I popped into the back bar on a sunday night with a couple of friends a few weeks ago. It was a quiet evening with about 10 others in the bar. At 10.50pm the barmaid rang last orders. I went up to the bar and stood next to a man who was getting served. When she finished serving him the barmaid left the bar for about a minute. On her return she ignored me and started talking to a group of men. I asked for service and she said she'd called time. She clearly had no intention of serving me. This type of service is terrible and not uncommon according to others I have spoken to recently. Such a shame considering what a great pub it once was. I shall not reurn.

One of the two regular pubs for the church and chamber choirs of All Saints, Gosforth when I sang with them. This was the more regular one.

The scurrilous (and no longer funny) magazine Viz was first written in here, since this is where the bunch of students used to meet and drink and produce cartoons originally for circulation amongst themselves.

I couldn't find a more up to date photo but I'll correct that next time I'm in Newcastle. It hasn't really changed much anyway.
