Review:
Very large popular pub
that is close to the law courts and the Travelodge
Hotel. The pub serves a range of pizzas with a clay oven a central
feature.
There is plenty of seating
available with predominantly wooden tables and
chairs throughout the bar. There is also additional
seating on high tables and chairs to the centre with
more comfortable leather backed seating to be found
in other areas of the bar.
The pub has a bright and modern
colour scheme with a mixture of maroon and
cream colours to the ceiling and walls and smart
lighting throughout. The entrance has a glass
frontage that gives a bright feel to the place. This
leads on to a large seating area outside that offers
splendid views of the
Quayside
and the River Tyne. It is extremely busy in fine
weather and there are heated lamps in use when it
is cooler.
Regular music is on
play most of the time creating a comfortable and
relaxed atmosphere. A pool table is housed in the
area to the right of the main bar and sports are
shown on a TV near to the main entrance. A
function room available for parties/buffets is located up
a flight of stairs near to the main entrance. Cash
link machine is available. Quiz Night from 7pm every Thursday. The pub attracts a
mixed clientele of business people, and people on
a night out. It is very busy most of the time,
especially on the weekend with Quayside revellers.
Disabled access is
very good to all parts of the pub, with a disabled
toilet located to the left of the main bar.
Toilets are medium sized, smart and clean.
