About us

Visit the area’s most famous pub for a memorable night out in Newcastle.

As one of the most famous pubs in Newcastle – and the second oldest in the city – the Crown Posada has a big reputation to live up to. The pub is a grade two listed building with a Victorian exterior, an elaborately panelled entrance, original stained glass windows and a warm, lively, and laughter-filled atmosphere that’s as rare as the pub itself.

Just two minutes walk from Grey Street, and in the heart of the Quayside, the Crown Posada is a must to visit and experience. This highly traditional pub regularly receives CAMRA awards, and was recently named as the Daily Telegraph & Abbot Ale Tyne and Wear perfect pub.

Inside, you can relax during the day listening to the house gramophone and enjoying a variety of excellently kept cask ales. Let the buzz of the evening wash over you as a huge variety of customers mingle and mix.

Finally, legend has it that the pub was bought by a Spanish Sea Captain for his mistress – but whatever time of day or night you visit, you’ll soon realise that The Crown Posada is a legend in its own right.

We were told we had to come here, and we understand why! Totally laid back atmosphere, great taplist and wine selection and fantastic friendly service. This is a must visit when in Newcastle. The fact that the music is all from vinyl just adds to everything.

Traditional, untouched gem of a pub with a lot of original features still in place. Good selection of beers on draft at reasonable prices. Nice friendly staff and good music.

One of the few original pubs left in Newcastle, dating from the 1700s(?) and still going strong. Mostly an older clientele, decent range of beers, wooden panelling etc. It's quite narrow so can get a bit cramped, but that adds to the atmosphere. Recommended.

The Crown Posada is a historic pub that offers a cozy and lively atmosphere, a great selection of cask ales, and a charming Victorian decor. The pub is one of the oldest and most famous in Newcastle, and it has a lot of character and charm. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the music is played on a vintage vinyl record player. The pub is a perfect place to enjoy a pint with friends, or to relax after a day of exploring the city. The Crown Posada is a must-visit for anyone who loves pubs and history.
