With speakeasy-style pubs becoming increasingly popular, a new guide released this week claims to identity 'the best hidden and secret bars In the UK'.
Online retailer The Bottle Club has ranked pubs on grounds of secrecy and creativity - in terms of disguised entrances - as well as cocktail range, cost and Google ratings.
London came out tops in the rankings while its top 10 list featured a number of cities including Edinburgh and Dublin as well as Manchester, Liverpool and York - but not once does Newcastle have a mention.
Not a single pub in the city makes the list so why not?
Newcastle is not without its speakeasies and secret boozers - so secret and well-hidden perhaps that they simply haven't been noticed.
To make up for the oversight, we have picked out our own top 10 hidden gems that are worth tracking down if you haven't tried them. Here's where the guide has missed - and it includes one hideaway which has just been named one of the top cocktail bars in the UK.
