i lived in newcastle for ages, the mal maison is the bees nees but very expensive... but were all elite poker players so that shouldnt be an issue really
there are a few decent ones on osbourne road and lots of students and amazing drinking spots!!! there are a load at kingston park one of which is called the formula one which also comes with complimentary prostitues
lots of fun to be had by all in newcastle hope you have a good trip
