For a friend’s birthday celebration we went up to Newcastle (North East England) and met up in a super bar called Harry’s Bar. We had a great time there. The atmosphere is lively and they specialize in cocktails although you can order the usual wines and beers if you wish. You may drink inside or outside.

When we had refreshed ourselves we took a short walk to Pinocchio, a lovely little, well-established, Italian-style restaurant. Pinocchio is full of charm and super-friendly staff. It is very interestingly decorated with, of course, a Pinocchio theme.

We were well looked after from entering to leaving the restaurant and I would certainly recommend it if you love Italian food. We all had great food and wine and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

I would certainly recommend both Harry’s Bar and Pinocchio to anyone wanting an evening out in Newcastle.
