Review:
Large modern pub that
is an excellent live music venue and has something
to suit all tastes. It has been is now owned
by The Head of Steam chain of pubs who also have two
pubs in the Central Station area. The bar offers one of the best and extensive range of beers in Newcastle.
There are huge glass doors at the main entrance that lead
through to the main bar. The pub has an L shaped bar
with mirrors on the pillars. The bar has a wooden
floor with stone walls and pipes interlaced on the
ceiling.
There is plenty of seating throughout with
mainly tables and chairs to the main bar area. A
raised area to the front has additional seating with
more tables and chairs. A unique feature of the pub
is the large train set in a raised area at the
end of the bar. This leads through to a large room
where there is further seating area with some tables
and chairs. To the rear of the pub there is a
separate bar that is used for live
music entertainment. This room has a small bar with
steps leading down to a large cavern area with a
stage at one end.
The pub has very
modern style fixtures and fitments. There are also
numerous flyers on the arched areas of the
walls advertising forthcoming live bands and musical
events. Regular music is on play at most times. A large function room which can take up to
250 persons can be hired for a charge. A band or disco and catering can be arranged.
Ask at bar or check website for more details of charges. The
pub attracts a mixed crowd of locals and students
and those people attending the live music functions.
It can be busy at most times with a lively and
comfortable atmosphere and is very popular when live
acts are featured.
Disabled access to the
main bar is very good but can be more difficult to
the areas at the rear of the pub. Toilets are
small and clean.
