Best Bar None Newcastle 2007            


Best Bar None is a scheme that aims to create a safer environment in the pubs,bars and clubs of Newcastle by rewarding safely managed licensed premises, clamping down on alcohol related crime and curbing irresponsible drinking habits.

Safe Newcastle leads the scheme in conjunction with Northumbria Police with support from Metro Radio. It aims to work with the licensed trade to create a safer city centre for all. Other partners include Bar Entertainment and Dance Association (BEDA), The Securities Industry Authority (SIA) and Pubwatch.

Venues entering the scheme are judged against categories including door, drink and drugs policy, crime prevention and emergency procedures. All licensed premises within the Newcastle city centre area were invited to apply by completing an application form. Once forms have been marked, venues will receive an inspection visit from the Best Bar None team.

Premises that meet the minimum criteria are then awarded 'accredited status' and are able to display the Best Bar None logo. This will show customers that they are socialising in a venue that is committed to their care and safety.





Best Bar None Newcastle 2007 - Overall Winner & Bar Gold Category winner - Shearer's is located in the Haymarket/ Gallowgate area of Newcastle.



The five top scoring venues in the pub, club and bar categories will be invited to present before a Best Bar None panel. The scheme culminates in a black tie awards ceremony in March, with one establishment crowned Best Bar None 2007 Newcastle.
