| This is still the best pub in town. It has an extensive beer range, including many beers not found elsewhere in Newcastle and an excellent range of ciders in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere without being pretentious. Popular with all ages including a large contingent of younger drinkers although the only nights to avoid if you want to have a conversation are Wednesdays and Sundays when they have live music. Not much evidence of food other than pickled eggs (highly recomended) and bar snacks. It has a heated outside area which has piped music. Efficient and friendly staff. Good service even when busy. beerwarrior - 26 Apr 2009 16:41 |
| The best ales in Newcastle-Under-Lyme in my opinion. This pub is fantastic no matter when you go there. Nice chilled out atmosphere and some good bands in the evenings that you wouldn't get in other pubs around Stoke-On-Trent. DixieLand - 17 Apr 2007 01:58 |
| Great beers here an eclectic age range of punters. Nice atmosphere, just a bit on the smokey side for the average non smoker. Good pub, just dont stay all night if you love breathing. anonymous - 13 Feb 2007 14:08 |
| Agree with comments about ales - good range and well kept (although many are stronger than i would like). Excellent range of malt whiskys. Can't comment on the rest as i don't drink anything else, but all tastes seem well catered for including decent ciders. The real star of this pub though is the tuesday night jazz club. Forget the word 'jazz'. This year Nigel has put on some of the best music you'll hear anywhere. Something not to be missed. Forget the weekends (Fri, Sat) - now getting too popular and too much like any of the other town pubs. Come on tuesdays! paulym - 19 May 2006 13:04 |
| Pleasant but a bit dull compared to nearby multi-room gems - mixed crowd, good Marstons Monk mtaylor40 - 17 May 2006 00:42 |
