Budget dependant, but there's a couple of Premier Inn / Travel Lodge type places on Quayside, or a bit nicer there's a Jury's Inn, 5 mins walk from the train station.

Destination wise, a local will be able to keep you right, but from my experience you've got:

- The Gate - all a bit theme-bar'y (Wetherspoons/TGI Fridays et al) for my liking, but certainly busy enough.

- Quayside - more upmarket, nicer bars

- Biggmarket - now we're into real Stag & Hen do territory. Rough as a badgers ass-crack, full of pubs and kebab shops and pretty much where all stag n hen parties seem to gravitate towards.

Enjoy, it's a good night out is Newcastle!
