The Haymarket is situated at the top end of the main shopping area in Newcastle and is well served by public transport with the Metro Station and Bus Station close at hand.

The Civic Centre and Hancock Museum are two distinctive buildings that grace the area as well as the Universities of  Newcastle and Northumbria. It is very popular with the student crowd and as a result some of the pubs can tend to get fairly busy, especially at weekends. 

The Gallowgate area is close to the Newcastle United football stadium and there are lots of football supporters frequenting the bars on match days. You can find a host of pubs all with their own distinctive character in Percy Street, which runs the length of the Haymarket into Gallowgate.

In the centre there is access to the Eldon Square Shopping Centre and with Chinatown just up the road, it also makes an ideal place to pop in for a drink  before dining out in one of the numerous Chinese restaurants situated in Stowell Street.

Traditionally the Haymarket & Gallowgate has a welcoming, lively atmosphere and with the diverse range of pubs located in this area, makes it well worth a visit.
