Newcastle Bars – Is This What It Has Come To?
Hey blog,
So yesterday we went out in Newcastle; Friday night, in Newcastle, go to bars and it’s a good night. It is January, and the middle of the month, and a Friday (as opposed to a Saturday night) and over the past few years the bars have got quieter on a Friday night in the middle of the month. Last night the “trendy” bars were dead! We went to Baby Lynch at around 9pm and had the entire bar to ourselves. When we left at around 9:30 there were only another 2 groups of people in there. We then went to Ohso, and there was us and 1 other group! By the time we left there around 10pm were 4 or 5 other groups of people, so still dead. It looked like the same story for Perdu, we walked past (no queue) and I had a quick look in and it looked pretty empty too. The Diamond Strip bars were all quiet, apart from Revolution which looked quite busy, but that always is.
It is strange to see “the cool bars” being so empty, but walking past places like The Bee Hive being really full, we went to Popolo, Baccus and Hoochie Coochie too which were as busy as they usually are on a Friday night. It is sort of sad to see the bars being so quiet, it’s really weird that you can go 1 week and be the only one in the bar and go back the next and have to queue to get in. Ohso was actually cool when it was quite empty, DJ playing good music and in a nice warm bar with more or less nobody else, it was like my own exclusive place
This is what I wore last night:

- Barbour Jacket
- Gant Knit
- Jaeger Shirt
- True Religion Jeans
3 layers last night, it was freezing!
Literally, it was -2. I remember in my youth years ago I would go out with only a short sleeve shirt on, those were the days
