About Say When

Say When is a welcome addition to Gosforth's evening scene — a stylish wine bar and cocktail lounge that brings a touch of city-centre sophistication to the High Street. The wine list is thoughtfully curated with options by the glass and bottle, alongside well-crafted cocktails and a small selection of craft beers. The food menu focuses on sharing boards, charcuterie, cheese, and small plates designed to complement the drinks. The interior is contemporary and intimate, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. A lovely spot for a relaxed evening with friends or a date night without heading into town.
