Switch is one of NewcastleGateshead's most popular gay bars playing the best dance and party tunes. With two floors of music and a wide selection of drinks to choose from, Switch is well known as a Powerhouse pre-venue, where wristbands for the Pink Triangle’s biggest club can be purchased at the bar.
Live DJs play a mixture of chart, dance, house and pop classics each evening, meaning there’s something to please every music taste. The venue also often hosts widely anticipated events such as the heats of Drag Idol, the North’s biggest drag competition.
Offering free entry, Switch is a must visit on a sunny evening due to its extensive roof top terrace.
