Newcastle's most iconic landmark and tourist attraction - beautiful views day and night! This area…read morereally epitomises what Newcastle has to offer...beautiful architecture, culture and a thriving nightlife. An ideal destination for walkers, runners and cyclists alike and personally my number one route when training for the Great North Run. Each Sunday you also have the option to peruse the Quayside Market whilst taking in the views. If you're visiting the city and looking for that one perfect tourist snap then this is it! On a nighttime, it can be so tranquil and is a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. That said...further along the river you can easily access a whole host of different bars and restaurants on the side streets set back from the river! There really is something for everyone!

Another 'spoons bar. What would we do without them? However, sitting outside on a summers day, (…read moreyes, we DO get them in the NE, occasionally) with a pint, watching the Tyne flow past, is truly idyllic. Cheap beer, reasonable nosh, and a good view, what more can you ask for?.

You won't find any glamour here...it's a traditional pub with a cosy and lived in appeal so in other words a bit rough around the edges. Attracts a mixed group of people but normally those seeking somewhere laid back and casual. There is also a resident cat (check above the jukebox!) who has become a celebrity to those who visit the Free Trade Inn! I cannot find fault with this pub. Yes the seating isn't always the comfiest and the paint may be flaking off the walls but I personally wouldn't trade anything in case it upset the ambience of the place. If the weather is nice checking out the beer garden is an absolute must to soak up the breathtaking views. Also hurrah for a pub that offers a good selection of drinks that won't dent the bank balance. Only one last statement....try it for yourself!

Being right across the street from the station and being a Wetherspoons (a.k.a. one of the cheapest places in town) means the Union Rooms is usually full and has an eclectic crowd. It has a very nice ambiance for a chain pub as it was a former gentleman's club (not that kind!). There are two bars (one on each floor), a sit down dining area and a large-ish family space. That said, they run out of the most random things (juice? the advertised beers?) at the most random times and is so popular it seems difficult for the staff to keep clean. It's also kind of rowdy on game day, but where in Newcastle isn't?

Great location for drinks!…read more Very cheap drink deals. They have special event weeks. Numerous different rooms, on different floors. All the rooms have a different theme. Some are more royal, some have a glass top and many more surprises await you inside the Mile Castle! No music, TV's yes!

The William Jameson was the first Wetherspoons pub to be established in Sunderland…read more With cheap drinks, the pub soon became hugely popular with young and old people alike. The relic of this is that it is often packed with elder gentlemen on a Saturday and Sunday afetrnoon. If you're looking for cheap drinks, wether before you go out or just on an afternoon shopping spree, this is the ideal place to come. They also often have offers on the already cheap drinks, a wide selection of wines and spirits and, most importantly, a regular nice selection of real and regular ales. You can also still get Newcastle Brown Ale here. The William Jameson also does food, as does any Wetherspoon outlet, and very cheap indeed. The food is good, fast and frugal, with a very wide selection. They also have self-service satchets for mayo and Ketchup etc, so if you'e a student, you can stock up while you drink! In addition, you can get a Lavazza cappucino for 69p, or a Mocha Cappucino (my favourite, for £1.19. You cant get such a decent coffee that cheap anywhere on the high street! The smoking ban has dented the crowd at jamesons somewhat. It used to be constantly packed, butnow is often empty, with the jovial atmposphere somewhat diminished. They do now have chairs outside to smoke, but in the winter months, it feels like you're sitting in a wind tunnel. In the summer it's great as you get to sit outside opposite the City Museum and Old Library! The toilets are nice, clean and well-maintained, a rarity in Sunderland pubs. The pub itself is also well-maintained, although slightly dated. I don't think this detracts much when you think of the price of everything. After all, with no music, that's why you're there! All in all, a great, budget, quality pub.
