Das Pub reflektiert wirklich die lokale Hingabe zu den schwarzen und weißen Streifen mit Bildern von Newcastle Fußballern der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. An Spieltagen ist es sehr voll, aber genießen Sie die tolle Atmosphäre während des Wartens bis Sie an die Bar kommen! Die Auswahl und Qualität der Biere ist gut, während die Qualität des Pub-Essens ausgezeichnet ist. Der Name des Pub´s geht auf die Tatsache zurück, dass hier einst ein Nonnenkloster auf dem Gelände war, wobei die Nonnen Erdbeeren anbauten und Erdbeerwein an Reisende verkauften. Das Kloster wurde 1840 geschlossen und alle Anzeichen eines Obstgartens sind längst vorbei aber der Name lebt weiter. Rufen Sie für weitere Details und die genauen Zeiten an.
In spite of being tucked away in a narrow pedestrian street, away from the main party areas of the city, the Forth is usually busy. The clientele is broadly based. Its traditional feel attracts those who prefer to avoid the bright and brash bars, and its excellent juke box draws in those whose musical appreciation stretches beyond the pop charts. Its proximity to clubs such as World Headquarters, and Scotland Yard makes it a popular pre-club meeting place. If you like your pubs unpretentious, and your drinks reasonably cheap, then give the Forth a try.
Nestled under the iconic Tyne Bridge, The Bridge Tavern is a brewpub located on Akenside Hill. Housed in a historic building, it serves 10 types of cask ales from their onsite microbrewery. The bar also offers an excellent selection of ciders, wines, and other spirits. Their kitchen prepares a seasonal menu of British pub food made from locally sourced ingredients. With its alfresco dining space, craft brews, and knowledgeable staff, The Bridge Tavern provides a memorable experience for its guests.
The oldest pub in Newcastle is worth visiting just to have a look at the stained glass window. The bar must be one of the smallest in the city, and as narrow as a railway carriage. The snug at the front has a much more natural and traditional feel than those manufactured in a lot of pub refurbishments. The beer is good and the atmosphere friendly. The pub is popular with business people, students and people seeking a refuge from the more trendy venues nearby on the Quayside. The Crown Posada is not old and quaint because someone designed it that way, but just because it is that way. Posada, incidentally is Portuguese for resting place. The pub was apparently once owned by a Portuguese shipping merchant.
