Review:
Newcastle United
theme pubwith football
memorabilia from the club on display throughout. The
pub has two main entrances to the front and side
with a long bar and a wooden floor. There is plenty
of seating with wooden tables and chairs, and more
comfortable lounge seating around the window. There
is also ample standing space.
The
decor is a mixture of orange and olive colours with
wooden panelling on the walls and wooden beams to
the ceiling.
There is smart lantern drop down
lighting over the bar. An assortment of football antiquities
and Newcastle Brown bottles are strewn about the place. There are
several TV's on show located at the entrance and
next to the bar.
Live sports are shown with all live
football and six nations rugby featured. A large 42
inch plasma screen has recently been installed to
give even better viewing of live games. Regular
music is on play at most times with a juke box
located to the left hand side of the bar. Several
games machines are also on display. At the rear of
the pub there is a small area where the pool table
is housed. There is now a new outside terrace area that is located upstairs.
The pub gets very busy on match days with
it being so close to the football stadium. It is
frequented by mainly a football crowd, locals,
students and business people. It has also been known
to attract Newcastle footballers and business
executives from the football ground.
Disabled access
is reasonable. Toilets to the rear of the bar are
small and clean.
Price:
Reasonable.
