newcastle stag do - help needed.
Discussion
My mate is getting married this year and he's made the mistake of making me best man, despite the fact I'm incable of organising a p*ss up in a brewery.
Anyway, since I'm best man its my duty to arrange his stag do to celebrate his last night of freedom!
He says he wants to go to Newcastle and he wants to do it at the end of May. Plan is we go by train, get a cheap hotel possibly have a bit of food and hit the various drinking establishments.
Since I have no idea what I'm doing I'll open it up to PHers.
I need reccomendations for cheap but decent hotels situated close to bars etc that won't mind a stag party in their premises.
I also need reccomendations for places to eat (again who wont mind a stag party invading on a sat night and who are well priced)
I could also do with recomendations on where the best night life is.
I have quite a lot to live up to. Last year we went to Birmingham and Blackpool on stag trips. Both were excellent so I need to keep up the same standard. We would like some sort of activity too (I think) but we have already done karting to death and have done some shooting - so reccomendtions for that type of thing in Newcastle would be appreciated too!
Thanks.

The premier inn on the quayside is usually pretty cheap and doesn't mind stag parties. Its well located too.
Plenty of bars to choose from - it depends on which demographic you want to fit into......
activity wise - we went quad biking - it was about 30 min drive away - got a local mini bus to take us out to it - it was pretty good fun, but nothgin special. I think someone pretty local was also offering Clay pigeon shooting.
Newcastle is alright - but i won't be rushing back.

Go to Eastern Europe. It's cheap, the birds are ridiculously fit, hookers are actually hot (errr allegedly), you can shoot proper guns, while drinking if you want. It's even got some pretty cities too. Did i mention the women?
Newcastle is like a land of hoop earringed, tattood biffas in comparison (or just generally, depending on where you go)

I've stayed here before and the apartments aren't bad, much better than hotel rooms anyway, and a 5-10 minute walk to the quayside.

Catch a Toon game if you can, nothing better than seeing the mags win on a saturday then hitting the town after.

No shortage of places to eat and drink. Haven't got any specific recommendations I'm afraid but somewhere like 'the gate' is a good central place to start there's a tiger tiger right next door.
Shooting, paintballing etc there are places around but as far as i know nothing that central so you'd have to get a taxi out of the city. Might be something decent going on at the Metro Arena tho....quite often different gigs plus ice hockey, basket ball etc. Or go to Sports Soccer St James Park sponsored by Newcastle or whatever it is now, as someone else has suggested.
Why Newcastle? It does seem to be popular with stag do's etc, but i can never understand why. The night life is good but no better than any other similar sized city e.g. Leeds/Manchester/Sheffield/Notting/Liverpool but its f
king freezing so take extra layers.
