The 20 Best Pubs in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear

Fresh reviews:

The Bridge Tavern is located under the Tyne Bridge on the way down towards the Quayside.Recently refurbished, in 2015, the interior is very tasteful, a mix of exposed brickwork, wood, and books! The atmosphere is very cosy and relaxed.There is a large range of real ales on tap, and great emphasis is placed on…

The Bridge Tavern

If The Earl of Pitt Street keeps it up, it may surpass the Broad Chare as my favorite gastropub. Or at least tie for first. We had a lush meal with friends here on Saturday night.

The Earl of Pitt Street

Great pub located by the Tyne. Good pub to go to for a quiet drink and a chat. Pleasant décor, relaxed atmosphere, and never too busy. Good pub grub is served here, and there is also an excellent terrace overlooking the river.

Screens available for sport, but no food sold.Worth a visit.

Rosies Bar

My visit to the Crown Posada was a brief one, and perhaps not the best first impression for a pub.Yet another stop on my ale-powered tour of Newcastle, the Crown Posada is actually a nice pub — stained glass windows, a cracking selection of ales, and full of character.Or should that be characters. Our stop at…
