The North East was hard hit in the past with closure of the mines and the end of the shipbuilding business – but just like true grit northerners that they are, Newcastle has risen like a phoenix from the fire and is now one of the top places to visit for everything cultural and down right good fun for stag groups! So good, in fact, that the Rough Guide named it top spot for arts and nightlife. From a night out on Grey Street or a trip along the many bars on Osbourne Road, we will give you our best Newcastle stag activity ideas.
So for a classy venue for drinks at the start of the night try Revolution on Collingwood Street near the Station. A luxury conversion of a former bank with 30 foot high ornate ceilings and original artwork, it’s certainly a memorable venue for your stag night Newcastle. With food served all day, DJ’s mixing it up with hip hop and house 7 days a week, over 90 different vodkas to choose from and booths that you can pre-book we reckon you may never want to leave!
Before you hit the clubs and pubs big style we reckon you should line your stomach first! Newcastle has some of the most varied eating establishments in the North and everyone’s tastes are well catered for. Vegetarians will be well pleased with The Sky Apple, Heaton Road. It’s an easy-going establishment with a BYO (Bring Your Own) policy and a nominal corkage fee. Great news if you want to bring your own beers with you!
Although we have only listed one vegetarian restaurant it is fair to say that all the restaurants mentioned serve vegetarian options so you won’t go starving on your Newcastle stag party.
For Italian food lovers try Secco Ristorante, Pilgrim Street. Run by 3 sibling Italians it celebrates the fusion of local fare with classic Italian staple food and received the Hardens Remy Award. Pretty good when you consider that it is one of only ten to win the award in the UK. Another trio of great choices for fabulous Italian food include Topolino, Insieme and Gusto Italian
For a lively, welcoming environment you can’t go wrong with Chilli Padi, Leazes Park Road. Don’t be put off by the name as its not all chilli, they do other fabulous Malaysian and Pan-Asian curries and noodles.
Then, of course, there is always Chinatown. The Arch on Brunswick is a long running restaurant with old-school decor and a menu of Chinese dishes, close to Newcastle United’s home ground. You may struggle to choose a venue here as there are so many – we recommend Hanahana and Fujiyama both serving Japanese food. The chefs put on crowd-pleasing display ay teppanyaki stations of traditional Japanese cooking so you are entertained while you eat.
Further oriental delights in Chinatown include King Neptune, which has appeared in the Egon Ronay Guides and also operates a BYO policy and specialises in Peking style seafood. Other Chinese restaurants include Landmark Oriental, which fits the bill with both a la carte and buffet menus.

Stottie Cakes (pronounced “sto’y keeak”) or just plain stotty are a flat round bread fabulous split in half and filled with ham and pease pudding. What’s that I hear you scream!!! Pease pudding. It’s made from split peas and has a hummus like texture and a mild flavour. It dates back to times when meat was scarce and the pease pudding filled you up. It may sound disgusting but it tastes great.
It goes with out saying that, as Newcastle is so compact, everywhere is within staggering distance and as a group of stags you are going to have to make sure you dress reasonably smartly – no trainers or sportswear and you should get in to most bars and clubs. All clubs and pubs have happy hour and drink promotions so your only problem will be pacing yourself so you and the boys can actually remember your stag nights in Newcastle!
