Welcome

Best Bar None is a scheme that rewards and recognises the responsible operators who are genuinely striving to reduce alcohol related disorder and promote responsible drinking.

Venues that meet the stringent standards of Best Bar None are awarded accredited status. Accredited venues then display the Best Bar None logo to show their customers that they are socialising in a venue that is committed to the wellbeing and safety.

Launched by Safe Newcastle, and backed by Metro Radio, the scheme works in partnership with the licensed trade, the local authority and the police to create a safer city for all.

Newcastle has a thriving and vibrant nightlife that draws visitors from all over the UK and beyond. The fact that so many of our nightspots have achieved accredited status means that visitors and residents can have a fun and safe night out.

Best Bar None is a Home Office backed national scheme. It is currently being rolled out across 90 local authorities. Newcastle was the first to launch the scheme in the North East three years ago and is one of the top performing schemes nationally.
