This special Newcastle upon Tyne pub tour blends rich local history, spectacular riverside scenery, and some of the city’s best-loved pubs into one incredible tour.
We begin in the historic heart of the city, enjoying carefully chosen pubs as we make our way past the Castle that gave Newcastle its name and down towards the River Tyne. Along the route, you’ll hear how this once-industrial powerhouse grew into one of Britain’s most vibrant and characterful cities.
Our walk leads us into the world-famous Quayside, widely regarded as one of the most iconic nightlife districts in Britain. With its sweeping river views, striking modern architecture, and legendary bridges, it’s an area packed with atmosphere by day and electric with life by night. .
We then cross the magnificent High Level Bridge — famous not only as an engineering masterpiece but also as one of the very best viewpoints in the city. Our final pub is just at the far end.
A free drink is included in each pub that we visit.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
I can meet you at your hotel or mutually convenient location and either walk or get the Metro to the starting point of the tour outside Newcastle Central Railway Station.
I will meet you just outside the main exit of the station. I can even meet you off your train if you're coming from London or elsewhere.
We finish at the Station East pub just across the High Level Bridge in Gateshead (not far from where that famous carpark was). I will make sure you get back to a Metro Station or walk with you back across the river, get a taxi or whatever.
