Ask anyone who’s been on a Newcastle stag do and they’ll tell you the same thing. The Geordies know how to throw a party, and they’re happy for you to join in.
The Bigg Market and the Quayside are where it all happens at night, and nobody wears a coat, whatever the weather. In the day there’s go karting, paintball and an evening at the dogs, plus the coast at Tynemouth when the hangover needs sea air.
For where to drink, where to stay and how to get about, read our Newcastle stag do guide below.
A Newcastle stag weekend: my sample itinerary
Friday I’d ease in at The Gate on Newgate Street, mainly because it’s all under one centrally heated roof and nobody will have packed a coat. A couple of cheap rounds at The Keel Row get things moving, then it’s up to The Lofts for the first proper night out. Anyone with money burning a hole can finish with a late flutter at Bally’s Casino.
Saturday Let the day wake everyone up. I’d book bubble football, where Bubble Soccer North East set up at a nearby venue, so nobody has to trek anywhere on a sore head. Later, it’s off to Newcastle Greyhound Stadium, about 10 minutes from the centre, for an evening of greyhound racing and some very confident betting. Back in town, catch a comedy set at The Stand, which is handy for both the Diamond Strip and the Quayside. Then pick your battle. If the lads have dressed to impress and left the costumes behind, split into small groups and take on the Strip along Collingwood Street: Revolution for the stick of ten flavoured vodkas (the stag gets the chilli one), then Tup Tup Palace for clubbing. If anyone’s in fancy dress, head down to the Quayside instead. It’s cheaper, more relaxed and more stag friendly, and a pint through the huge glass frontage at the Pitcher and Piano beats most views in town. The Bigg Market is there for anyone who still wants more.
Sunday A hangover like this needs sea air, so I’d get everyone out to the coast at Tynemouth. In summer, the lads who can’t face the trip can have a slow session by the river near the Gateshead Millennium Bridge instead, finishing with a real ale and some decent food among the chesterfields at The Broad Chare.

Newcastle stag do guide
Made famous by Geordie Shore, Gazza and the Angel of the North (the sculpture, not Susan Boyle), Newcastle has a reputation for fun, frivolity and er, friskiness. Unlike London or Manchester, you can get between most of the main areas on foot or with a short cab ride. Here’s the inside track on a champion neet oot, man.
The Diamond Strip
Newcastle’s central strip of bars runs mainly along Collingwood Street, just east of Central Station. It’s the trendiest part of Toon, where the crowd is more sophisticated, on trend and dare we say body conscious. It’s pricier, but the place to be seen. As much as we love a stag do costume, leave it at home unless you want the bouncers to have the satisfaction of saying ‘not tonight lads’. Dress to impress and break the group up between venues.
Revolution has been a mainstay of the strip for years, in an impressive building with huge pillars and ornate ceilings. Order the stick of ten flavoured vodkas including chilli: the stag will be out of action for 20 minutes, but his humiliation is everyone else’s amusement. In summer, Tokyo has a rooftop beer garden, and for clubbing proper, Tup Tup Palace is your best bet.
Quayside
Our pick for a Newcastle stag do. It’s more relaxed, cheaper and more stag friendly than the Strip, so you can have a laugh without worrying about door policy, and in summer you get a good old session by the river near the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The king of Quayside for views is the Pitcher and Piano. Don’t be put off by the chain reputation; as Phil Spencer would say, it’s all about location, location, location. Go for a pint through that huge glass frontage, not for food. For a classier, more sedate affair, The Broad Chare serves real ale and pretty fine food among wood floors and chesterfields.
The Gate
Why is it called The Gate? Because it’s on Newgate Street. Geddit. It’s a giant glass complex of bars, restaurants, a cinema and a casino all under one centrally heated roof, which is handy when it’s nippy. The crowd is a little younger and it gets busy late on. It was even named ‘Loo of the Year’ by the British Toilet Association. We kid you not.
The Keel Row is no looker, but it’s a Wetherspoon’s Lloyds bar, so fine for a couple of cheap rounds to kick off. The Lofts, the nightclub that took over the old Tiger Tiger site, is the obvious place to end up, and Bally’s Casino, which replaced Aspers in 2026, is on hand for a late flutter.
Daytime
Bubble football: think five-a-side mixed with a full-on pillow fight. Bubble Soccer North East bring the game to you, setting up at a nearby venue, which is much appreciated after a night on the sauce.
The dogs: gambling and stag dos go hand in hand, and Newcastle Greyhound Stadium, about 10 minutes from the centre, does packages for stag dos. Compare Newcastle greyhound racing stag packages.
Paintball: Turbo Ventures is less than a mile from the train station, about a quarter of an hour on foot. Go Ballistic is a 200-acre site about 14 miles out for a bigger day of madcap paintball madness. Compare Newcastle paintball stag packages.
Comedy
Your best bet for comedy is The Stand, an intimate club with an outside decking area for summer, handy for the Diamond Strip and Quayside. Compare Newcastle comedy stag packages.
Tips
No fancy dress on the Diamond Strip; save it for Quayside and The Gate, where stags are welcome. Bigger groups should split up between venues on the Strip.

Frequently asked questions
Can you wear fancy dress in Newcastle?
Yes, but not on the Diamond Strip. Save the costumes for Quayside and The Gate, where stags are welcome. On the Strip along Collingwood Street, dress to impress and split bigger groups between venues, or the bouncers will be saying not tonight, lads.
Where should a stag group drink in Newcastle?
Quayside is our pick. It’s more relaxed, cheaper and more stag friendly than the Diamond Strip, and in summer you get a session by the river near the Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The Bigg Market and The Gate on Newgate Street are good shouts too.
How do you get around Newcastle on a stag do?
Mostly on foot. Unlike London or Manchester, you can get between most of Newcastle’s main areas on foot or with a short cab ride, and Newcastle Greyhound Stadium is about 10 minutes from the centre.
