Train terminal watering holes are only usually worth nipping in if you need a piddle, but Centurion, the former first class lounge at Central Station, isn’t your average station sup house. With its beautiful high ceiling and antique tiling, this attractive stop is good if you're about to hop on a train.

Newcastle Nightlife
Geordies have a well-deserved reputation for knowing how to have a good time and the great range of pubs, bars and clubs in Newcastle reflect their thirst for life. Though the focus of drinking at the weekend is the Bigg Market, unless you're a young reveller in search of cheap alcohol it's best to avoid this area. More sophisticated watering holes are located close to the river.
