To ask for last min recommendations for a day in newcastle?!!

[Granddayout]

day out tomorrow! Had illness so not had time to research!

going to the baltic and a drink food by water . Want to find cool bars with music in the day time… dknt want spend our limited tome wandering around Random chain shops etc ‘

want really Cool bars buildings!

heeelp … where do we head ?

also we have a vintage lover with us. .. thanks .

We saw a bar many years ago that has sort of pictures of tatoos on the back wall .. cant find it anywhere on google but that sort of thing- interesting modern individual ..
thank you .

Ouseburn for cool bars and cafes and High Bridge in the town centre for vintage

Check out Biscuit Factory for starters. And I only really know real ale pubs so can’t help much. Lots of amassing independent coffee shops etc if you google independent coffee shop Newcastle. Guardian have done an article a few years ago on places to visit - was still quite good but I’d search for it on google not guardian app!

When time do you have to leave? Do you need to eat anywhere? What ages are you?

There's a high chance of hammering down rain and it's about 15 degrees up here so don't plan anything outdoors, bring a good brolly and a raincoat!

Thanks ! Real ale be ace!

Us and two dc in twenties. We love independent bars And cafes and music ! We leave at teatime bit hope to go to frate for qn hour x

Dog and parrot is D’s favourite bar (indie / rock)

Biscuit Factory is a really good shout. Then behind there is Ernest for your lunch. Across New Bridge Street to The Tanners not live music but good vibe. Free Trade Inn is ace, and brilliant free juke box. Brinkburn Brewery great for real ale and on the way to the Free Trade. Then a damp walk all the way along the Quayside to Frate.

Blake's on Grey Street for lunch.

High bridge, right in the city centre has a vintage shop called retro Newcastle (they have a fb page)

This page has a good selection of places:

Also the Grainger Market is lovely for a mooch around. There's a vintage clothes place in there too (the yesterday society) as well as lots of street food offerings (Mac & cheese, bao buns, bagels, pizza, etc)

By the river brew does both food and drink (has its own brewery) and is just on the Gateshead side of the river

For quirky, there's now a cocktail bar in what used to be an underground public toilet on the Bigg Market (I haven't actually been, so can't really recommend) but there is an amazing Greek restaurant right next to it (Kafeneon)

Ouseburn/quayside sound like yout target locations, might be a bit overrun with kids on school holidays though.

Thanks so much all . Will research tomorrow on way .

Ooh ooh! I forgot!

flea circus looks perfect!!! Thanks !

For Flea Circus get a taxi or a number one stagecoach bus from the town to Warwick Street. Ask for the Star and Shadow cinema cos it's bigger and the drivers heard of it and it's in the same building. Then you can walk to the Biscuit Factory etc, and through the Ouseburn Valley back to the Quayside. Have a great day!

Beehive in the Bigg market.

Just kidding, but it is good if you enjoy MMA.

As said, Ouse Burn "scene", Pitcher and Piano after that.

Get the metro to Tynemouth. It's lovely. Beach, fish and chips.

Is flea circus near biscuit factort please

The bar with tattoos on the back wall sounds like Floritas - it has closed down now and opened as something else, which is probably why you can’t find it online.
have a fab time!

Yes 5 minute walk from Biscuit Factory to Flea Circus

Best real ale pubs in Ouseburn are The Cumberland and Free Trade. Latter has fantastic views down the Tyne. Kiln in Ouseburn is wonderful for eating
