This is a fine old-bare boards place with a brilliant view and good selection of beer. There is a small 'library' of books in the corner and live music is hosted regularly. The clientele ranges from older regulars to wannabe-Bohemian posers, inevitable given the 'gentrification' of the Ouseburn i suppose.

We were in this pub in March 2007.Great pint of Rapper and brilliant atmosphere.When we were there the local ukulele group had a jam session which seemed natural and added to our enjoyment of this excellent pub.

Do pubs get any better than this? Not in this lifetime I reckon. Great selection of real ales, friendly atmosphere, lots of activities going on without ever being 'in your face', the sandwiches served at the bar are tasty, substantial and great value with lots of veggie options. There's also a beer patio with views over the Tyne. The only thing wrong with this pub is that it isn't at the end of my street.

Gorgeous, in fantastic location at the top of a hill overlooking industrial area. Very few comparative pubs spring to mind, with its balance of peace and lively custom. Great beer.

This is unique, and please lord don't let it ever be knocked down to make way for "luxury" apartments. When I was last there with Redshot there was a terminally ill man who had been given permission to bash at the piano. He was grateful. When he paused the loud ticking of a loud clock could be heard. I'm not sure, but I think time actually goes backwards here, and that means you can stay as long as you want. And then go to The Tyne for a toastie.
