Bacchus also shows all live sports on BT and Sky Sports on its numerous HD TVs and projectors. Perfect for a night out in Newcastle!
You’ll find the Bacchus in the heart of Newcastle city centre, just off Grey Street. There’s also a full size pool table for those who fancy a game.
It’s also a great place to stop off before or after a visit to the Theatre Royal which is on a neighbouring street, and it’s close to Monument Metro station and many other popular entertainment venues, too.
The pub has a wide selection of cask ales, fantastic choice of microbrewery beers, extensive wine list and a vast choice of spirits.
In terms of pub locations, Fitzgeralds in Newcastle is hard to beat. It’s situated on the elegant Grey Street, which is by far the city’s most stunning street in terms of striking architecture. It’s also within walking distance of the prestigious Theatre Royal, it’s close to the Quayside, and it’s in the perfect spot for anyone wanting to wind down after leaving the office on a Friday afternoon. Join us and enjoy gin pairings and of course, some well kept ales.
The pub itself continues to grow in popularity, and buzzes with activity all day, every day. Why? Because it’s recently been mentioned in the Real Ale Guide, it offers an ever-changing list of guest beers handpicked by its customers.
So not only is it a place where people love to be seen during the day – it’s most definitely a great night out, too.
If a great location is what you’re after, then The Bridge Hotel offers one of the most spectacular in Newcastle. Just two minutes’ walk from Grey Street and the Quayside, and right next door to the Castle Keep and the High Level bridge, you’ll find stunning views of the River Tyne from both the pub and outdoor terrace.
The atmosphere is just as impressive, and the friendly staff offers a true local Tyneside welcome to huge variety of customers who visit the venue for its history, its impressive programme of live entertainment, its outstanding reputation for serving a huge choice of cask ale, and its mouth-watering menus.
If there was ever a reminder of what drinking in Victorian days was like, you’ll find it at The Bodega.
One of the most popular venues in Newcastle, and the pub where staff from other pubs go for a drink, it boasts a traditional long bar, Victorian stained glass domes, elaborately tiled floors, and lots and lots (and lots) of history.
The pub was crowned Real Ale Pub of the Year in 2014, 2015, and was runner-up in 2016, so you can also expect a true commitment to offering the very best real ale. And when you combine that with a great mix of people, large screen plasma TVs, and friendly staff, it’s the perfect place to relax before or after visiting nearby St James’ Park, the Tyne Theatre, or virtually anywhere else.
The Chillingham is invaluable. It’s one of only a handful of venues that focus on offering real ale, with one of the best selections of guest ales in the region.
An imposing landmark with close proximity to Chillingham Road Metro station, it forms a busy meeting place for locals. This public house offers good beer, cocktails and wine. A warm and friendly welcome is guaranteed. The Chillingham is a cornerstone of Heaton’s social hub, a big screen for matchdays, and a buzzing atmosphere.
The public house provides lively quiz nights and a function room for hire which regularly hosts live music and comedy.
Converting an old farm into a pub normally guarantees that you’ll discover interesting architectural features, cosy spaces, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. You’ll find all that and much more at The Plough in Cramlington Village. In fact, the pub actually comprises the original farmhouse and steading, plus the unusual circular building that was once used to grind corn.
The wine list is fantastic, and the real ale selection is even better. Just as importantly, the staff offer a great welcome, and you can choose to join in the lively atmosphere at the bar, enjoy a more sedate pace in the lounge, or make the most of the weather in the large beer garden.
It’s certainly one of Cramlington’s most popular pubs, and once you’ve visited, it’s easy to see why.
