Top Dates in Newcastle

This week we’re up in Newcastle to find some of the city’s best date appropriate venues. Here’s just a few of the gems we found…

Tyneside Cinema

Book two cinema tickets for The Classic room at TynesideCinema. This beautiful art deco screen in the restored auditorium (that also has balcony seating!) is the perfect place for a cinema date that’s way above the norm. It’s the last surviving Newsreel theatre still operating in the UK, and plays new movies to cult classics.

The Suggestibles at The Stand Comedy Club

“One of the hottest comedy tickets in the North East” - The Guardian

The Suggestibles (‘You supply the suggestions, they supply the laughs!) are a well-known improv comedy group, playing the 2^nd Monday of each month at The Stand Comedy Club. Comedy nights are a brilliant date option; bonding over laughter! And it will undoubtedly result in little ‘in’ jokes that you both find absolutely hilarious but no one else gets because ‘you had to be there.’

Victoria Tunnel

 

Be a tourist and book on to a tour of the Victoria Tunnel. This fully preserved 19^th century waggon way under the city, stretches from the Town Moor to the Tyne and was used to transport coal from 1842 up to the 1860s.

We’d recommend the Thursday evening tour, that way after your super educational activity you can head to the pub for a nice drink!

Breakfast at Quay Ingredient

“A Small Coffee house underneath a big bridge. Homemade loveliness fresh from the true heart of Newcastle”

For the best breakfast in town head to Quay Ingredient; cinnamon pancakes, a full English, kippers…it’s just a whole load of breakfast goodness. And the coffee’s awesome too.

Peace & Loaf

 

Headed up by 2010 Master Chef: The Professionals finalist, Dave Coulson, Peace & Loaf is a culinary treat that will score major brownie points with your lucky date. Championing fresh, locally sourced produce in recipes inspired by British Cuisine with an innovative flair, this restaurant is worth a visit whether you’ve got a date tagging along or not!

But if you are looking to impress, then a meal here will most certainly do that.

 

A Lunch date at 9 Bar Coffee

9 Bar Coffee has a great atmosphere and stunning decor. With printed bespoke artwork on heavily rusted steal featured throughout the café – it’s a great talking point. As well as serving up excellent coffee they make the world’s best cheese toasties, fact. The perfect place for a casual lunch date.

A Drink at The Centurion

“Voted ‘Newcastle’s most impressive watering hole’ by the Observer, The Centurion is a former first class passenger lounge welcoming an eclectic clientele.”

Head to the Snug with a bottle of red and spend the evening getting to know your date in this really wonderful atmosphere.
