As we did last year, we’ve been compiling a list of reopening dates for pubs, breweries, and your other favourite places to grab a beer in Newcastle and the rest of the North East. The list includes places opening their outdoors areas on April 12th, plus links if an advanced booking is required. If we’ve missed any, please drop us an email.
If you’re venturing out to any local businesses when things open up again, we recommend you double check in advance in case they’ve updated their bookings policy. We fully respect those places staying closed, and we hope that you’ll join us in supporting every company with their efforts to keep both their customers and their staff as safe as possible.
And please remember – there may be delays with food and drink service, there may be socially distanced queues, you may be turned away from places that are full, and there will inevitably be some hiccups – please be considerate and appreciative of the staff working hard to do their best.
