Newcastle Cocktail Week is back for round two, and it’s going to be even more epic than last year! Packing a boozy punch from Friday 21st to Sunday 30th March, over 50 of Newcastle’s best bars, pubs, and restaurants will be shaking up signature cocktails for the bargainous price of only £5 — plus there’s exclusive food deals and extra cocktail and mocktail specials. Whether you’re a cocktail pro or just looking for a fun night out, this is the perfect excuse to dive into Newcastle’s buzzing drinks and nightlife scene!
From Newcastle’s hottest cocktail spots to its coolest hidden gems, here’s just a taster of where you can hit up: ASK Italian, Banyan, Be At One, Blackfriar’s, Blues Underground, Castro’s, El Guapo, Gaucho, Horticulture, Jalou, Lane 7, Manahatta, Motel Mexicana, NQ64, Pleased To Meet You, The Alchemist, The Botanist, Victors — and so many more.
Guaranteed to keep the good times flowing, we’re loving the sound of Candy Cloud Bramble at ASK Italian – a dreamy, Insta-worthy masterpiece; Popstar Martini at Bar+Block – sweet, punchy, and ready to party; I Carried a Watermelon at Victors – a fresh, fruity vibe; Get Off The Metro Now at The Geordie Star – a true taste of Newcastle; and Spicy Strawberry Margarita at Pleased To Meet You – a fiery, fruity kick.
It’s not just about the drinks — your Cocktail Week wristband also unlocks some insane food deals too: 3 small plates for £15 at Horticulture, any 2 bao buns and fries for £10 at Kabin, 2 tacos and a side for £15 at Motel Mexicana, 50% off food at Pitcher & Piano, and coffee and a donut for only a fiver at Deep North. With more deals across the city, you’re basically getting dinner and drinks for next to nothing.
Last year’s Cocktail Week was a massive success — so much so that it even inspired Sunderland Cocktail Week. Event founder Alice Christison is excited to see it back: “Last year’s buzz was unreal! People loved the creativity and quality of the cocktails, and this year we’re stepping it up even more. It’s going to be huge!”
Grab a Newcastle Cocktail Week wristband from the Newcastle Cocktail Week website for just £9.95 – £14.95 (plus a £1.50 booking fee). Wristbands can be collected from NQ64 or The Botanist — easy.
