The Rough Guide to Britain placed Newcastle upon Tyne’s nightlife as Great Britain’s no. 1 tourist attraction. In the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Destination Awards for Nightlife destinations, Newcastle was awarded third place in Europe (behind London and Berlin) and seventh place in the world.
There are many bars on the Bigg Market and its adjoining streets. Other areas popular for nightlife include Collingwood Street (commonly referred to as the ‘Diamond Strip’ due to its concentration of high-end bars). Neville Street, the Central Station area, Osborne Road in Jesmond and the wider Ouseburn area are home to a variety of younger metropolitan bars.
“The Gate”, located on Newgate Street, has become a popular venue for late-night entertainment in the past decade and a half. Newcastle’s ‘pink triangle’ is concentrated on Times Square, surrounded by the Centre for Life.
