| Visited last Sunday for the first time since last year. Had a good range of ales (as usual) but my first pint, Doombar, was strangely tasteless and my second, Deuchars IPA, was so watery I couldn't drink it at all. I drink these beers regularly and know how they should taste, very disappointing. rustifish - 14 Aug 2011 10:23 |
| A pub of two halves. The front bar is truly awful and smells of the toilets that lead off it. The back snug though is a great little place. I would give the food a miss though. Gosforthgirl - 18 Jul 2010 11:58 |
| Popped in on a Friday teatime. Fine if you like being confronted with sweaty hairy crevices the owners of which appeared to be divorced builders all moaning about how much the 'ex-missus was taking them for'. Language was beyond choice and very loud. Distinctly offish bar staff. Got a definite feeling of 'we don't like strangers around these parts' - but the locals appeared to get served easily enough. Very average pint of Fullers London Pride. Pity as the building seems to be a proper old style Pub - gernerally speaking the sort of place I would go out of my way to visit. Won't be going back here for a while though. Thirsty_Jonny - 30 Apr 2010 08:44 |
| The first copies of Viz Comic were sold in this pub, in the room above when they had bands on.1979. Chris Donald had to leg it back to his Mam and Dads house in Jesmond for more, because they'd sold all the copies. That's The Gosforth Hotel's claim to fame. GeorgeXXIII - 28 Dec 2009 23:37 |
| I popped into the back bar on a sunday night with a couple of friends a few weeks ago. It was a quiet evening with about 10 others in the bar. At 10.50pm the barmaid rang last orders. I went up to the bar and stood next to a man who was getting served. When she finished serving him the barmaid left the bar for about a minute. On her return she ignored me and started talking to a group of men. I asked for service and she said she'd called time. She clearly had no intention of serving me. This type of service is terrible and not uncommon according to others I have spoken to recently. Such a shame considering what a great pub it once was. I shall not reurn. mattvinyl - 18 Nov 2009 13:11 |
