Medium sized
traditional Newcastle pub that has a long wooden bar
and an excellent range of drinks. 
There is
comfortable leather lounge seating around the
interior with plenty of wooden tables and chairs.
The pub is fully carpeted throughout and is
decorated in a traditional style. The walls are
adorned with local pictures and posters advertising
forthcoming and past events.
The pub is bright and
airy and there is air conditioning, with ceiling
fans used at certain times. A large TV is situated
in one corner and there are several games machines
dotted about the bar. There is a free juke box to
the left of the bar that is stocked with over 100
CD's. Regular music is on play at most times and a
DJ is featured usually on a Sunday evening.
Live Music
is also featured on a Sunday with a board beside the
bar displaying forthcoming bands and events.
 A beer
garden is a unique feature of the pub as it is
located under the Glasshouse bridge and can be used
in all weather conditions. The beer garden has
plenty of wooden tables and benches with a large
mural on the wall. The pub is very popular and has a
relaxed and comfortable atmosphere at all times. It
is frequented mainly by locals, students and at
times Quayside visitors. It is also a popular venue
for real ale drinkers and for people attending the
live music events.
Disabled access to main bar very
good but difficult to the toilets that are upstairs.
Toilets are small and clean.
