Good range of well kept beers suiting all tastes and all served in best condition. For those wanting food there's a comprehensive menu of wholesome food. There were four of us and we all had something different. Not one complaint, and the fat chips were excellent.

Upstairs is a venue for live music which appears to be very popular. All in all a very good pub which I'll return to when next in the area.

Good ale pub with decent selection of brews. Worth a visit.

Nice wedge-shaped pub located to the north of Gateshead town centre. It's part of the Head of Steam group and has a good selection of ales and ciders. On my early Wednesday evening visit, they had Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted, Sharps Doom Bar, Sonnet 43 Blonde, Titanic Plum Porter & Cappuccino, Tiny Rebel Billabong & Riverhead Leggers Light. Ciders and perries were Westons Cider Twist Mulled Cider, Old Rosie, Wyld Wood, Traditional Scrumpy, Bounds Brand, 1st Quality & Country Perry, Old Monty Traditional & Rich's Farmhouse. The interior is very nice and service is good and knowledgeable. Seemingly the best pub in Gateshead.

Not a bad bar at all. Good place to start before heading over to the Bridge Hotel then down to the quayside. Head of Steam have spent a fair bit of wedge doing it up. Seems to have a friendly atmosphere and decent beer. Enjoyed the times I have visited it.

Now reopened. A distinctive wedge-shaped pub at the Gateshead end of the High Level Bridge, a short walk from Newcastle and the Bridge pub.
It features on CAMRA's National Inventory of Pub Interiors but was always a dive, my only previous visit 6 years ago being memorable for the wrong reasons.
Now taken over by Head of Steam, it's looking up.
2 rooms are open and the flaky paint has been removed so the original sandstone exterior can be appreciated.
A bar room and a lounge are open at present, both at the thin end of the wedge, so to speak. The bar has an impressive dark wood and mirror back, and all furnishings are traditional. A few contemporary things have been added, such as chandeliers, and one wonders if the NI listing will be downgraded, although it still has a great deal of architectural note.
Still a work in progress (especially the toilets!), but the rest of the pub will be opening in December, and hopefully no traditional features will be lost.
Looking good beer-wise, with bottled beers and real cider featuring alongside Prince Bishop Sunny Daze, Wylam Gold Tankard, Hopback and Cumberland Ales' Corby Ale. All tried were excellent.
Looking up and good to see such a grand pub back on its feet. I heartily recommend a visit.
