No 28

No28 (27-29 Nelson Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5AN) is one of the city’s most under-the-radar yet celebrated late-night venues. Nestled just off the Grainger Market and tucked up above the street, it offers a blend of chic cocktail bar, relaxed dining spot and boutique club zone. The venue opens from midday on weekends and early evening on other days — until 3 am every night — so whether you’re after brunch, an early evening drink or a full on night out, No28 has you covered. Food and drink both make strong showings. The bar offers a broad cocktail list, 2 for £12 deals (Sunday–Friday), bottoms-up prosecco brunches, and late-night snacks/small plates. The kitchen serves everything from tapas-style dishes to burgers and Sunday roasts. Reviews highlight the good portions and food quality especially on Sunday lunch. After about 10pm especially on Fridays and Saturdays, No28 morphs from stylish bar into a boutique clubbing space: DJs, dancefloor, lighting and a vibrant crowd. Entry is generally free. Decor-wise the space has been described as warm, intimate and chic. Think stylish seating, mirror-balls, illuminated cherry-blossom tree over the bar and a combination of lounge + party zones. In short: No28 is a flexible destination — dinner with cocktails, bottomless brunch, pre-club drinks or full late-night dancing — all in one, discreet city-centre venue.
