This vibrant and up-beat bar opened recently on the famous Bigg Market in Newcastle. They offer enormous 20inch pizzas and pizza slices alongside a delicious cocktail menu and have a variety of different deals you can enjoy.
They have a happy hour 12-7 Monday – Friday (and all night Sunday) where cocktails are 2 for £12 and offer a bubbly bottomless brunch where you can enjoy unlimited prosecco, mimosas, belinis, budweiser and appleshed cider with 20inch sharing pizzas and popcorn for £29.95. The brunch lasts 90 minutes and booking must start between 12-4pm.
The atmosphere is always lively and it is great for a boozy meal with friends or for a nice drink to start the night.

Located at the entrance to Grainger Market on Nelson Street, this warm and dimly lit bar is open late into the night and offers some delicious cocktails at great value.
This festive period, they’ve introduced a boozy xmas afternoon tea. For an afternoon filled with lots of festive drinks (think mulled wine, baileys and bucks fizz) plus lots of Christmassy treats (mince pies and of course pigs in blankets) all for just £34.95, head to their Instagram to find out more and book.
Mardi Gras No. 58 have made the ‘Doner Delish’ a permanent addition to their toastie menu.
This mouth-watering meal has been unveiled by a food stall at Tynemouth Market, where it “went down a storm” with customers on its debut weekend at the end of last month. So much so, the husband and wife duo Nicki Thompson and Dean Thompson, have made it a permanent addition to their Tynemouth Market food stall.
The couple set up their Mardi Gras No.58 food stall at the popular market in October last year, specialising in sourdough toasties “with a twist”.
The stall strives to serve up “quirky and modern” toasties like the customer favourite Popeye Pesto, a toastie filled with pesto-coated chicken, spinach and cheese. Or for those who like a kick, there’s also the Buffalo Badboy, made of spicy beef mince with jalapenos and fresh chillies.
Mardi Gras has already taken inspiration from other popular takeaway dishes, with their Pizza Pepperoni toastie sandwiching pizza toppings between two sourdough slices.
Packed with doner meat, crispy red onion, gooey melted cheese, and finished off with garlic and chilli sauce, Nicki and Dean urged people via their Facebook page: “Don’t knock it until you try it!”.
The couple have hinted at toastie fans to “watch this space” for more indulgent inventions from Mardi Gras No. 58 coming soon!
What takeaway delight would you like to see in toastie form next? We’d love to try a take on the Teesside parmo!
Would you try the ‘Doner Delish’?

See Northumberlandia ‘Lady of the North’ like never before with this incredible drone footage that shows the true scale of the artwork.
Learn all about the artwork and its history with our video.
Northumberlandia is a unique piece of public art set in a 46 acre community park with free public access and 4 miles of footpaths on and around the landform.
The centerpiece of the park is Northumberlandia, a stunning human landform sculpture of a reclining lady. Made of 1.5 million tonnes of rock, clay and soil, she is 100 feet high and a quarter of a mile long.
Far from being a rigid manicured art form Northumberlandia is a living part of the countryside that will mature over time and change with the seasons. What you see when you visit is only the start of something that will evolve through generations.
