Crown Posada, Newcastle

It's without doubt one of the very best pubs in the UK, let alone Newcastle and really just needs to be experienced.

Time seems to stand still in this pub like no other, it could be 1960 or 1860 in there, it's completely unique.

The beer, the setting and even the music played out of an old gramophone player are outstanding.

The only potential downside can be it's popularity and size, it's fairly snug. For that reason, for a first timer I'd recommend trying it during the day.

The Tyne, Newcastle

Meh, not what is was or maybe everyone has caught on and started doing it better, who knows? The american bar theme that's going on looks tired and dated.

Saying that the location is excellent and it's lovely on a Summers day meeting up with friends drinking under those massive arches.

However the beer, tunes and ambiance are being done better elsewhere, in fact I can think of three better bars not even 5 minutes walk from this one.
