Browns is definitly the new black

If you’re after a civilised joint to hang out in for the likes of afternoon tea, girl chat with cocktails or even a three-course dining treat, you’ll not go far wrong with Browns Bar & Brasserie.

Located on the esteemed Grey Street in Newcastle, our local Browns is a chic destination in the heart of the city’s epicurean scene, and especially handy for a post-retail therapy pit-stop.

Upon entry, past friendly suited and booted doormen, its opulent decor is reassuringly soothing, and comprises rich, dark woods complemented by plush leather seating, atmospheric lighting, and welcoming tables across a number of different levels and dining areas.

Let me tell you – for a slight snob like me, complete with a sensitive disposition, frankly I feel safe and at home.

And what’s even better, is there is space for a resident pianist. I mean, really, what more can you ask for than a tickle on the ivories while relaxing in good company?

So, enjoying a sparkling night out with friends we were treated to a corner table with a superb overview of the huge and busy central bar area, offering ample opportunity to indulge in a spot of people-watching from a safe distance.

The extensive and interesting menu is served up by very friendly staff. The dishes see some of the best seasonal ingredients used to create mouth-watering delights to please every taste.

There were a few of us, and we all enjoyed our fayre, which was washed down with bubbly Prosecco – a delightfully sparkly combination!
