Newcastle Gay Scene
Newcastle upon Tyne is a Fairly friendly City, the cost of a night out is cheaper than in the South of the Country and it is also rated as the fifth greatest party City in the world! There is an estimated 20,000 gay men that live in Newcastle. Although Newcastle doesn't have an organised gay scene there are bars abd clubs for the gay community. Newcastle doesn't have a gay village to the extend of Manchesters Canal Street or Soho's Old Compton Street but it does have a gay triangle in which the bars are situated.Talks are also underway to create a gay village in Newcastle like in Manchester and London, these talks may be premeture but at least there is movement at long last.
The Gay triangle is situated in the west area of the City Centre, some of them are a bit dreary with little attention paid to there decor.
The Barking Dog
This is a lively pub, but sometimes the music is so loud that you can hear it from streets away. It also has an upsrairs bar which is popular with women.
The Courtyard and Heavens Above
There's quite a contrast between these two bars. The Courtyards customers tend to be older than the other bars, this is why it has the nickname of the "Graveyard." Heavens Above is situated upstairs and describes itself as "Newcastle's Premier Gay Bar." The clientele here is fairly young and pretty. This bar is lively and noisy!
The Powerhouse
The Powerhouse is a night-club situated next to "Rockshots." The Powerhouse is connected to the Village bar by two inside doors. It is Newcastle's only totally gay night club as "Rockshots" is now a mostly mixed and only has a gay night once a week. Entrance to the Powerhouse is usually around £5
Rockies
Rockies bar is a disco bar also situated on the gay triangle. It is sometimes very noisy and crowded but it does have a live male stripper every Sunday and Tuesday night. This bar has recently had a re-fit going for the smarter brighter look.
