Newcastle Hookup Spots

Newcastle is more than just a picturesque northern city where everyone has a funny accent. Yes, this city is fantastic to stroll through, for the great views and bridges. However, the nightlife scene is just as great to explore.

History Of Newcastle Hookup Spots

Newcastle was founded as a traveling and fishing city in the 13th century. The river that it is built across was rich in resources at the time, so the city quickly built up around it. With people flocking to the city for jobs and fortune, many bars and pubs began to open. The bar scene has been growing ever since then!

Best Times And Days To Go Out In Newcastle

Like other UK cities, the best nights to hit up the bar or club in Newcastle are Fridays and Saturdays. Wednesdays and Thursdays are starting to get more popular in the city, though! Regardless, you'll find a traditional bar or pub open pretty much every day of the week. It is the UK, after all!
