General information: Traditional, comfortable, and cosy - that’s how most people describe the New Bridge. Combine that with a true Tyneside welcome, a bar-full of customers of all ages and from all walks of life, and some of the most hospitable staff in the business and you’re looking at one of the friendliest neighbourhood pubs in the region. The New Bridge is in the heart of Shieldfield in Newcastle and can easily be reached by car via the central motorway, or on foot from the Metro station at Manors. It offers big-screen sports, regular quiz nights, traditional lunchtime pub meals, a cashpoint, and just like most of our other pubs, a genuine commitment to serving the perfect pint of real ale. No wonder it’s a regular in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide!

Love this bar. Used to go there with my girlfriend for many years. Always a good laugh and the beer pretty good too. Food canny as well. A bar where you can have a decent natter, where the music is background entertainment rather than blasting your lugs off. Many happy memories of this bar.

Back in the late 80's/early 90's, this used to be a proper pub; always full of local regulars, especially at weekends. Now I have no idea who it's supposed to cater for - probably the 'suits' and students.

I was in there last Saturday afternoon and the place was empty at midday; it used to be HEAVING! I was informed that 'we don't do food on a Saturday'. The half of Stella I had tasted of line-cleaner and was as flat as a witch's you-know-what.

Yet another example of taking a perfectly good, viable pub, tarting it up, alienating the locals and ending up with an empty pub on a Saturday afternoon. Serves 'em right. Unrecommended.

By the way..the pub next door (used to be Joe Wilsons, another thriving local) was also totally empty and THEY 'don't do food on Saturday' either. I rest my case.

Welcoming pub on the "wrong" side of the A167M which means that you have to make an effort to get here. It's well worth the detour. 4 handpumps serving ever changing guest ales, alcoves with leather seating, friendly bunch on both sides of the bar. We had lunch here, it was only a baguette and chips each but it was served quickly and was good quality, no scrimping on the fillings either. Had a couple of pints of well kept ale, the other half had a couple of glasses of red wine. What's not to like? Go and have a look.

Popped into the New Bridge a few months ago for the 1st time when on an all day session. Was impressed, canny bar serving decent beer. A little out the way but worth popping in if over Manors way. Ill defo be going back!

One of my favourites in Newcastle. Owned by the Sir John Fitzgerald chain of pubs, so you generally know what you're getting. Open-plan, but refurbished very nicely recently in traditional style- dark wood and green leather seating, etc. Always a selection of decent local ales and often free bar snacks. As noted it can get busy butnever overwhelmingly so. It is a good place to watch sport or to pop into after work if you're heading this way.
