Where can I watch Six Nations? Best sports bars in Newcastle to see the rugby, according to Google reviews

The Six Nations is back for its 2023 edition, keeping rugby fans on the edge of their seats over the next five weekends from today (February 4) until March 18. Unless you’re lucky enough to be watching inside one of the six host stadiums, the next best thing is the atmosphere at a packed-out pub or sports bar.

The six sides aiming for grand slam glory by the end of March remain the same. England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Italy and France will play matches over the coming weeks.

There are dozens of cool venues dotted in and around Newcastle showing the tournament, many of which boast fun activities if you’re feeling competitive as well as hearty food and drink options to tide you over, too.
