the big games, which you can view while enjoying a refreshing pint or classic cocktail.
