newcastle for weekend places to go?

Tomorrow already called off and reading the horse racing forum earlier when that monster storm hit the track, a few people living near to the track said racing on Saturday was highly improbable.

Well then if you're already in Jesmond, you have to dabble Osbourne Road.

but what will it be like with no races on?? thought it was the place to be when races are on but same tomz / sat??

Races or not, most nights it has a strong crowd, and especially Fri-Sat-Sun it will be busy and a good night.

There are also some good restaurants and resaurant-cuum-bars there so just eat there and then keep moving down the road getting pizzed.

Today has seen the mother of all electrical storms in Newcastle and surrounding areas,Metrocentre evacuated,Racing called off,roads closed all over the region.Ive never seen anything like the rain that fell today.hope it clears up for your weekend.

agree with leazes, heaviest rain sene for years, amazing storm.

Osborne Road is good for a starter. Head into town and do the Bigg Market. Loads of disco, cheap trebles, pulling bars.
Lapdancing club at the bottom end of the street.
Top end is an indoor complex called 'The Gate' lots of bars/clubs/restaurants and also a casino.
Brough Park dogs races on a saturday night too, small money in a taxi from Jesmond/city centre.

friday night-metro to whitley bay

Pitmans Derby, we use to go every year for maybe 10 years, bigg market good shout but wherever you end up i think the geordies are the friendliest (is that a word) people i have ever met
