If you’ve got a trip to the North East coming up, this guide is ideal for you…

Revolution — Newcastle

Revolution is a hit with all tourists visiting the land of the Geordies. They offer an array of party packages, from birthdays, hen parties, stag dos, office parties, to just good old-fashioned parties with friends.

This venue covers everything you’d wish for, from bottled service to plenty of food available! They even offer bar tab options and team building events, so you now know where you next office party has to be!

When you’re there

You can’t visit this place without trying some of its chaotic cocktails. From a classic Long Island Iced Tea to beautiful creations such as the Butterfly Effect, you’ll be spoilt for choice.

For the designated drivers, Revolution has you covered with a range of 0% alcohol cocktails that are just as delicious as their boozy counterparts: try out the Smooth Talker, or the aptly named Designated Driver.

What people are saying

People rant and rave about Revolution, and TripAdvisor has a rating of 4/5. In fact, scroll through the review and you’ll be hard pressed to find a review that doesn’t mention a staff member by name to praise.

However, people have mentioned how cold the city is, so remember that long sleeved dress!
