The Tyne Bar, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Not to be missed if you're on a mini crawl from the Cumberland Arms continuing on down to the Free Trade. This pub offers good seating both inside and out and has a good relaxed atmosphere with a decent choice of ales. We stopped in for a pint of Anarchy Blonde Star, which was decent at £3.40. A good mix of people drinking here and busier than expected for a Wednesday night.

another cracking little pub down the river from Newcastle. a fair contrast from the Free Trade - this is warmer, cosier and more cared for. Junk food is popular and students appear to be the predominant clientele. Had a good pint of Pomona pale - bizarrely it also serves Sam Smiths lager! sat outside next to the viaduct and Ouseburn barrage. It was, however, just a little too ‘cafe bar’ in atmosphere inside for me.
