General information: You’ll find the Bacchus in the heart of Newcastle city centre, where it was recently refurbished with a subtle grand ocean liner theme. Its walls are now lined with black and white images that affectionately look back to Tyneside’s ship building past, and it’s a fantastic place to learn about the history of one of the region’s biggest industries. It’s also a great place to stop off before or after a visit to the Theatre Royal which is on a neighbouring street, and it’s close to Monument Metro station and many other popular entertainment venues, too. Visit during the day, and you can take advantage of a varied and high-quality menu that includes snacks and quick lunches, and which perfectly complements the pub’s wide selection of cask ales, fantastic choice of microbrewery beers, and extensive wine list. And with a regular listing in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, it’s easy to understand why this is one of the city’s most popular pubs.

A refurbished look gives it a kind of modern bar feel but it is still a decent place for a pint. The Jarrow Rivet Catcher was top notch.

Much agreement to the fact of not many recognised ale in this pub, however, enjoyable atmosphere and folk a-like. Shall revisit on my next visit up to something more north than Watford.

Taken here by a local as it is the winner of camra awards. Bewildering choice of beers - none of them that I recognised. Allowed a sample and made the correct choice. You could lose yourself in here.

One of the best pints of my life here. Beer is exactly as is should be.

The Wetherspoon/wine bar atmosphere may not have been to my liking, but I'd go anywhere to drink beer this good.
