Bridge Hotel
Castle Garth
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 1RQ
Tel: 0191 232 6400
The Bridge Hotel is situated at the end of the High Level Bridge and opposite the castle in Newcastle city centre. A traditional pub in every sense, the Bridge Hotel retains many of its original elegant features, and offers an excellent selection of fine cask ales – many of which are from the region’s smaller breweries.
Crown Posada
The Side
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 3JE
Tel: 0191 232 1269
Situated in the city’s vibrant Quayside, the Crown Posada has a striking and grandiose frontage, and venturing inside is like taking a journey back in time. The Posada’s handsome interior has been well preserved, with magnificent ceilings and cosy little rooms adding to the unique atmosphere. There is an excellent range of cask ales on offer, with a good representation of small local breweries.
Cumberland Arms
Byker Buildings
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE6 1LD
Tel: 0191 265 6151
Slightly out of the city centre, but an invigorating walk along the Quayside and up to the Ouseburn Valley area is a journey of discovery, with some excellent real ale pubs to be found. The Cumberland Arms is one such pub; traditional and friendly, and dating back to the 1850s, this is a gem of a pub with an excellent selection of cask-conditioned ales and regular live music, comedy and poetry nights.
The Cluny
Lime Street
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 2PQ
Tel: 0191 230 4474
Another of the pubs in the real ale paradise that is the Ouseburn Valley, the Cluny is a friendly and welcoming pub with a well-established reputation for the quality of its cask ales and an excellent selection of bar meals served throughout the day. The Cluny is also a popular venue for live music.
The Forth Hotel
Pink Lane
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 5DW
Tel: 0191 232 6478
The Forth Hotel enjoys a central location in Newcastle city centre, and has become a favourite over the years for its unique character and style. There is usually a somewhat eclectic mix of clientele in the Forth – usually a good sign in any pub – and it can get very busy. The cask ales and bottled lagers on offer are very good, and there is also a selection of bar meals available.
Free Trade Inn
St Lawrence Road
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE6 1AP
Tel: 0191 265 5764
Rounding off our selection of pubs in the Ouseburn Valley, the Free Trade is perhaps our favourite of the lot. The brisk climb up the hill should certainly give you an appetite for a pint, and you won’t be disappointed in this respect – the Free Trade has an excellent selection of cask ales, many of which are from the North East’s smaller breweries. You can also enjoy the superb views of the river and the eclectic sounds emanating from the free jukebox.
Head of Steam
Neville Street
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 5EN
Tel: 0191 232 4379
From its location opposite Newcastle Central Station, the appropriately named Head of Steam has been a popular venue for a good mix of age groups and tastes for years. Not only are there excellent real ales to try out, but also the lively and bustling atmosphere and frequent live music nights add to the appeal of this pub.
Pitcher and Piano
The Quayside
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 3DX
Tel: 0191 232 4110
We’ve hesitated to mention any of Newcastle’s modern Quayside bars, because if vibrant and lively venues are your cup of tea then you’re certain to stumble across plenty of them in this rejuvenated and pulsating part of town. The Pitcher and Piano however is probably our pick of the Quayside crop; situated at the north end of the amazing Millennium ‘Blinking Eye’ Bridge, this is a modern building with a funky interior. Exceptionally popular, and becoming packed at the weekends, the Pitcher and Piano is the place in which to be seen.
The Bodega
Westgate Road
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 4AG
Tel: 0191 221 1552
One of our favourite Newcastle pubs, and for a good reason; the Bodega is a handsome and characterful pub with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Traditional pub interior and a very good choice of ales, bottled lagers and bar meals make the Bodega stand out among the ‘samey’ chain pubs that afflict our city centres these days.
The Hotspur
Percy Street
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE1 7RY
Tel: 0191 232 4352
The Hotspur is one of the highlights of the city centre real ale scene, and has the friendly feel of a traditional pub. A solid menu of hearty pub meals and a good selection of well-kept cask ales make this a popular pub with locals, students and tourists alike, and can get very busy on matchdays due to its proximity to St James’ Park.
The Tyne
Maling Street
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
NE6 1LP
Tel: 0191 265 2550
Situated just a short stroll along the Quayside from the Millennium Bridge in the Ouseburn Valley, the Tyne is another real gem of a pub – definitely worth the effort of visiting. In addition to the well-kept real ales and friendly atmosphere, the Tyne is notable for its regular and very popular live music nights, with blues and roots music featuring heavily.
Tilleys Bar
Westgate Road
Newcastle-upon Tyne
NE1 4AG
Tel: 0191 232 0692
If you find yourself on Westgate Road looking for a traditional pub serving a dazzling array of cask ales and bottled beers and lagers, then Tilleys Bar is definitely worth a visit. Excellent choice of drinks and some tasty food; Tilleys Bar was refurbished in Summer 2005 and has not lost its traditional charm or friendly atmosphere, although the range of Jennings ales is now slightly diminished.
