What to look at on the map

For a bar, the location factors that matter most are different from a generic retail store. When you scan Newcastle upon Tyne on the interactive map, focus on these:

  • 🌃Evening / nightlife activity

    Cluster with other nightlife creates a "going-out destination".

  • 🚉Public transit

  • 🤝Complementary businesses

    Nearby restaurants = pre-bar dinner crowd flows in.

  • ⚔️Direct competitors (1km)
