Has a great selection of beers, wines and spirits accompanied by a great variety of cold snacks. Food is served daily. This place has all the amenties you need: large plasma TV, snooker table, music, cigarette vending machine, snack vending machines, male and female toliets, another 2 TVs. Nice and quiet during the day but very popular and busy on an evening. Clean and tidy with nice looking interior and art on the walls. They serve great beer and lager at around £2.50 a pint. Service is friendly and very good indeed.

Bottles of wine and…read morethemed food from the region, the chef is excellent, stuff to pick at at the theme nights, and I've been to party style events there too, with of these sorts of things upstairs, but downstairs is great for casual drinking and nibbly food. They catered well for the event, lovely bread, stew, gorgeous cheeses, quiche, all buffet and antipasti style stuff. They have a great selection of wines, as you would expect, wicked cheeseboards, gins liqueurs and whiskies that even kept the Scots happy. I would recommend here either as a place to have a chilled drink, or a lovely meal, definitely try the theme nights too. It can be a little clique-y though, but most are friendly and welcoming enough.

Out of curiosity... I made a note to look up the meaning of Dacantus (this is a Spanish place, only one person working here (the bartender when we arrived) isn't Spanish) - the closest I could get was "wine aerator" but I think that's because there's a wine aerator branded Decantus. We'd never seen Beefeater 24, so hubs ordered one with grapefruit and cardamon garnish and Fever Tree Light Tonic £6.50. When hubs tasted this, he said "wow" very softly and his eyes lit up. I had Bombay Sapphire with juniper berries and lemon peel and Slim Schweppes Tonic £5.95. They really twisted those peels to get as much aromatic oil out of them as possible (and they did it with two sets of tongs, not their bare fingers). The cardamon was a ground spice. The ice was very large - less dilution of the cocktails. I liked the juniper berries quite a bit. We were offered an aperitif to accompany our gin & tonics, chicken in a mustard sauce, quite tasty. Then we ordered the pork cubes. Not at all what we expected! It was a larger portion and the food was universally delicious! We'll be back in summer of 2016!

A HUGE pour of wine (no measurement yay!!) was only a little more than a fiver- I'm used to the same price for half that glass in London! The bartender was helpful and cheerful and the music was not too loud to block out convo. After pregaming we went to Soho Rooms next door to dance for a few hours and then came back for another round at The Vineyard as it was playing Latin music (yes!!) and there was some dancing. No cover either time. We left after a while but had such a good time.

Srsly, it's like walking into the set of some fucking Hollywood epic or some shit. When you walk in - you half expect to see Peter O' Toole as Lawrence of Arabia leaning over the grandiose urinals holding his errrr - bottle of Duvel. It's definitely some experience. Hennyway. Apart from the toilets, and not exactly having a massive variety of beers to choose from, aswell as the place being small, and being prone to fill up EXTREMELY quickly. This place has a wonderful charm, which it would be fantastic if half of the overly pretentious Newcastle bars could replicate. Highly recommended. Four stars.

Located on Front Street in Tynemouth this is one of the quieter bars - there seems to have been an influx of people hoarding to Tynemouth in the last few years and from a Friday through to Sunday you will be lucky to find a bar that isn't packed to the rafters! This is therefore my "go to place" with a small seating area out the front and inside this place is more of a wine shop however there is more than meets the eye! They serve most of their wines by the glass and once ordering you take a seat and they bring the drinks out to you. The best thing about this place; the small pot of crisps they bring out to you. It's probably better to describe them as small sticks but it goes so well with the wine it's a good combo! Bonus? If you are enjoying the wine so much you can purchase a sneaky bottle or two to take home!

Similar to Mr Lynch in that it has a great atmosphere and the decor is a mish mash of colours where vintage meets modern! Although it does attract the students....if you're not don't let this put you off as it can be nice and quiet during the week. The food is fantastic and excellent value for money. They also have daily happy hours on drinks as well as 2 cocktails for £5 on a Monday night!! The staff aren't always the quickest or the friendliest but can't fault the drinks. I've been to the quiz a couple of times which is on a Tuesday and Thursday night. Really good fun.....the most random questions I've ever come across mind!! we had a whole round related to cats and dogs so an example question was 'which breed of dogs have black tongues?' The only frustrating thing is that the quiz master doesn't read out the answers which is normally the fun part of the quiz when you laugh at your own inaccuracies!! Perhaps the only reason why Nancy's gets a 4 instead of a 5! If you're ever towards Manors direction this bar is worth a visit!!
