    It is my usual pre match pub, and on match days it is rammed.

    Initial Reaction: Being that we were unexpectedly staying for the night due to the weather further…read morenorth, through my Yelp search, I found some cocktail lounges to check out. The Botanist was an excellent find when we stayed the night in downtown Newcastle. Located on Monument Mall, you have to up three flights of stairs or take the lift (elevator) to reach the main bar and lounge that has a strong botanical garden theme that is quite beautiful, especially with the location being under a dome. The dome is gorgeous and really enhances the botanical garden and atrium effect. The cocktails are very good as well. I ordered a buttered coconut old fashioned that was quite rich and creamy, but very satisfying with the toasted coconut and butter-washed Makers Mark bourbon with homemade salted honey syrup. My wife enjoyed her Botanist Ultimate Gin & Tonic as we took a table with these plushy lounge chairs. The bartender was fantastic and friendly in making us the cocktails. Really nice guy who made us feel at home. Additionally, they have a rooftop balcony to enjoy the drinks; however, on this evening, it was windy and cold (at least for us Floridians) to where we decided to stay warmer inside. But we would return in a heartbeat.

    Best kabobs eve! The peri peri chicken was moist and had tremendous flavor. Incredible atmosphere…read morein the main atrium. Save room for the shared cookie dough; one of the best desserts I've had!

    The Bacchus - Toon Broon and Dark Munro. Half and half.

    This place is somewhere between an old fashioned boozer and a classy bar. I couldn't quite figure…read moreit out but I liked it nonetheless. I took a leaf from my dad's book and ordered two halves at the same time. There's a great range of beers on. I also spotted a very exciting gin and tonic menu. Our (rather large) party ordered a selection of bar snacks - pork pies and black pudding scotch eggs - which were bloody amazing. The scotch egg in particular, and the real ale chutney, were incredible. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Newcastle.

    I was recently in Newcastle for a guided beer tour (read: ale pub crawl) and our first stop after…read morearriving in the city was Bacchus. As soon as you cross the threshold into this place, you're hit with the juxtaposition of the clean, modern styling from behind the bar and on the walls against the dark, old-school wood and upholstery of the seating and the cool brass of the hand pumps. Whilst in here, I decided to sample what I presume to be a local brew - "Toon Broon". Being someone who enjoys a bottle or two of the ol' dog*, I figured this would go down well and I certainly wasn't wrong. I received a good, easy drinking brown ale which I'd quite happily have knocked back in larger quantities had we been there for longer. The stand-out aspect of my visit here, though, has to be the bar snacks. My girlfriend and I ordered a hand-raised pork pie and a black pudding scotch egg to share, but to be honest we both agreed afterwards that we'd rather have ordered two of the scotch eggs. There wasn't anything wrong with the pork pie, not by a long shot. It was a good pie, filled with quality pork which was excellently seasoned without too much jelly inside the pastry which I liked, and it came with a seemingly home-made piccalilli which was also pretty good. It just didn't stand up to the black pudding egg, though. The egg itself was wrapped in a good layer of black pudding, maybe 1-1.5cm thick all round, and coated in what looked to me to be panko breadcrumbs to add some crunch. The egg inside was cooked, but not overdone with no discolouration around the yolk. Not content with simply serving up a cracking scotch egg, it came accompanied by a dark ale chutney. Oh. My. God. That chutney. It was stunning; it was delicious in it's own right but it added an astounding sweet-savoury note to everything which was amazing. Overall, I'd quite happily return to Bacchus if I ever found myself in Newcastle again on the beers. Not just because they have a cracking range of beers and spirits, but in no small part also so I can order about 10 of those scotch eggs. (I accept no responsibility for any addictions to black pudding scotch eggs which may arise from visiting after reading this review. Consume at your own utterly delicious peril.)
