My husband and I went here twice in a Saturday night we liked it so much! First we went earlier in…read morethe night, around 10:30pm, where it was crowded but not overwhelming so. A HUGE pour of wine (no measurement yay!!) was only a little more than a fiver- I'm used to the same price for half that glass in London! The bartender was helpful and cheerful and the music was not too loud to block out convo. After pregaming we went to Soho Rooms next door to dance for a few hours and then came back for another round at The Vineyard as it was playing Latin music (yes!!) and there was some dancing. No cover either time. We left after a while but had such a good time.

My friend Butcher introduced me to The Vineyard four or five years ago - and rather than being…read moremesmorised by the selection of beers (Duvel). I was mesmorised by the fucking toilets. Srsly, it's like walking into the set of some fucking Hollywood epic or some shit. When you walk in - you half expect to see Peter O' Toole as Lawrence of Arabia leaning over the grandiose urinals holding his errrr - bottle of Duvel. It's definitely some experience. Hennyway. Apart from the toilets, and not exactly having a massive variety of beers to choose from, aswell as the place being small, and being prone to fill up EXTREMELY quickly. This place has a wonderful charm, which it would be fantastic if half of the overly pretentious Newcastle bars could replicate. Highly recommended. Four stars.

We walked over to Dacantus on a Friday afternoon, this is a gin bar recommended by Johnny and Chris…read moreat The Botanist (feels funny saying Gin Bar, like Carrie Nation and the Prohibitionists are going to come charging through the door and challenge my femininity and sobriety). Out of curiosity... I made a note to look up the meaning of Dacantus (this is a Spanish place, only one person working here (the bartender when we arrived) isn't Spanish) - the closest I could get was "wine aerator" but I think that's because there's a wine aerator branded Decantus. We'd never seen Beefeater 24, so hubs ordered one with grapefruit and cardamon garnish and Fever Tree Light Tonic £6.50. When hubs tasted this, he said "wow" very softly and his eyes lit up. I had Bombay Sapphire with juniper berries and lemon peel and Slim Schweppes Tonic £5.95. They really twisted those peels to get as much aromatic oil out of them as possible (and they did it with two sets of tongs, not their bare fingers). The cardamon was a ground spice. The ice was very large - less dilution of the cocktails. I liked the juniper berries quite a bit. We were offered an aperitif to accompany our gin & tonics, chicken in a mustard sauce, quite tasty. Then we ordered the pork cubes. Not at all what we expected! It was a larger portion and the food was universally delicious! We'll be back in summer of 2016!

Similar to Mr Lynch in that it has a great atmosphere and the decor is a mish mash of colours where vintage meets modern! Although it does attract the students....if you're not don't let this put you off as it can be nice and quiet during the week. The food is fantastic and excellent value for money. They also have daily happy hours on drinks as well as 2 cocktails for £5 on a Monday night!! The staff aren't always the quickest or the friendliest but can't fault the drinks. I've been to the quiz a couple of times which is on a Tuesday and Thursday night. Really good fun.....the most random questions I've ever come across mind!! we had a whole round related to cats and dogs so an example question was 'which breed of dogs have black tongues?' The only frustrating thing is that the quiz master doesn't read out the answers which is normally the fun part of the quiz when you laugh at your own inaccuracies!! Perhaps the only reason why Nancy's gets a 4 instead of a 5! If you're ever towards Manors direction this bar is worth a visit!!

If you're looking for a bit of glamour this is the place!! Having only been open a few weeks and…read morebeing an avid wine drinker I felt an obligation to check out this new swanky champagne and whiskey bar so I put on my posh frock, high heels and sparkly jewellery, to make sure I looked the part, and headed out. Very elegantly decorated with classical black and white contrast and ornate chandeliers, in keeping with the desired contemporary glamour and ambience of the bar. There is also an outdoor cigar terrace if that takes your fancy so it's definitely a throwback to the decadent 1920's! Excellent selection of drinks but some can be relatively pricey (particularly their speciality drinks but this would be expected). A glass of champagne starts at £6.90 and whiskeys or draught beers from £4.20. Wine is the usual price for city centre indulgence. The cocktail list looked really interesting and I'd be keen to sample next visit! The only criticism I currently have is the lack of seating or even perches for your drinks....lots of people left standing which seems to work in a pub but takes the shine off this bar. Maybe it's worth a visit midweek as I did attend on a busy Saturday night. Also bear in your mind your attire as it's certainly not the destination of choice if you're a jeans and boots girl like me!

Nice and quiet during the day but very popular and busy on an evening. Clean and tidy with nice looking interior and art on the walls. They serve great beer and lager at around £2.50 a pint. Service is friendly and very good indeed.

We found out about it using the free StreetAway app, and managed to get 34% off 3 Tapas and 2 Drinks! The location, as I previously touched on, is absolutely stunning, and is a real hidden gem. It's nestled right on the River Tyne, next to the Swing Bridge, and we went at night, meaning it was a fantastic sight to see the lights of Newcastle. As for the food itself, I couldn't have asked for more. I'm normally a picky eater, so was very apprehensive about actually eating here. However, I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised (who'd have thought Squid would taste so good!). I would definitely come here again, whether it be for a meal with friends, a date, or another work night out. Great stuff!

They have a great selection of wines, as you would expect, wicked cheeseboards, gins liqueurs and whiskies that even kept the Scots happy. I would recommend here either as a place to have a chilled drink, or a lovely meal, definitely try the theme nights too. It can be a little clique-y though, but most are friendly and welcoming enough.
