Life is not normal at the minute in NewcastleGateshead and the North East and we're all getting our heads around the latest round of restrictions to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in the UK. However, bars, pubs and restaurants across Newcastle and Gateshead are still open and offer you a chance to escape the same four-walls for a swift half with your 'bubble' as long as we all work together to be responsible and stick to the new government guidelines which were brought in on Friday 18 September.

Tightened local lockdown restrictions in NewcastleGateshead and the wider North East means that restaurants, bars and pubs:

will only provide table service
will close at 10pm (with many serving last orders about 9.30pm).
table numbers are limited to 6 people and these people must all be from your household or support bubble.

Individual venues may have implemented further changes too and all pubs and bars in NewcastleGateshead have worked hard to adapt how they cater for visitors and ensure they keep you and their staff safe and prevent the spread of coronavirus. Measures include spaced out tables for better social distancing, essential pre-booking at some venues and new apps to enable visitors to order from their table and avoid crowding at bars - let's be honest, table service in bars is a real plus! Let's keep enjoying ourselves but making sure that we look after ourselves, the staff and our loved ones too.

Local brewers and pubs have kept fans of craft beer in good supply with delivery and takeaway beers during recent weeks and pubs such as local favourite The Free Trade, will continue to provide a click and collect service until they are ready to reopen.

Read on for a list of bars, pubs and breweries that are ready to welcome you in NewcastleGateshead.
