Used to love this place but has really went down hill. The toasties used to be class but were poor last few times I have been in and the barman who served me the last time couldnt of cracked a smile if his life depended on it. A really pity cos it used to a cracking little bar.

Went here for my mates wedding. I was best man. 1st time I had been here, was ok but bit pricey. Not a bar I would normally bother with but was a decent venue for the wedding.
24 Jun 2011 11:22
This bar is the one ticket office for central station. Small bar which I dont mind for couple. Doormen can be tossers at times.
11 Dec 2010 12:20
I like The Tyne. Good during the summer and always seems busy. Not bad at all.
21 Dec 2009 13:12
Had a few oint in here last week before the match. Canny little bar, friendly staff and a decent pint. Not far from the train station. Just a pity Newcastle got beat.
29 Oct 2009 13:11

Canny little boozer. Not bad at all for a couple when waiting to catch the train.
1 Oct 2009 12:55

17 Sep 2009 11:40

5 Aug 2009 11:25
Cocker-the -rocker bar. Dont really bother with the place. Ok if you like slayer and Slipknot i suppose. needs a good clean too.
29 Jul 2009 10:05
The Pitcher and Piano, Newcastle
Never had any time for this place. Ok good location but thats about it. Feels really dated now too, stinks of the 90s. Expensive and full of 'look at me' tossers!
29 Jul 2009 10:02
I do like the Cluny. Great selection of beers and food is canny too. Good sitting outside in the sun having a few wets. Ouseburn is defo becoming a canny place to go on the pop nowadays.
28 Jul 2009 17:43
I get away with the odd one in Gotham. Never changed since the day it opened.
28 Jul 2009 17:36
Who drinks in the Bigg Market anymore? Hen and stag parties and chavers. City Vaults is full of both. Over-priced beer as expected makes this a no-go. Avoid!
28 Jul 2009 17:34
Exactly like The Attic and Living Room bars in town ie crap. Wouldnt bother at all with any of them. Avoid!
28 Jul 2009 11:51

24 Jul 2009 16:57
This place is depressing. Full of jobless mackems spending their dole money. Avoid!
24 Jul 2009 16:55
Never been in this place in my life. Was passing by the other friday afternoon and thought id have a quick pint. The place is tiny and falling to bits. Feels like it was 1989 not 2009 inside. Granted the pint was ok and cheap. I was the only person the bar. Well least i can say i have been. Now to try the delights of the Central Bar opposite some time.
24 Jul 2009 16:52
I dont mind the odd one in The Star. Bit of a dive like but its bearable for one or two.
24 Jul 2009 13:02
Never changed much at all. Always seems to be busy. To be honest i quite like Offshore.
24 Jul 2009 12:58
This place has been called The Charles Grey for a while now. Nowt much has changed. Its was crap when it was Eldons and FM's too. Normally just full of shoppers and offcie workers. Place could do with a good clean. Great location but the beer is still poor and has no atmosphere. Could never get away with this place. Poor!
24 Jul 2009 12:36
Good to See Rosies Bar on the site. Must say Rosies if one of my fav bars in the town. Never changed much at all in all the years ive been drinking in town. Aways busy no matter what time of day. Ok some times the beer could be kept better but it has good atmoshpere and has something about the place which i like. Forget trying to get in during match days as totally rammed like. I hope Rosies never changes. A good proper geordie bar just down the road from the home of football.
24 Jul 2009 08:35
For a station bar i suppose its ok. Lovely room but itis expensive. Its not bad for a couple.
24 Jul 2009 08:21
Always busy no matter what time of day. Dont mind the odd pint in the Beehive for a change now and again. Proper geordie bar which will never change.
24 Jul 2009 08:18
What a sh*thole. Really dark inside and full of charvers. Beer was rank. Avoid at all costs.
24 Jul 2009 08:09
The Head of Steam, Huddersfield

24 Jul 2009 08:03
The Cotton Factory, Huddersfield
Not bad at all. Decent pint and food was canny too. Best bar i went to in Huddersfield.

24 Jul 2009 07:58
Its got a certain charm about it. Ok for a couple of pints when kicking about ouseburn way. Not a bad little boozer at all.
13 May 2009 12:26
This a cracking little bar. Sit outside and admire the view on a sunny day Good beer and staff were spon-on. Must say ill be visiting a lot more from now. Class bar!
13 May 2009 12:22

15 Apr 2009 17:31
The Akenside Traders, Newcastle
Always busy for some reason and normally full of hen and stag parties. Never changed much for as long as ive drank down the quay. Staff always seem full of happiness when serving. I think i saw one smile about 5 years ago. Bar that i never really bother with. Maybe ok for a quick one but in all canny poor!
12 Jan 2009 16:36
The Black Bull, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Lovely old bar where you always get a decent pint! Bit on the small side but defo a good bar!
5 Jan 2009 12:55

The Fernhurst and Star Lodge, Blackburn

9 Dec 2008 16:51
Place stinks of the nineties. Full of stag and hen parties. Never changed much in all the time its been open. For charvers and 50 yr old women on the pull. Like Sam Jacks but on the quay. Avoid at all costs.
8 Dec 2008 16:57
Prob the only half-decent pub in Gateshead town centre. Still i wouldnt make much of that statement. Used to work in Gateshead so this was the safest place to go. Still canny rough. Food used to take forever and the beer was nowt special.
8 Dec 2008 16:54
Popped in last thursday for a pint and something to eat. Large bar which i expect gets very busy at weekends. Was still quite busy in the afternoon when i visited. Beer was ok and the food was excellent.
8 Dec 2008 16:45
Normally pop in the Abbotsford when in Edinburgh. I do like the island bar and the place has a canny atmosphere too. Beer was ok as well. Not a bad little bar at all!
8 Dec 2008 16:28
As a geordie i think you got to have a soft spot for the Berry as its next to the home of football. Canny bar which i normally pop in when on all day session. Not bad at all.
26 Nov 2008 13:22
Only been in a couple of times and wasnt very busy. As a cocktail bar you dont get much beer. Fair play i had a nice Duvel and the toilets are canny smart. Seems to be for older women and office workers. Not a place i would bother with to be honest.
25 Nov 2008 13:51
The Three Bulls Heads, Newcastle
Used to drink in here all the time when younger. Went downhill over the years. Ok for a couple i suppose for a change when up the Haymarket but its canny rough now!
25 Nov 2008 13:45
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!
25 Nov 2008 13:36
Yeah dont mind The Hotspur for a couple. Normally go through the day when on an all day session. Aye is ok!
25 Nov 2008 12:59
Always quite liked the Blackie Boy! Has been done out now, mainly used for people trying to get throught the alley to Perdu. God know why, Perdu is awful. Think its trying to go upmarket? Prefer it the way it used to be. Least its still got 'dick' and 'fanny'on the toilet doors.
25 Nov 2008 12:39
Ok for a couple after work sometimes after work. Food is ok and staff are fine.
25 Nov 2008 12:32
Always pop in here when in Edinburgh. Always good atmoshpere and staff are friendly. Canny little bar!
25 Nov 2008 12:21
As my mate lives right next to the Angel its become my sort of local when visiting Leeds. Good sized bar which always seems busy, canny pint and the foods decent too. Serve snakebite too which is a plus. Always cheers me up after returning from watching Newcastle Utd get beat away as usual!
11 Nov 2008 13:02
Always pop in the The Oak when out in Headingley. Good crack sitting outside having a few pints in the sun in the beer garden. Canny bar!

11 Nov 2008 12:50
Rough and full of football hooligans. Ok for a couple and and again.
11 Nov 2008 12:44
I think pablos13 has summed The Newcastle Arms very well in his review. Canny bar, with character, serving good ale to a decent crowd of drinkers.
4 Nov 2008 13:58
O'Neills is so-so. Dont mind the odd pint in there. Normally 1st port of call for hen and stag dos off the train. So can be full of dickheads on a weekend. Not that keen on the staff, as always feels like their doing you a favour by serving you drink. Ok for a couple but plenty better bars round central.
4 Nov 2008 13:49
Fitzgeralds Newcastle, Newcastle
Never changed much at all since ive been drinking in the town. Ok for a couple maybe for a change but nowt much really going for it. Normally full of older women and office workers.
4 Nov 2008 13:35
The Duke of Wellington, Newcastle
I quite like the place. Decent pint and staff are sound. Normally quite busy with a canny atmosphere.
2 Oct 2008 16:39
Cant really say much good about a bog standard chain bar in a shopping centre apart from it been more souless than a normal spoons bar! Pubs in the Metrocentre? whats the point
30 Sep 2008 13:44
One of these bars most bars that people just dont know about in town. Prob a good thing too. Been in a few times during the day and the place was dead. Couple of office workers and that was it. Suppose it might get busy on with with being opp World Headquarters??? Bit like SAFC, totally pointless!
30 Sep 2008 13:35
Charver central. Should be renamed Mushroom Bar at the Gate. Awful in every way from the punters to the over-priced p*sswater beer. Only purpose it serves is that it and the Gate keeps the idiots, charvers and tomorrows prisoners away from the decent bars. Avoid at all costs!
30 Sep 2008 13:23
Always heaving on a weekend, god knows why???? Yeah lovely old building but expensive and full of w**kers. Have to fight to get to the bar then wait for 10 mins as the bloke next to you orders a stupid cocktail. Run of the mill chain bar in a nice building which happens to be a good location. Poor!
30 Sep 2008 13:17
Dont mind the odd pint in The Percy. Normally full of regulars through the day spending their benefits but its ok. Normally get a decent pint!
30 Sep 2008 13:12
The Fluid Bar and Kitchen, Newcastle
Normally pop in a couple when on all day sessions. Ok to have a few pints through the day. Always seems to busy and get an ok pint. Wouldn't bother on a matchday but as its heaving.
29 Sep 2008 12:11
Good bar. Class sitting outside in the sun next to the river having a few bottles of Sam Smith lager. Always pop in when visiting york!
24 Sep 2008 13:39
Spent many a new year in here totally creased! Always very busy with tourists and the posh rugby kids when i pop in for a pint. Defo one of the bars i always visit when in Edinburgh.
24 Sep 2008 13:31
Always enjoy having a couple in the Alum. Prob my fav bar in sand dancer land. Lovely old bar located away from the wild west that is the town centre. Good atmoshpere and decent beer!
24 Sep 2008 13:27
Souless and depressing. Full of old blokes enjoying the cheap booze. Now wonder the working mens clubs are on the way out! Poor atmosphere and slow service.
24 Sep 2008 13:23
Fitzgeralds Whitley Bay, Whitley Bay
Visited recently on a thursday afternoon. Had a canny pint and food was excellent. Bar staff were very friendly. Ill be coming back!
24 Sep 2008 13:20
The Hole in the Wall, Darlington
Seemed ok when I had a quick pint when in Darlo recently. Seemed like it gets busy at dinner times with the local officer workers.
24 Sep 2008 13:15
My fav pub is Durham. Spent many a happy day attempting the 'Dun Cow Challenge' in my tax-dodging days many years ago. Great little pub in a quiet part of town. Always pop in for a couple when visting Durham. A top bar!
24 Sep 2008 13:12
I quite like The City. One of the better bars in Durham. Always had a decent pint and staff have laways been canny.
24 Sep 2008 13:09
The Swan and Three Cygnets, Durham
Canny location but never feel welcome here. Ok for a couple of swift pints in the good weather. Nowt special!
24 Sep 2008 13:05
My normal pre-match bar. Good, decent bar which serves canny beer. Yeah a good bar!
24 Sep 2008 10:16
Never ever liked this place. Always found it rough and full of w**kers! Its Dark, your feet get stuck to the floor and its full of ugly women with sugarpuff teeth. Bit like Bar 42 but on the quay! That should put off anyone else from going in! Awful!
23 Sep 2008 19:19
Ok i suppose for a couple when its hot and can sit outside. Could do with a clean to be honest. Normally full of muppets on stag do's or hen parties which desend on the town every weekend it seems now from every shithole in Britain. Nowt special.
23 Sep 2008 19:15
Like drinking in a leisure centre. Still looks the same as the day it opened. Nothing much going for it. Always seems to be full of older women before they go to Sgt Peppers. Best just to stay clear of the place.
23 Sep 2008 19:10
Not much of an atmosphere and the most disinterested, unfriendly staff in the town! Poor!
23 Sep 2008 18:57
One of the better bars down the quay. Nice little boozer with a good atmosphere.
22 Sep 2008 14:11
Full of dolies, old men and charvers. Suppose because its dirt cheap. Its like the Clock bar has been transported to High Bridge Street. Avoid!
22 Sep 2008 13:40
Always busy, no matter what time of day. Cheap i suppose. Lovely building but totally souless. Typical spoons bar. Nowt special.
22 Sep 2008 13:33
Dont mind having a few in the Old George, ok for watching the footie. On the down side its is expensive and has gone the way of Fleet Street ie full of 'mature ladies' on the pull.
22 Sep 2008 13:29
Keel Row Lloyds No 1, Newcastle
Like drinking in the metrocentre. No idea why this place is always busy? Awful.
22 Sep 2008 13:23
The Goose at the Gardens, Newcastle
Well is cheap i'll give it that. Got nothing else going it. Toilets are worse than the Head of Steam and thats saying something. Ok for a quick pint maybe before the match but thats it.
22 Sep 2008 13:19
Cant get away with this place. Full of w**kers who think because they pay �4 a pint their better then everyone else. Very expensive and pretentious. Avoid!
22 Sep 2008 13:15
Not the same since they did it out a few years back. Was much better the way it used to be. Pity, was a canny bar back then. Been in a couple of times and not much atmoshpere and quite expensive.
22 Sep 2008 13:12
Even though the place smells funny, the staff are unfriendly and the toilets a disgrace i dont mind The Head of Steam. When its busy the atmoshpere is good and has a decent selection of lager.
21 Sep 2008 11:57
Drink in the Forth a lot! Better now there is a terrace upstairs to kick out a snout! Normally a decent pint. Serves Red Strip on draft which can only be good. Bit expensive and can be a pain in the arse getting served as always busy. Enjoy watching the antics of the various drunks, drug-addicts and charvers who walk up and down Pink Lane. Yeah the Forth is a good bar!
21 Sep 2008 11:45
Hardly changed over the years and thats what i like about it. Serves cans of Red Stripe and the best toasties in the world. Good, relaxed atmoshpere and canny staff. Can sit for hours getting creased in The Trent. One of the best bars in the toon!
21 Sep 2008 11:38
I do like Tillys but sometimes the service can be slow and a bit unfriendly. Serve a wide range of beers from all over. I do find Tillys a tad expensive mind. As a whole tillys is a canny bar. Always seems to be quite busy and has a friendly atmoshpere.
21 Sep 2008 11:33
Waterline is defo one of the better pubs down the Quay. Normally pop in a few on the weekend. For food itis class. Serve great grub. Normally get decent pint and staff always friendly!
21 Sep 2008 11:28
I like the The Telegraph. Tucked out of the way, good to pop in for a few after work. Always get a really good pint here. Good rooftop terrace to enjoy a few beers in the summer and the staff always friendly.
21 Sep 2008 11:25
I dont mind the Monkey Bar. Always had a good pint and can watch the footie. Yeah its ok.
21 Sep 2008 11:19
Northumberland Arms, Newcastle
A strange bar that to be honest people only know about because its handy to pop in for a slash when out shopping in town. Only ever seems full of OAP's having their lunchs. Had a quick pint in their once and felt like I had aged 10 years. God knows how this place has stayed open for so long.
21 Sep 2008 11:16
What happened? Used to drink in the Printers Pie many years ago. Least it was half-decent. Now is just wrong! Anyone anyone male or female under the age of 30 who should be so stupid to enter this place will have to fight off the 50 year old divorcees off with a largestick. Avoid!
21 Sep 2008 11:08
Possibly my fav pub in Newcastle. A proper bar. Normally a canny pint and good boozer. Pity more bars aren't like The Bridge instead of the souless, identi-kit pubs opening all over the place. Has the best beer garden in the toon. Cant beat sitting in the terrace at the back in the summer having a pint and admiring its great view of Tyne, makes you proud to be a geordie. Class!
21 Sep 2008 10:59
The Five Swans, Newcastle upon Tyne
Ok bar to start with if drinking round Haymarket area of toon. Esp good in the summer when you can sit outside. Normally full of students and office workers. Plastic glasses is a pain but generally an ok bar to start a days drinking in!
21 Sep 2008 10:50
The Central Hotel, 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.
