A Day-By-Day Guide to Newcastle: Monday

Want to get out of the office for a cheap feed? Well convince your boss to take lunch and head down to the Brewery on the Harbour for $10 meals in 15 minutes! Happening every lunch from Monday-Friday, bookings of 10 or more can head down and enjoy a cheap meal overlooking one of Newcastle's best assets. There's a variety of tantalising meals available so everyone is sure to find something they like, and the best thing - if it takes more than 15 minutes, you receive a free drink! For an after-work special, Monday nights at the Brewery let's kids (under 12 years) eat for free after 6pm!

Fancy yourself a bit of a star? Contemplating entering the next installment of Australian Idol? Or maybe you're just a people watcher? Head down to The Kent Hotel in Beaumont Street tonight for karaoke kicking off at 9pm! Every Monday night at The Kent showcases the hits (and misses) of Newcastle entertainment and you will no doubt hear all the karaoke classics (I Will Survive anyone?). The restaurant out the back also has everyday specials of $7.70 steaks and the Monday night special of $12.95 fish and chips.

Every Monday and Tuesday night, it's worth heading down Darby Street and to the Del for good ol' schnitty night! For a measly $9.90 you can pick up a classic chicken schnitzel and enjoy amongst the newly refurbished Hotel Delany.

On Monday nights, The Clarendon Hotel hosts its official Craft Beer Night! With a Clarendon Beer Passport, you can treat yourself to the extensive range of Craft Beers available with $1 off every beer. Located in the heart of Newcastle, the spacious beer garden provides you with a great spot to spend your Monday evening. If you're feeling indulgent, splurge on a cocktail creation from the talented bartenders.

Located on the boardwalk precinct of the beautiful Honeysuckle, Isobar is has become a staple in Newcastle's waterfront bar scene. And we just found another reason to love it, $10 tapas all day (and night) every Monday and Tuesday!

With two locations overlooking the best parts of Newcastle and its surrounds, Blue Water Pizza is a great place to enjoy a meal with a view. With a choice of visiting in either Newcastle's Foreshore, or out near Lake Macquarie, there's not many better places around for gourmet pizzas. For those with a budget in mind, make the most of Mondays where all gourmet pizzas are just under $16.

The best night to give Mucho's a shot is Mondays, when all meals on the Combinations menu are just $10.90 each! Be sure to make a reservation though, because much of the rest of Newcastle is trying to get their Mexican fix too.
