Wylam Brewery

What it’s like

A brewery taproom in a converted hall hosting live gigs and events, open from midday at weekends.

This is a working brewery with a taproom set inside a big converted hall, and the gig listings are the reason to go rather than a casual pint. It's an adults-out venue in feel, no age range is given so treat it as one to check for yourself if you're weighing up bringing anyone younger along.

Opening hours shift across the week. Thursday it's 3pm to 10pm, Friday pushes to 11pm, and Saturday opens midday through to 11pm, which gives you a proper afternoon-into-evening stretch if there's a gig on. Sunday is a shorter midday to 7pm slot, more of a lazy-afternoon shape than a night out.

There's no booking link listed, so getting in on a big gig night is something you'd sort out another way. Haymarket Metro is about a 15 minute walk if you're coming in without a car, and the nearest public car park is on Claremont Road, charged 8am to 6pm and free overnight, with blue badge parking free and a pay-by-phone code given as 3658.

If access is a factor, mobility-impaired visitors can arrange advance car access to the venue directly, which is worth sorting ahead of the date you're after rather than turning up and hoping.
