Newcastle is a city that is famed for its nightlife, with its bright lights beckoning both locals and visitors every weekend, and most week nights too for that matter!
Over the years there have been plenty of bars that have stood out from the crowd due to their decor or location. Don't think we'll ever forget the sight of The Boat on the River Tyne, the shark head outside of Baja Beach Club, the massive two storey beast that was Sam Jacks and the Bigg Market's many party bars, old friends like The Pig and Whistle and Yell to ones still going strong like Popworld and Flares.
But, away from the garish entrances or thumping music of the party hot spots, the city has always been home to some nightlife hidden gems, which, once you found them, soon became part of your route for every night out after.
