Medium sized traditional pub that has been named Tyneside pub of the year for 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

The original Bacchus pub closed it doors in the Autumn of 2001 and the new pub is now further up High Bridge.

The pub has a very large U shaped bar that is in a central position with large wooden pillars spanning its length.

Large windows to one side give a bright and airy feel during the day.

There is plenty of seating throughout with a mixture of tables and chairs and high stools.

There is also more comfortable seating in a raised area to the rear and a small lounge area near to the main entrance.

The decor is a mixture of wooden panelling and maroon and cream pastel colours. The pub has a part wooden and carpeted floor.

The small spotlighting to the ceiling and large drop down lamp opposite the bar create a warm and cosy atmosphere in the evening.

Regular music is on play at most times. The pub is very popular and busy at all times.

It attracts a mixed clientele of business people, shoppers and people on a night out. Free WiFi in bar.

Disabled access is very good with a designated disabled toilet near to the stairs. Toilets are immaculately clean and located up a flight of stairs.

Price:Moderate.
