A staple of Newcastle's nightlife scene, Jalou is the place for good drinks and great music. Shake things up with a cheeky masterclass or a few happy hour tipples before taking to the terrace then getting down to hip-hop, dancehall and R&B.

Bowling? Karaoke? Ping pong? Mini golf? AND pool? Lane7 doesn't skimp when it comes to quirky activities. Whether you're after fun pre-drinks or ditching the club night altogether, put this St James' Boulevard spot on your birthday agenda.

A proper party palace, Livello is the city centre club bringing you imaginative nights with live musicians, weekly events and big name DJs. If you're in need of a big night out this year, make one to remember with a private area here.

Lover of all things sports? Head over to Wonderbar and celebrate your birthday with your best mates while cheering on all the action and tucking into hearty grub. What's more, this Newgate Street spot has a number of dartboards if you fancy a few games.

Looking for the perfect all-in-one? Spy Bar Jesmond has you covered. Tuck into pimped-up pizzas, loaded burgers and sharing platters all washed down with craft beers and cocktails in chilled out surroundings.

From late nights fuelled by tequila at Verano to cocktail classes and absinthe galore at La Fee, this diverse spot has really got something for everyone. Book your spot for cocktails, pizza and some fun in the ball pit.

A cocktail haven, Zarabanda Bing Bing is the place for birthday drinks in Newcastle. If you fancy something a little different, then book onto a cocktail masterclass where you'll be greeted with prosecco and canapes before learning to shake, stir and serve 2 cocktails of your choice.

Keeping it low-key? Opt for The Holy Hobo's lip-smacking kebab selection washed down with frozen drinks and modern cocktails. With leafy decor and rustic charm, this is a great choice for alternative birthday parties in Newcastle.

If you're looking for an affordable spot to celebrate your birthday, head on down to 97 & Social. With discounted drinks and deals on food running throughout the week, you won't have to break the bank. Think teapot cocktails, spritz-style sips and British bites.

One of the best places in Newcastle for a birthday party, The Brunch Club is a go-to for fun weekend drinking sessions. Not only can you scoff tasty breakfast bites with refreshing cocktails to wash them down, but there's always a quirky theme - from Abba to emo.

If blueberry daiquiris and raspberry mojitos sound like your idea of a good time then get down to River Bar Washington where you'll find All-American menus dedicated to the best in boozy sips and Southern-style comfort food.

Release your inner child with a visit to Alvinos. Whether you're out with the lads, chilling with the girls or keeping it casual with a date, this laid-back joint promises table football, pinball machines and 2 bars spread across 3 levels.
