Yeah some good opportunities in Players. Quayside used to be good but it's gone down hil over the last few years. Tends to be just the older people that drink there now (apart from one or two places, like the Quayside bar which isn't bad) The bars in Newcastle beat any where I've been in the UK but the clubs aren't the best. Never been out in Leeds.
Thanks a lot, the Gate looks and sounds ideal for me. Went on that pub newcastle website and the bars seem pretty decent and the easy women is always good just hope they're not rotten looking or walrusses. Is The Gate near central station then because there's quite a few nice looking places around there too? I'm planning all this like a pro but you know when I get there I'll go to some cheap pub have a few and just wonder around the place like a dick just going in anywhere and eventually falling asleep on a park bench. Which reminds me to ask, where is the gate distance wise from whitely bay? And do you reckon I should pre book a taxi because where I'm from there's never a taxi available.
Newcastle is a fairly compact city, The Gate isn't where I go (usually filled with charvas*) It's a 5-10 minute walk Once you leave the main enterance of Central station, go up the road next to a large Starbucks keep going until you come to a crossroads (on the corners are a Greggs, KFC, Pizza Hut and Boots) turn left at boots and the Gate is straight ahead of you. Behinde the Gate is the legendary Stowell Street (aka Chinatown so you can get fed at a reasonable price) although THe Gate has a nandos and a few other places * How it's pronounced
There are taxi ranks outside all of the busy spots (the gate, bigg market, central station and the quayside). You might wait 15 minutes in a queue but probably beats having to be at a certain place at a certain time for a cab. Have a good one mate
