Rusty's Newcastle

Rusty's is one of Newcastle's best-loved LGBTQ+ cabaret and drag venues, relaunched in 2024 at the International Centre for Life in Times Square, in the heart of the Pink Triangle. The showbar runs regular drag performances, bingo and party nights - its long-running "Bottomless Drag Bonanza" is a weekend fixture - alongside DJ sets that keep the room going late on Fridays and Saturdays. It draws a lively, mixed crowd of locals and visitors and sits within a couple of minutes' walk of the rest of Newcastle's gay village.
