Bar Oz, Newcastle upon Tyne

This, the city's only Australian theme bar, is to be found at the top of Percy Street, and, being near to Haymarket bus station is a popular meeting place. Aussie imagery abounds on the walls, including clocks telling the time down under, and there is a big screen which shows all the major sporting action. The Australian-style tucker (which is an Australian colloquiallism for food) also comes recommended - the hearty portions represent excellent value for money, as do the Happy Hour prices before 7p. Given Bar Oz's proximity to the city's universities it is favoured by students, especially at lunchtimes. Evenings generally see a good mix of clientele, when the regular DJ plays requests alongside a mix of tunes past and present. Bar Oz also boasts the only circular pool table in Newcastle.
