Only one word can sum up this place - "UNIQUE" A tiny pub with stained glass windows. Excellent choice of real ales (changing regularly) friendly service and clientele. Choice of three varieties of sandwich with free crisps. Always the same choice but always good. If you are a tourist this place is well worth a visit. NOTE:- It can get very busy.
We called into the Crown before and after our xmas meal and its a great little bar which hasnt changed for years. Lots of reviews will say the same thing but if you are in Newcastle near the quayside it not to be missed. Pubs as they used to be including 1930s backgound music . Best to go early in the day if you can because it must get packed at night. £3.20 a pint for carling so reasonable prices for city centre. I dont think you will get any food here as its justa drinking den.
A perfect little bar down by the Quayside area of Newcastle. Great selection of local beers in a quirkily little bar. Fantastic staff who know their beers . Can't wait to return for another pint. Limited food available.
Walked past several times and it didn't register but went with some locals last weekend and popped in for a swift one. Great beers well kept and the proper atmosphere of a town pub....a little gem.....if it isn't already it should be made a listed building!
A visit to Newcastle is never complete without a trip to the diminutive Crown Posada. Its position is part of the charm, nestling amongst tall tenement style buildings with the huge railway and road bridges towering overhead. The interior has to be seen to be believed - a real Victorian city centre bar, with stained glass and a lovely moulded ceiling.As far as beer goes, it appears to concentrate on small local microbreweries, at prices below average for central Newcastle. I notice it's part of the local Sir John Fitzgerald group of pubs (as are the Bacchus, Bodega and other havens for real ale afficionados in the city) and has a discount loyalty card scheme.
We met friends here before heading out for a meal.Its an unusual shaped pub. There a wee snug to left as you enter and the length of the pub looks like a wonky coffin !Prices reasonable for the area, not as you may perhaps expect on thins area - but it looks like time has passed this pub by.
I needed a decent pint, after watching Sunderland knock Leeds United out of the FA Cup!The staff and customers advised me of the best beers to try, as Tyneside has a huge range of cask ale these days. I had two dark beers and they were both lovely. I'd not been here in 25 years and it's not changed much. The barmaid played Beatles albums on an old record player behind the bar! You'll find many old pubs & new bars around here nowadays, some look gimmicky & others hire staff who don't have much knowledge of beer. Try The Crown - a good start to any evening.
If you didn't know this pub was here you'd probably walk straight past it like I had done on a lot of occasions! On the Side leading down to the quay, soon as you step inside it's like being transported back to Victorian times. The first thing you get to is the snug, then the bar then more seats. It's a very long thin bar. Amazing Victorian fixtures. It even smells old and mysterious! They still play old records, when I've been in its been Motown stuff. Staff are lovely and friendly and have a good chat with the patrons at the bar. They do a really nice bottle of Sauvignon blanc for £13 too, not bad! It's so atmospheric, I love it. One of my favourite bars in Newcastle.
This is a little gem of a pub which you could easily walk past and not know it's there. Brilliant, knowledgeable staff and fantastic beer. Interior architecture is reason enough to visit but accompanied by a few good pints it looks even better.
A wonderful classic pub which has lovely wood finishings,beautiful stained glass windows and a jaw dropping ornate ceiling,i don't normally get excited by pubs but this tavern is in a class of its own ,its a throwback to what pubs used to be like before the ever present chain pubs appeared all over the country,if your doing the pub run in Newcastle make sure you fit this one in.... your in for a real treat!
