Review:
Very large modern bar
that is one of the most lively and impressive in the
Jesmond area.
There are two doors at the front that
lead to the main bar area where you find a long
winding designer wooden bar. The décor is a mixture of
maroon colours with pine furnishings. There is low
drop down lighting over the bar with small
spotlighting built in to the ceiling. There is
plenty of seating throughout with lounge seating in
the centre of the bar with high stools.
The bar has
a wooden floor and there is an assortment of modern
pictures and portraits on the walls. There is a
raised area at the right of the main entrance with
comfortable lounge seating and tables and chairs.
The large windows to the front make the bar bright
and airy by day and in the evening the blinds are
drawn and there is more subdued lighting. To the
left hand side of the bar there is a further small
bar. This area has a mixture of lounge seating and
tables and chairs. Once again there is modern
pictures and mainly pine panelling on the walls.
There is also a cash link machine in the corner.
This leads through to the food bar where meals can
be ordered. This area has been recently extended
with plenty of seating making the pub one of the
largest in Jesmond.
At the rear there is a small
wooden bar with some tables and chairs and small
comfortable booths. There is predominantly old
advertising pictures and private eye covers adorning
the walls.
The décor is also a mixture of maroon colours on the low
ceiling and there is a part tiled and wooden floor.
Over the bar there is cylindrical low drop lighting.
Free internet access is available on the terminals that
are housed in this area.
Regular music is on play at most times. There are
several widescreen TV's throughout the bar which
shows all live sports including live football. Full
air conditioning throughout.
The bar is very lively
at all times and attracts an upmarket clientele. It
is popular with the young crowd, students and is
especially busy on the weekend when the crowd
usually spills out onto the outside seating area.
The bar can be best described as the 'in' place in Jesmond. Disabled access to the main bar is very
good with a designated disabled toilet. Ask for the
key at the bar. The toilets are small and clean.
Outside there is a large seating area with several
tables and chairs with some heated lamps. A bus stop
is conveniently located outside the bar. Private parties catered for - ask at bar. Check out
