Expansive Layout and Modern Design

Soho Jesmond occupies a prime spot on Osborne Road, spread across multiple interconnected areas that make it one of Jesmond's largest bars. The main entrance opens to a long, winding wooden bar counter bathed in low drop lighting and spotlights, surrounded by maroon accents, pine furnishings, and modern artwork on the walls. Wooden floors and large front windows flood the space with natural light during the day, creating a bright, airy feel, while evening hours bring subdued lighting and drawn blinds for a more intimate vibe.

Seating Zones and Social Spaces

Plenty of seating options cater to various group sizes, from central lounge areas with plush sofas to high stools at the bar and raised platforms with tables near the entrance. A side area features a smaller bar with lounge seating, pine paneling, and a cash machine, leading into the dedicated food bar extension. At the rear, cozy wooden booths and a compact bar offer quieter nooks, while outdoors, a spacious sheisha garden provides tables under heated lamps, perfect for extending evenings into the night.

Food and Drink Offerings

The venue serves British pub classics including burgers, chicken, fries, fish, steaks, and ice cream, with standout items like the Brack Burger. Drinks are reasonably priced, especially for students flashing ID on deals like discounted Tuesdays, complemented by a selection of cocktails, beers, and spirits. The food bar area accommodates meals amid the lively surroundings, blending casual dining with bar energy.

Entertainment and Events Rhythm

Live sports dominate multiple widescreen TVs, broadcasting Premier League football, Six Nations rugby, and more, drawing fans throughout the week. Music plays regularly, with busker nights hosted by Jake Houlsby every Wednesday from 7pm and quiz sessions on Sundays starting at 7:30pm. The soundtrack shifts to dance tunes on busier nights, fueling the energetic atmosphere that defines this Jesmond staple.

Jesmond's Lively Heartbeat

Formerly Osbornes and linked to the New Northumbria Hotel, Soho Jesmond pulses as the 'in' place for Jesmond's young professionals, students, and weekend revelers. Its upmarket yet approachable vibe, full air conditioning, clean facilities including a disabled toilet, and convenient bus stop outside make it a go-to for spontaneous gatherings or planned nights out. The bar's scale and consistent buzz position it as a cornerstone of local nightlife.
