Review:  


Large pub that was formerly known as the Turks Head. The pub has a long wooden bar with a part tiled and wooden floor. The interior decor is a mixture of cream and purple colours with modern uplighting fixtures and spotlighting to the ceiling. The outside is coloured in a bright blue theme in an attempt make it stand out from its Bigg Market rivals. There are large panelled mirrors on the walls and behind the bar with a selection of modern pictures.

At the front of the bar there is a small raised corner area with plenty of seating and there is also a further seating area to the rear. The main area of the bar also has some tables and chairs and there is plenty of standing room.

The pub is very busy at weekends with the overspill from the Bigg Market, but can be quieter during the week. The pub attracts mainly people on a night out or diners at lunchtime. There is regular music on play at most times with aresident DJ. Big screen football is shown on two large drop down screens situated behind and to the right of the bar, with all live football and six nations rugby featured. There are also two widescreen TV's on show. Ladies night every Friday with 70's & 80's music. Selected bottles £1.50, free shooter with first drink. The windows at the front are usually open in the summer. No smoking balcony next to main entrance 11am - 5am. Free hire of bar for functions - contact staff for further information email: lane.newcastle@nhguk.com

Disabled access good to main bar but difficult to toilets as down a flight of stairs. Toilets are small and reasonable.
 

Price: Moderate.
