Review:  


A new addition to the Pink Triangle/gay village scene that is described as Newcastle's newest trendiest pub. The pub is easy distinguishable with its colourful Switch logo outside, above the main entrance. The glass windows to the front give a bright and airy feel to the place. The bar is decorated in a modern style with a smart curved shaped bar and the floor partly carpeted, wooden and tiled. The decor is a mixture of mustard and maroon colours with a stylish lighting system. There is plenty of seating throughout with tables and chairs and high stools along the bar. A small stage is located opposite to the bar where the DJ booth is also situated. A large drop down screen is also housed in this area showing music videos. Regular music is on play at most times with a DJ on most nights. To the rear of the pub there is some games machines and the toilets can also be found in this area. The pub attracts a mixed clientele and should become increasingly popular once it becomes firmly established. It should be very busy on a weekend with. Disabled access to the pub is very good with a designated disabled toilet. Toilets are small and clean.
 


Price: Moderate.
