Review:
Large
traditional Newcastle pub that is best described as
the bar with a heart in the heart of the city.
The
pub has two main entrances that lead through to a
lounge and a select bar. There are also two
entrances inside the pub that lead onto Grainger Market
at the rear of the pub. A rectangular bar covers
both the lounge and
select
bar areas.
The lounge area has
leather high backed seating with plenty of tables
and chairs. There is low drop down ball lighting
and the walls are adorned with numerous pictures
of film stars and caricatures. The bar area also
has ample seating with plenty of tables and chairs
throughout and there is a small raised stage area
at the rear where the karaoke is performed.
Both of the bars have
a large drop down screen that features live
sports, including football, six nations rugby
matches and horse racing. The screen in the bar is also used to
show the lyrics of the songs when the karaoke is
on. Karaoke is featured on a Monday, Thursday and Friday
from 6pm - close. Saturday night is disco night from 7pm - close. There is
regular music on play most of the time that
creates a lively atmosphere. The pub is very popular and extremely
busy at all times with a regular clientele of
locals, an older crowd and market traders.
Disabled access very
good with the pub all on one level. Toilets are
small and clean.
Price:
Very Reasonable.
