There are a host of fantastic bars, pubs and clubs for your Newcastle stag within a spitting distance of Grey street, ranging from Bavarian beerhouses to classier establishments where you can take in gin or whiskey tasting. If anything, the main issue you’ll have is trying to choose between them! Even a stag with the strongest stomach couldn’t hope to get through them all. To help you with that all important choice, here are some of our favourite pubs & bars for a Newcastle stag do:

Point Blank Shooting

Tasty cocktails, fresh pizza and shooting games. Is there any bar that screams Newcastle stag do better than Point Black Shooting? With more than 200 shooting scenarios to choose from and a trigger happy hour every day of the week, this is a bar that’s sure to delight the entire stag party. 

Waiting Rooms

There’s nothing more British than starting out the night with a trip to the pub, why should your Newcastle stag do be any different? With a great range of draft ales & beers to choose from and delicious Pieminster pies to nosh on, this is a perfect place to have your stag guests meet one another before moving on to a higher-energy venue.

The Alchemist

The Alchemist in Newcastle is widely known throughout the city as one of the top bar venues. They take their cocktails to such an extreme that it’s practically art, not that this means their alcohol content is diminished in the slightest. To add a bit of spectacle to your Newcastle stag do, this bar is a great choice.

Corralling all of your guests for the evening meal on your Newcastle stag can be a painful process. Everyone is going to have their own idea of what’s good grub, and half of them are likely to want to skip it entirely and head straight back to drinking. The best way to avoid these headaches is by planning in advance and making the evening meal a highlight rather than a pit stop. Here are some of our favourite places to get a bit to eat on a Newcastle stag do:

Rio Brazilian Steakhouse

Based down by the quayside, the Rio Brazilian Steakhouse is a restaurant that’s sure to be a winner for your Newcastle stag. Your evening meal will start with a trip to the salad bar, featuring a range of tasty salads, as well as imported cheeses, cured meats, and authentic Brazilian dishes. But that’s just the start! Return to your table and flip your card to the green bull and the real fun begins. Chefs will flock to your table and serve heaping portions of churrasco meat carved tableside, and they’ll keep going until you tell them to stop by flipping the card back to red.

Malcalzone

If you want the evening meal to really be about the food, then Malcalzone is a fantastic choice. It’s a small venue, so we recommend booking ahead, but here you’ll find an incredible selection of food inspired by the Italian islands. If your stag is the type to enjoy a sophisticated meal with good food and good wine, this is our top pick. 

Blackfriars Restaurant & Parlour Bar

For a truly unique experience, the Blackfriars Restaurant & Parlour Bar is a brilliant pick for your Newcastle stag do. With origins dating all the way back to 1239 and claims of being the oldest dining hall in the UK, Blackfriars serves delicious food from local farms & producers with modern finesse. The real excitement, however, comes from taking in the medieval banquet hall experience for groups of 12-50.  Here you’ll wine and dine like a feudal lord; what better way to give your stag a great night than by having him play king? If your group isn’t all that hungry, their parlour bar serves some charcuterie boards to go with your drinks. 

We both know this is why you’re hosting your stag do in Newcastle. This city is famous for its nightlife and for good reason. There are a near endless number of fantastic clubs to dance away at until the wee hours, but how could you possibly choose just one or two? Worry not, we’ve got you covered here as well:

Flares

A favourite of students and professionals alike, Flares is a great time any day of the week. This 70s-inspired club plays all of your favourite tunes to get you in the mood for a boogie on the dance floor. Not only that, they’ve got some great deals on drinks to keep you going, and a dancing pole for those guests on your Newcastle stag that are feeling particularly proud of their moves. 

Sinners

If there’s one thing the local population of Newcastle associate with Sinners it’s “trebles”. That’s three shots in a glass of mixer for those unbaptised by this local night out staple. If you’re after a wild night for your stag do in Newcastle, you’d struggle to do better than Sinners.

Digital

Colloquially known as “digi”, this is one of the biggest clubs in Newcastle and is absolutely legendary for its club nights. Partiers from all walks of life will flock here towards the end of the night for hours of great music and busting moves on the dance floor. When it comes to a stag do in Newcastle, it’s not going to be a question of if you head down to Digital, but when.
