A fantastic feel-good nightclub, with a great, pro-tolerance atmosphere. The downstairs room / bar has a big pool table and, I decided when a bit drunk, a slight superhero relaxation room vibe. Upstairs in the main dance room you will find a great variety of tunes and some inspired mixing. There are a collection of classic albums decorating the area behind the bar, signalling the deep love of music here. And there is a big photo of Nelson Mandela.
It is in a square in the city centre near Pilgrim Street

This is one of Newcastle's best hotels, with an unrivalled position handy for both the quayside and a quick march into the city centre. I read that it is where Anthony Gormley likes to stay when he is in town constructing angels or whatever. The rooms are quite traditional and less trendy than, say, the Malmaison, but comfortable and the staff very helpful. We stayed on one of their special deals over a long weekend, getting a double room for three nights for the price of two, which was around £220.
