Newcastle's Best

BUILD YOUR newcastle STAG

Us Geordies love a good old pub crawl, especially when it’s in our neck of the woods.

The Toon is pretty darn special when it comes to beer and real ale (if we do say so ourselves), so let us guide you through a magical journey around all of the local watering holes that are excellent haunts for those of us partial to a pint or ten.

Let's get started.

1. The Bridge Tavern

7 Akenside Hill, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE1 3UF

What better place to begin our pub crawl in the Toon, than right under our very finest and most iconic landmark, the Tyne Bridge?


The award winning Bridge Tavern has an extremely quaint, chilled out and atmospheric ambiance, with a fantastic rooftop terrace to spill out onto on a warm evening. The tavern is even host to an impressive, fully operational, two hectolitre micro-brewery, which is well worth a look at.


As well as selling ten cask pumps from UK-wide breweries, keg beers and bottled world beers, the in house brewer creates batches of cask and keg ale daily which you can sample and buy. Locally sourced, seasonal food is available; from bar snacks, light bites, leisurely lunches, evening meals and Sunday roasts.

  • Opening Times
  • Monday - Thursday: 12.00 - 00.00
  • Friday - Saturday: 12.00 - 01.00
  • Sunday: 11.00 - 23.00
  • *Unfortunately, the real ale pubs and bars in this crawl aren't really the place for fancy dress costumes - so smarten up, fellas.

Our next stop is the multi award winning Crown Posada; an old school, traditional pub, and a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike.


This is the second oldest pub in Newcastle and a grade II listed building with highly traditional pub interiors. It boasts fantastic stained glass windows, awesome dark wood panelling, traditional wall lamps and a fully functioning house gramophone, making for a great place for you and the lads to have some real chill out time.


Ales are sourced from local suppliers around the North East, and if you need any help with choosing your tipple, the staff are always ready and willing to help you out.

3. Wobbly Duck

4 Old Eldon Square, Newcastle, NE1 7JG

The interior of Bier Keller, Newcastle, with wooden benches and seats

You’ll feel like a wobbly duck by the time you leave this place…


Established in 2016, The Wobbly Duck is a craft beer micropub found in a basement premises just outside of the shopping centre Eldon Square. This place may not be massive, but they really do know their beer and offer a brilliant selection including real ale (duh, that’s why it’s on the list).

We’d highly recommend this hidden gem. They’ve now got a little outside seating area too, ideal for cool beer on a hot day.

4. The Town Mouse

11 St Mary's Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne , NE1 7PG

The interior of Bier Keller, Newcastle, with wooden benches and seats

Priding themself on being ‘fiercely independent’, Town Mouse sells some of the best high-quality keg and cask beers that are brewed right here in the Northeast.


Having regularly featured in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and also winning CAMRA pub of the year several years in a row, this small-but-mighty basement pub is a must do for fans of real ale. As well as their local keg and cask beers, they also offer, locally produced bar snacks, a wide range of wine, perries and soft drinks, as well as an extensive range of cans and bottles that represent the best of British, European and North American brewing.
