Where to Go on Your Newcastle Stag Night
Bigg Market
Bigg by name, big by nature! Bigg Market is the thriving hub in the centre of the city with a huge concentration of bars and nightclubs. This is party central, so be sure to bring your A-game or it'll chew you up and spit you out in a heartbeat.
Quayside
Located centrally, down by the Tyne, the Quayside is a great place to head for a more refined drink before. Swanky bars and clubs are the order of the day, and you can get great views of Tyne Bridge.
Diamond Strip
This is where the Geordie Shore and football lot strut their stuff. It's a lot more VIP than the rest of the city, so dress to impress if you're hitting this district.
The Gate
A complex in the centre of the city with eateries, pubs and bars aplenty. A good place to refuel and re-energise before you kickstart a memorable night partying. Situated along from Bigg Market, it's a doddle to find and keeps you right in amongst the action.
Jesmond
Away from the centre, the area of Jesmond has a vibrant nightlife with the streets in and around Osborne Road a hive of activity. If you're staying for more than one night, it's a cool place to spend an evening, but it's slightly more low-key than the city centre.
Top 10 Newcastle Pubs, Bars & Clubs
🍺BrewDog
BrewDog is a solid option for a group of stags. You know the beer is going to be quality, you know the food is going to be up to snuff, and you know the atmosphere is going to be lively from the minute you enter until the time you leave.
Where: 16 Dean St, NE1 1PQ
🍺Lane7
This bouncing bowling alley is seriously good. It's not just bowling, though, this place has ping pong, pool - it even has a batting cage for crying out loud. Oh, not to mention, karaoke, darts, beer pong, arcade games and a load of delicious beer waiting to be sampled.
Where: 80-90 St James' Blvd, NE1 4BN
🍺Four Quarters
Arcade bars are great! Four Quarters is open late (2 am on weekends) and is packed with all the classics like Pacman, Tekken, Time Crisis, Guitar Hero, Asteroids, and many (many) more. You could easily lose a few hours in here, fellas.
Where: 54 Dean St, NE1 1PG
🍺The Holy Hobo
Located in Newcastle's coolest quarter, Jesmond, this cracking bar is a great place for a few afternoon drinks before heading into town. It's got a great little pool table, plus a stag-friendly food and drink menu.
Where: THREE, Jesmond Three Sixty, NE2 1DB
🍺WonderBar
One of the bars in the iconic Gate complex, WonderBar is truly wúnderbar. Expect food, tunes, drinks, darts, dancing, sports - the whole stag party shebang. They also welcome stag and hen with open arms, so you don't need to worry about being turned away at the door.
Where: The Gate, Newgate St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5TG
🍺Manahatta
This cool New York cocktail bar is all about the party. Look out for any 2-4-1 cocktail deals and start your night out in true stag style.
Where: 9, 17 Collingwood St, NE1 1HE
🍺Social Bar
The décor is loud in this lively cocktail bar, so you'll know you've landed in Newcastle when you walk through the doors of this place. Expect DJs, dancing, and a solid drinks menu.
Where: 28-32 Collingwood St, NE1 1JF
🍺The Ware Rooms
Just because you're on a stag do, it shouldn't mean you have to miss out on any live sport. Don't worry, the Ware Rooms will have you covered with their big screens and cheap drinks deals.
Where: 17 Carliol Square, NE1 6UQ
🍺Bohemia
One of Newcastle's' leading bars/clubs. Bohemia is a partying behemoth and is for the most seasoned of party people only.
Where: 20 Collingwood St, NE1 1JF

This boutique nightclub is a little bit different (but a whole lot legendary). These guys love their hip-hop, RnB and Afrobeats, so head here if that's your vibe.
Where: 7 St Nicholas' St, NE1 1RE
The Best Time To Go To Newcastle For A Stag Do
Newcastle is a great city to head to any time of year.
Well, it's not like you're going there for the warm weather, is it?!
More than 80% of stags going there in 2024 went between March and August, with March and July being the most popular months followed closely by June.
How Long Do People Go To Newcastle For A Stag Do?
The majority of stags (60%) went to Newcastle for 3 days (2 nights).
2 nights is the perfect amount for Newcastle as it gives you a couple of nights to explore the nightlife, and a few days to take on some of the awesome activities on offer.
How Soon Do People Book A Newcastle Stag Do?
Stags going to Newcastle in 2024 booked 5 months before they were due to go. The data shows that the booking period is a month longer than it was in 2023.
According to our data, March was the second most popular month to have a Newcastle stag do in 2024.
Therefore, we could attribute the one-month increase to stags wanting to avoid booking their March stag dos around Christmas, and instead planning them in October/November (aka 5 months in advance).
Where to Stay in Newcastle

Things to See in Newcastle
#1 Angel of the North
OK, it's in Gateshead, but there's a good-to-fair chance you'll be driving past it en route, so it's an ideal little stop-off for that big squad selfie.
#2 St James' Park
Unlike a lot of football stadiums, this sporting cathedral is smack bang in the centre of the city, meaning you'll probably just stumble across it as you're walking about.
#3 Millenium & Tyne Bridge
It's not the yawn-fest it sounds. The Millenium Bridge is a tilting structure which resembles a Venus Fly Trap when raised on its hydraulic arm. Bask in the glory of Tyne Bridge Quayside with an ice-cold pint in hand.
#4 Newcastle Castle
Well, of course it has a castle!
#5 Wylam Brewery
Beer connoisseurs will want to check out this awesome brewery housed in the Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park.
