tmJak Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm going to ESR next Friday (12th) Anyone else going up that day? Can anyone recommend good restaurants / bars / hotels in Newcastle - I've never been which is a bit embarrasing considering I'm 25! I'm after good food, chilled out bar and somewhere classy to stay - sort of like a ramada or mcdonald type hotel. Could plan in over google but always appreciate a little local knowledge. Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've never been which is a bit embarrasing considering I'm 25! Why? There are lots of places i have not been too in the uk but have seen a large part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to get down with the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmJak Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Just checked it on Google Maps - quite local. Not after a mad night, just wanting posh meal, couple of drinks, retire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 i apologise for my typing yesterday... i was pretty high on meds and slept for like 20 hours.... louis... good food.. service is unbeatable and the decor is very modern cafe 21..food is excellent and service is great... can be very very busy so standards can drop a bit which is a shame... its a Terry leighbourne restraunt though so it should be good.. picallinos... food is great aswell..service is about the best i have ever experienced and i would go there anyday.. generally those 3 restaurants come to about £25-£30 quid a head without much alcohol... another place to consider if your going down osbourne road is francesca's... you cant book...but its packed everynight... the service is pretty good.. food is pretty good...but the atmosphere in their really sets it apart from any other restaurant..usually comes to about £15 quid a head in their... hotels i can suggest are.... hilton on quayside... staff are friendly....rooms are clean and very tidy mal maison quayside... about the best place to stay.. very modern minimalist styling everywhere in the building and the rooms are great... marriot in gosforth.... luxury....enough said really i really cant tell you how much i hate whitley bay..very skanky women but in fairness the drinks are cheaper than newcastle but there's alot less clubs to choose from.. if your in town then i suggest your find a place called revolution...famous for it's racks of shots...think you get about 6 per rack and theres about 200 flavours to choose from...the decor is very modern again but with kinda roman touches to the ceiling and walls.... next door to that is apartments...very nice place to have a few...nice women generally go in their aswell if you ventured that way then rocafella restaurant you could consider aswell... opened by the winner of hells kitchen...terry something or another.. very good on seafood..restaurant is a little bit small... (i think 10 tables max) but the service is fairly good but the atmosphere is very chilled and intimate... hope this helps.... neways.. i think im back off to sleep.... -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Don't forget short sleeves and no jacket are compulsory in Newcastle, even if it's -15 outside and throwing a blizzard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Cheers again Ho - that's the kind of local knowledge I was after. I'm booked into Louis' and the Marriot. Don't think we're making a long night of it, so will prob find a bar near to the restaurant for a few g and t's before retiring. No point in getting a nice hotel if you're gonna spend all night out Where's your takeaway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 its in seaton burn which is a mile out tbh bud... would offer you free scran but tbh i personally would go to louis anyday.... hope u enjoy your stay dude.. ps it is true about short sleeves and no jacket... even if your nipples are cutting your top...generally guys nowadays just wear t-shirts aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
