Review:
Medium sized
traditional Newcastle pub that was first established
1836. The bar first became popular with grocers and
tutors in Brandling Village. It also has a naval
connection due to its name and shape. The pub has retained many
of its original features with leaded windows to the
front. It has a long bar and a wooden floor and
there are old pictures of Newcastle and Lord
Collingwood adorning the walls.
The decor is a
mixture of pink and cream colours. There is plenty
of seating throughout with tables and chairs and a
small snug area at one end.
Outside there is
further seating with wooden tables and chairs,
heated lamps and canopies. Child policy under 14
not allowed, 14-18 with adults. Live sports
including live football is shown on a large drop
down screen and there are also several widescreen
TV's. A cash link machine is located near to the
main entrance.
The pub attracts
a steady clientele of students and locals and is
close enough to the Jesmond strip of bars to
attract those on a night out in Jesmond. Disabled
access is good. Toilets are small and clean.
Price:
Moderate.
