Newcastle Upon Tyne

Well, it's travel for me...

Any hints on what to see, where to go, how to do, what to avoid?  Pubs, clubs, shops, tours, places etc would be most welcome.  It's a weekend trip, in Sunday morning from Dublin, see the match and out Sunday night.

All suggestions (even ironic ones) appreciated...

I've had a few good Sunday evenings in the fancy bars up by the Millennium Bridge, followed by a night out in Buffalo Joe's.

Bob Trollops on the Quayside is a nice place for couple of beers.  Food's excellent & cheap too, though I think it's just a veggie menu (I wouldn't let that put you off though - it's not your usual veggie-therefore-must-be-on-a-diet-menu, you'll come out feeling stuffed).

For a full-on Newcastle experience visit the Bigg Market.  You'll need your drinking head on tho.  You've probably seen this area featured on various documentaries where the TV cameras follow the police around.
