While Lola Jeans may not be the first place that springs to mind for hidden gems in Newcastle, this bar just so happens to be hiding a charming speakeasy in its basement. It's designed with intimate date nights or exclusive private bashes in mind; think darkened interiors, spirits lining the walls and a menu of tasty tipples.
For secret spots, look no further than Prohibition Cabaret Bar in Newcastle, a speakeasy-style destination on Pink Lane. Welcoming some of the North East's top performers every night of the week, this quirky venue is known for its unforgettable jazz performances, hilarious drag shows and jaw-dropping cabaret.
If you're after quirky bars in Newcastle that are hard to find, then All Seeing Eye fits the bill. From the art deco interiors to the backstreet entrance, stain glass windows and a Jesus statue watching from up high, this totally unique venue is worth a visit.
While drinks in an abandoned toilet isn't always how you imagined your swish night out going, we can assure you that WC Newcastle has been fully converted. Whipping up a range of bespoke cocktails, alongside offering a huge wine list, the underground bar is tucked away beneath a glass dome in the city centre.
