The Strawberry, Newcastle

Brilliant traditional style pub along the lines of Newcastle Arms, Bodega & Hotspur. Good beer, fantastic food and the staff are always friendly and polite. As a result you will always find a good mixture of regulars and more importantly, no radgies. Ideal for matchdays if you are a human contortionist.

possibly THE worst pub in the Northern Hemisphere...i would rather walk into the Adelphi on a Tyne/Wear derby day wearing a Mackem shirt than visit this place again!!! Avoid at all costs.

The Newcastle Arms, Newcastle

A refreshingly traditional & historic stop off that nestles in the shadow of St.James Cathedral. This place effortlessly manages to achieve what most pub owners try, unsuccessfully, to re-create (are you paying attention Cluny goers?). Why bother drinking in a brand new bar that is made up to feel authentic when you can park your arse in the genuine article. The choice of real ale was top notch and provides for all tastes; novices and connoisseurs alike, and if you are still unsure what to pick, the staff actually know what they are talking about when it comes down to beer. What more can I say? Check this place out and you won't be sorry. If it doesn't sound like your cup of tea then you can always nash off to the nearest Wetherspoons for a pint of pis*water.x.
