An industrial-chic creative community space in Newcastle that’s offered up A Pint of Science three years running. With a gigantic concrete bar in the centre, The Edwards food + drink offerings are *chef kissy fingers*. Share plates, burgers, bar grub, and more can be washed down with a wide array of beer, wine, cider and cocktails.

Doors open at 6pm, and the event kicks off at 6.30pm - but feel free to have a drink or nibble in the main restaurant if you get there early.
