Whiskey Down Newcastle

You'll find yourself in one of Newcastle's most striking Victorian buildings, where exposed brick meets polished wood and the whiskey collection lines the walls like liquid gold. The American comfort food menu runs deep – think proper mac and cheese, sticky ribs, and burgers that actually justify their price tag. But it's the whiskey selection that sets this apart from the usual Bigg Market crowd. The staff know their bourbon from their rye, and they're not precious about it. Whether you're settling in for a long session with friends or grabbing dinner before heading elsewhere, the atmosphere strikes that rare balance between relaxed and refined.
