The top Newcastle pubs to watch football in this Summer
We’re certainly not short of pubs in Newcastle to watch football in, but with so much choice it can be difficult to decide. So if you’re wondering where to watch the World Cup in Newcaslte centre these pubs might tickle your fancy:
About 5 minutes walk down Westgate Road you’ll come to the corner of Grey Street and our favourite Newcastle pub the Vineyard. It’s a great choice whether for civilised pre-dinner drink, post-theatre nightcap or watch a match. The excellent beer selection is only beaten by the wine choice – after a couple drinks you’ll inevitably need to visit the toilets and theirs are incredibly cool.
The best Newcastle pub to watch the World Cup Final has to be the Tyne Bar on Mailing Street. It’s just over 2km walk so about 30 minutes or 5 if you hop in a taxi. A civilised blend of lovingly brewed local real ales, comfy sofas and large beer garden for those sunny summer afternoons combine to make this a great place to hangout on Sunday, soak up the atmosphere and cheer on your team. If you’re feeling peckish they have great selection of nibbles or try house specialty Beef & Onion Stottie.
For a comfortable, laid back venue you can’t beat the Waterline. As you’d expect its near the Tyne so about 15 – 20 minutes walk from the Apartments. On warm sunny evenings its great to sit out on the Quayside and enjoy fantastic views of the Millennium Bridge.
Staying with venues down at Quayside another of our top recommendations is Pitcher & Piano. Opposite the Baltic Contemporary Arts Museum and its trendy style complements the location. We’ve always found the staff attentive and friendly and it attracts the “young professional” crowd with great range of beers and wines by the glass. The match will be shown on the big screens and if you’re in need of a nibble try the mix and match Grazing & Sharing options.
A little bit further on the road to the Byker Bridge in the new arts and crafts district is The Cluny. A former whisky bottling plant the venue retains much of the charm and character of its former life. This is a great choice for footie mad families and the gallery section with large sofas is family friendly.
