Voted the top real ale pub on Tyneside by The campaign for real ale (camra) for 2006, 2007 & 2008, this traditional pub is a haven for real ale enthusiasts & those discerning customers who want to enjoy a great drink in a great pub.
This single room pub is situated next to St James Park and Chinatown, is known locally as the "Top Arms" and is very busy on match days and beer festival opening nights.
I have to praise the two girls that were on shift this evening ,so nice to have friendly bar staff with excellent customer service!… Certainly will be back!
Great bar near the ground. Mix of home and away fans in there. Pleasant atmosphere
4 of us enjoyed a lovely a Sunday lunch great choice of modern food at realist prices and the beer was excellent as recommended by the very friendly staff
Nice enough place to go. Staff where friendly and had a chat. Place is done out old school. I really like that. However if your someone like me who loves good beer. You won't find it here. Just standard stuff. Also the Guinness was a poor pint. We ended up leaving it.
Nice little place in Newcastle. Clean tidy decorated lovely. Toilets are clean. Wheelchair accessible entrance but never noticed accessible toilet. Not the cheapest pub in Newcastle I'm afraid but drink was really nice. Staff was polite. A local bus service runs close by as does the local metro, either St James or monument metro station. Would I return, yes I would, I have been before but for me it's now and again for a treat price wise. I would recommend to my family and friends to pay a visit 😊X
