This is a great pub, although almost exclusively populated by students and recent students. It has very cheap drink and food, and vouchers to make it even cheaper (or free) are often handed out on Grey Street and around Haymarket. There is also the infamous yellow card which again gives you access to cheaper offers on food and drink. There are two indoor snooker tables and one outside, as well as quiz machines, jukebox and even a claw machine! It's really good for a midweek drink with a relaxed atmosphere, and there is a nice outside seating area for the summer (or for smokers to huddle under the heaters in the winter!). Food is basic burgers and sarnies type of grub, but good value. There are also quiz nights and £1 a pint nights to really draw in the crowd.

The Hancock pub in Newcastle upon Tyne is situated near both the Newcastle and Northumbria University campuses and has become s student haven.

It is a large pub containing an upstairs, downstairs and large beer garden which is covered in case of rain. It provides the usual choice of drinks but a lot cheaper than other pubs, especially if you own a ‘yellow card’. These allow further discount on the already cheap prices which is shown to extreme during the weekly pound a pint night! There is also a large menu of varied food which is cheap and delicious.

An excellent pub to visit even if you're not a student, very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
