Late licences As the late licence drinking starts properly tonight, which bars in newcastle have got extended licences? Any on osbourne road?
check out the news on tv about this today............its hilarious. "its 11am and here we are in one of the new open all hours pubs, we havent seen any sign of violence or binge drinkinmg as yet but the day is young" they are going on as if these places sell weapons of mass destruction
which other bars? i really wanted to drink through the 24 hours - a half an hour or something -may just be enough to hold on for 24 hours?
It's a total joke. Did you see the two posties? "Ok, well enjoy your pint" The pubs in Scotland have been opened till 1AM for years and there's never any bother.
Wa-hey !! i'm usually to screwed to want to drink tbh but occasionally get a hankerin for a bottle of stella at bang on five past two.
I dont get what all the fuss is about either - it's not as if its only now that people can drink after 11, which is what they seem to be rabbiting on about "Oh yes well late night drinking will cause trouble" - theres loads of late bars and clubs anyway......fools.
the media is bored of the war on terror so now its the war on people who like to go out and enjoy themselves.
The media hype about this is a joke Just seen the news this morning 'I'm reporting from newcastle which has over 600 bars' 'suprisingly the night was quite quiet last night but I've been told by locals that thursday isnt a very busy night' 'A lot of bars did not open for their full licence but many told me they were waiting until the weekend to stay open longer' Don't think you need a degree in journalism to work that one out
its just gonna make things worse, especially with the so-called 'partys over campaign' there was loads of trouble lastnight down the bigg market.
The thing is tho the Bigg Market is generally a troublesome place as we all know, there will always be bother there. Bars like Kiss already stay open until 1 - so I don't see why the new laws would really make a difference down there?
After being turfed out of Hoko-10 at 1am, i couldnt find a single bar that was open (other than Apartment). Dissapointing.
my locals are open an extra hour on thursdays fridays and saturdays.Doesnt seem like much but will make all the difference when I'm on 2-10
