When you're looking for a place to watch the big match in Newcastle or Gateshead, you'll never be far from a great sports bar.
The Shark Club is without doubt Newcastle's best known sports bar, and as it's located near St James' Park, it's as close as you can get to the football without actually stepping foot into the stadium! On St James' Boulevard, NINE Sports Bar and Lounge is the ideal place to quench your thirst before the Newcastle United game, or catch the international games as they show a variety of sports on their several screens. Located nearby you will also find The Strawberry, a traditional (and iconic!) Newcastle pub popular with football supporters. Packed full of passion, history and charm, it’s the perfect place to experience a proper Geordie football experience.
For sports fans in Jesmond, Spy Bar is an American-inspired sports bar specialising in burgers, beer and all major ball games - you'll always be joined by a lively crowd too. Just a little further along Osborne Road, Osbornes regularly shows sports on their big screens, which you can even find on their outdoor terrace so you can kick back and enjoy the game in the sunshine.
Over the river, the Metropole is the favourite sports bar in Gateshead and shows all of the big games, but even if you're not a sports fan it's worth a visit to admire its beautiful Victorian facade and enjoy a pint of local real ale.
In recent summers, live matches have had an airing at outdoor beer gardens and alfresco settings from Screen on the Green to Riverside's outdoor Paddy Park on Newcastle Quayside.
