    Silo

    Laughter refracts from the red-and-silver wallpaper and ricochets off the glass chandeliers. Silo specialises in local produce and sports a tremendous selection of beers, cocktails, liqueurs and spirits in general. A DJ spins up a storm Friday and Saturday night (from 9.30pm) and on lazy Sunday afternoons.

    Delaney

    Something of a Newcastle institution, the ‘Del’ is grotty and grimy but it does guarantee a cracking night out. Friendly staff, friendly punters and excellent live music make this pub a hard act to follow.

    Queens Wharf Brewery

    If the beaches are empty then check the Brewery, one of Newcastle’s most popular pubs with over 40 craft beers. Sunday afternoons drift into evening with live music on the wharf.

    Customs House Hotel

    The shaded courtyard is a great spot for an afternoon bevvy; inside the bar is all polished floorboards, low-lying banquettes and dressed-up Novocastrians strutting their stuff.

    Cambridge Hotel

    Block out the spewy scent saturating the carpet – by midnight you won’t even notice. It’s renowned for secret gigs where big acts will rock up to do an unadvertised show.

    Fannys

    See boys and gals out on the razzle-dazzle wearing their shortest skirts and strongest aftershave. A strict dress code applies (yes, really!).
