Wxcellent traditional pub on the top of the hill, good beer. My weekend visit meant it was extremely busy with a disco and food supplies

a fantastic ale house up a steep set of steps from the Cluny, or in a back street off the main Byker roundabout. it’s a no frills place with two sides (one with a piano) plus a music venue upstairs. I enjoyed an excellent stout and relaxed as it was quiet of an afternoon- much livelier later I suspect.

I first came to this pub over 35 years ago, probably closer to 40. At the time its rise to being one of the most famous UK ale houses had already begun. It was one of three Newcastle pubs in the original 1974 GBG. Two of these were in the Byker area and one in Gosforth. In those days it was noted for Bass Worthington Bitter straight from the cask but had upgraded to Bass by the time I darkened its door. Today it concentrates on local micros and some of the more crafty options from others.
It really isn't very far from the Cluny and Ship but it does involve climbing a steep stepped path. The two rooms have been well described below.
There were around ten beers available plus a cider and I don't remember seeing anything mainstream. I went for the crafty options of Northern Alchemy Lemon & Vanilla Oatmeal Stout (£4.10), Tiny Rebel Strawberry Milkshake (£4.90) and Salopian Insomnia (£6.00!). These made quite a varied choice and were in good condition.
I'd forgotten about this place but for me it's worth a 10. It's in most editions of the GBG.
