| Old-fashioned, a bit grungy and not afraid to be uncool - so my kind of place! Good beer, free coffee refills, impromptu live music sessions, a nice little upstairs venue. I would say something like 'could do with a lick of paint', but too many pubs in Newcastle have ruined themselves in the past few years by doing just that. Stay as you are, Cumberland Arms!

| got the chance to drop in to this wonderful pub when in Newcastle recently, brilliant range of well kept ales, live music, friendly atmos - pubs don't come any better than this. worth moving house, changing jobs and kids schools etc to have it as your local. rustifish - 14 Aug 2011 10:37 |
| Oh my golly gosh! What a pub. What a selection. Six ciders, ten ales - all off the wall ones. This pub is amazing. Absolute top marks. The question remains - how the hell am I going to get from the Durham countryside to Byker every other week? Get a taxi, walk it, go on the bus - I'll just get out to this pub, it's awesome. Not seen one in the North East better than this. OldhamSheridan - 13 Mar 2011 10:55 |
| Despite living in Newcastle for just over 10 years thgis is the first time I've set foot in this pub (stood outside once waiting for my wife) and it is wonderful. It had the best pint of stout I've ever had. They were in the middle of a power cut which just seemed perfect. I turned up in a luminous running jacket splattered with mud and nobody seemed to notice. Find it and have a nice time, that's all there is to it. Ethansdad - 23 Jan 2011 22:07 |
| The third of fifteen pubs I was planning to try in Newcastle on Saturday. Seeing the 8 ciders on offer, I knew straight away I wouldn't finish the 15! This is a great little pub tucked away off the main roads, next to a small area of parkland. The two rooms are small, but characterful. Only one has the bar, whilst the other has a serving hatch. 6 real ales were available - Rudgate Hop Monkey & Thunder God, Jarrow JB, Durham Hopping Mad, Wentworth Liquorice Stout and Hadrian & Border Secret Kingdom. The 8 ciders were Hewetts Cider, Legbender Farmhouse, Nash Vintage Oak, Ostlers Vintage Scrumpy, Toshers Tipple, Newtons Vintage '07 Scrumpy, Sheppeys Farmhouse and Holders Whisky Cask Perry. The bare wooden floors and exposed brickwork lend an old fashioned look. Service was friendly, with the bar staff being very knowledgeable of their products. Most customers appeared to be students. Although there were also a few locals. Going through all of the ciders meant we saw the bar gradually fill up throughout the afternoon, with many spilling onto the outdoor tables. A thoroughly enjoyable pub, to which I will return sooner rather than later. blue_scrumpy - 11 Oct 2010 17:24 |
