Eddie. I gave thumb up just after seeing the video title. After watching the video, Newcastle visit becomes imminent. You are doing great for both your foreign countries followers and Newcastle city and culture. 🙏
I went to university in Newcastle many years ago. Lived in Castle Leazes part of the city, near the city centre. Absolutely fantastic city. To be honest when I was up there I kept on thinking ' I hope no one tells anyone about Newcastle' - just to keep it the same nice place to go out in.
I come from Austria, and studied in Newcastle a few years back, and yes, the nightlife was legendary ( I spare you the details)...one thing that always stunned me how little people were wearing even when it's freezing cold outside. I guess you could easily spot me as a foreigner wearing a winter coat and gloves 🤣😅
Lol. I go to Spain early on in the year to watch live footy and the weather is like our summer here and all the Spanish have big jackets on and that and I've got shorts and T-shirt on and they look at me like I'm an idiot.
I used to live in Newcastle, spent many a night in the Bigg Market. I wasn’t aware that it was still a place to drink. I thought restaurants had taken over. It brought a tear to my eye watching this. Really really good to see. Well done and thanks for doing this, Eddy
Great watch Eddie. As a local westerhope lad, the toon never fails to deliver. Every area gets a renewed feeling from time to time. Haymarket, bigg market, quayside. Do a video in Ouseburn. Tanners, ship, cluny, brinkburn, 2by2 brewery, the Grove etc etc. Becoming the place to be now, especially on a hot day
If your old enough to remember the Mondays and the Stone Roses back in the day 10 pm is the time when 'its' just beginning. You really show Newcastle and the surrounds areas especially the night life in a really good light. Keep up the good work. Who ever it is that is supposed to promote Newcastle owes you a big thank you but I would prefer cash.
Was there last weekend £18 for two drinks anywhere related to the quayside ,go up into the toon £10,and geordies must be fit as fk as I’ve never seen so many hills in a city,love the people🏴
had many nights out there in the 80s when our royal navy ships used to dock at north shields and we'd get the last metro train back to percy main. i probably have a few kids scattered around the area that i never met, geordie birds aren't shy
I 'm the Building Manager of the office complex that runs down the centre of the Bigg Market, including the Jobcentre and Revolution de Cuba. Cleaning up in the morning is ****. Thanks to the team at NE1LTD for their assistance. Party on!!!!
I'm pretty excited going there in July. Do you have any recommendations for 4 german men, aged 26-31 in Newcastle? Any pubs/bars which could fit to us?
Newcastle is a great place to go out, always has been. I remember years ago (I’m not from the NE) going to Madisons and having a great time. One thing that’s changed, is we have an obesity epidemic and ultimately, this will cost the economy and the country. We really need to educate our young people about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. I say that not bitching, but as a concerned citizen.
Being a lad from Shields, Whitley Bay was the place to be, then moved over the river and took in the nightlife there, didn't really get to the toon that much unless a concert at the City Hall or the legendary GoGo, but regardless the whole area is a place to celebrate and as usual you've hit the nail on the head. Surprised to see how many still smoking over there money can't be that tight.
Lived in Toon since 2010 (moved for uni and stayed). For me, the nightlife never fully recovered after the pandemic. Sad really because there wasn't a night out in the UK that quite rivalled Newcastle. I suspect thats a national trend though. Cost of living crisis and all that.
Hiya Eddy, I'm not from Aspatria, but my bestie Joe Dunne the electrician is, I enjoyed this vlog, I wouldn't like to wait 25 minutes for my drink, but that just which way it goes, lets see who Newcastle buy in the summer, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
It's good if you just want to get pissed and aren't actually that interested in the music. Otherwise it's not a patch on places like Manchester and Leeds
It was. The boat is gone, buffalo Joe's, Baja beach club etc, loads of places on the quayside and town gone. Shut down etc. I think it started declining in 2005 and started a bigger declined in around 2010 onwards.
To be honest Eddy when I came up for my 50th birthday and was out at a pub on the night of my birthday it was boring I just sat there with my mate having a pint we could have done that in Plymouth without having to drive for hours. Maybe next time I come up it will be better but my only experience so far was disappointing.
❤❤❤❤ Its buzzing pal! We start always in the beehive,then the rose and crown,the lowther en then the clock love being around newcastle locals...always good fun🎉
When they gonna win summat, like ? Wind up kids, afore ya kick off. Got mi first taste of Newkie, i was 15. Rough as a dog all the next day. Happy days in the 70's, learning the crack, about life !!
There's no place like Newcastle on a night out - whatever your 'thing' is, civilized or uncivilized, Newcastle has it, the place just plugs you in & lights you up.
I remember spray vomiting through my fingers over 3 girls in a pub (I bet they didn't pull that night). Then, on another night out, being the coldest I've ever been and, being a southern softie, a lass felt sorry for me and lent me her (very small) lambswool cardigan. Both times with you Ed. Great times.
Eddy you doing great and sharing amazing content. I’m from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 and I would love to visit the city newcastle one day to watch some football and view the city.
sorry but I have to concur, yes it definitely was in the 50s 60s 70s great pubs nightclubs with live groups cluba gogo, mayfair, oxford, majestic, city hall, bloomers, changes, dolce a vita, all night breakfast bowers, absolute rubbish now just full of drunks over priced crap drinks, its become a dump, even thunder hill is a dump now, all gone sour. walker agro boys 69 71
Great video, my favourite UK city, I’ve supported NU since 1968 (long story) and I get up as much as possible. It’s a great city, clean (relative to a lot of other cities) nice people, great atmosphere and has everything the bigger cities have. It doesn’t matter what your budget, your cultural preferences or your idea of a “great night out” is, Newcastle is the best in the UK. The only problem is, the weather can be sh1te! Now, onto something very serious…..we in the UK have a serious youth obesity problem. Don’t start saying it’s ok, because it’s not. Overweight young people equal long term, mature health problems. They also represent lower output levels and more working days lost to sickness. Our government needs to do something. We need to heavily tax junk food, and instead of allowing loopholes like the 600ml Coke bottles saying 2 servings, just tax high sugar content foods. On top of that, we need to ban artificial sweeteners, many of which are linked to cancer. If we don’t do something now, our national competitors will over-run us. Our state education and NHS are already in decline and we’ll create a class of person who is dependent on the state because they’re too obese to work. This is why sport is important and needs more funding from the Government in conjunction with private industry. I’d be embarrassed to show my flesh if I was so overweight. It’s not healthy and it’s not normal and all it means is high profits for the producers of sh1t food. It’s not about banning, it’s about moderation. Sorry for the rant, it just galls me because I grew up when kids were fit, slim and healthy, and there was the odd porker.
It’s isn’t an obesity problem unique to the young, it a problem that affects the wider population of all ages. The balance between personal responsibility and a nanny state is s delicate one 👍🏻
@@TynesideLife I totally agree, but the media allows everyone to divorce themselves from responsibility. No-one ever holds their hand up now, and admits they’re to blame. That’s as bad a pandemic as the morbid obesity rates in the UK! Just have to look at everyone from Government to “minor” celebrities trying to weasel out! Keep up the great work. Your vids after the Leicester game were amazing! I just wished I could have been there…. work gets in the way of life!
Night out is dead in comparison how it used to be roughly two decades ago. Sorry to say but this place is never the same after all those crises we’ve had over all those years.
Well the Geordie's are a friendly bunch and know how to have a good time granted - but let's be honest the girls aren't all that. Cheryl Cole is a rare exception.
