I love this pub. Its a small, simple but fantastic pub. No frills, nothing flash, just down to earth. The service is great. The atmosphere is friendly, quiet and relaxing. The view of the Tyne from the beer garden is amazing. The best place for a photo, capturing all the Tyne's bridges. Love love love this pub!

The Free Trade really is another great ouseburn establishment, the only difference being the killer climb to it's perch on the hill towards byker.

Fairly small but cosy inside with a great selection of local and international beers, nice range of crisps (i think thats a plus!), really laid back crowd, and unbelievable views back down the river tyne and beyond from it's nice little beer garden.

It also has a pretty good jukebox which I seem to remember being free? I hope it still is as it only adds to the charm of this underrated establishment.

So all in all, if your planning an afternoon down the booze-burn, this place is an essential stop!

Could this be the best view of Newcastle from a beer garden? Positioned on a hill that allows you unrivalled sunset views over the Tyne and her many bridges.

Low key is not a word easily associated with Newcastle bars but great local beers, friendly bar staff and witty loo grafitti add to the simple brilliance of this place - but sshh don't tell anyone!
