Tup Tup Palace

You'll spot the ornate entrance from halfway down the street – this place doesn't do subtle. Inside, it's all chandeliers, plush seating, and mirror balls that wouldn't look out of place in a Russian oligarch's yacht. The cocktail menu runs deeper than your typical nightclub fare, with bartenders who actually know their way around a shaker. The crowd skews towards the glamorous end of Newcastle nightlife – think hen parties, birthday celebrations, and anyone who's made an effort with their outfit. Music leans heavy on commercial dance and chart hits, exactly what you'd expect. It's pricier than your average Bigg Market crawl, but the VIP booth service is solid if you're celebrating something special.
