Bar Social is the place for food, cocktail, spirit, and coffee lovers in Newcastle. Next to the Vue Cinema, it is the perfect social hang out as well as a great end to a date night. You can make Bar Social whatever you need it to be, whether its cocktails before dinner elsewhere, a coffee stop mid-afternoon, a catch-up meal with friends, or a party night out; this place has it all.
The interiors are mainly wood-based with dark tables, chairs and a traditional wooden bar. Touches of modern decor add a level of trendiness to the place, such as the leather sofas, exposed brick walls and bright, colourful lighting that helps to get the party started.
Bar Social certainly knows how to run events with themed nights throughout the week. On Wednesdays, it's time to get your voices warmed up for a spot of karaoke; while Thursdays are left to the professionals with open mic performances from local musicians. On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar stays open until late with music and a party atmosphere.
The venue isn't just known for its drinks and fun vibe though, the food menu also draws attention with its selection of burgers, pizzas, grill and small plates. Treat your guest to a starter of southern fried chicken with a buffalo dip before moving onto a New Jersey pizza that features a barbecue base, chicken, bacon, salami with spicy cheese. Finish off the American-style feast with a New York cheesecake; choose from vanilla, blueberry or strawberry and indulge with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
At lunch, the hot sandwiches are a stand out choice. Tender slices of steak and caramelised onion are topped with melted stilton and sandwiched in a rich, brioche roll.
If you fancy something lighter, bar snacks of loaded nachos or jalapeno bites make a great accompaniment to any of the delicious and classic cocktails.
