Blonde Barrel

One of the more stylish bars, just next door to raucous Rusty's. The Blonde Barrel attracts after-work drinkers & concerts goers at the nearby arena and stocks one of the best craft beer selections of the scene.

Big screens show football, and there are drink deals on match days. Their food menu is perfect is great., too. Outside seating overlooks Times Square, but this may be limited in the cold Newcastle winters.
