Newcastle is horrendous these days. They should see if they can find somewhere in the bright lights of Hartshill instead!😉 |

Can't say I'm surprised given the competition and personal circumstances.
Good shout about taking on somewhere in Hartshill. The Noah's would have been too big but somewhere like the Old House would suit them.

It’s way better along Hartshill Road from the Sanctuary down to the Museum, including the little Vic and the Hop Inn. Well at least to old farts like me. Although I think they’ve made a rod for their own backs with this Hartshill Mile malarkey, it just generates aggressive and very pissed lads.

Amazing what a couple of pints of Carling or Foster's does to people 🙄 |

Hop Inn's quality, is that Beatles themed one still going, the one up from the hotel? Quirky little place, felt out of place where it was. |

I’d heard it’d been sold and got rid of all The Beatles stuff but not been down. |

A shame to see it go, always enjoyed a pint by the fire in the winter. Hopefully circumstances will improve and they can open at a different venue in town.
I still need to try out the new Crossways up by the old Jubilee baths roundabout (now ran by the same people who own BottleCraft in Hanley)

Hopefully they'll be on top of it now |

If I said that the original Crossways where your feet stick to the carpet was more luxurious I wouldn't be taking the piss. |

Ideal place for The Limestone Vaults then. I only went in “a hard days night” twice. It was shit, if I remember rightly they didn’t even serve pints. The shame of it!!! |

Then again there’s no one in any pubs in Newcastle in the week apart from George and Dragon and that dump The Golden Lion. |

Newcastle has gone the same way as Hanley unfortunately a d is a run down dump these days.
There are a few nice little craft places that are still worth a visit but other than that it is a complete shit hole full of horrible people.

The only thing I hated about that country! |

The guy who runs it I’ve heard unfortunately has a serious illness that can’t be cured. And he’s on the verge of letting it go. That’s not gospel just somebody told me who goes in there. I’ve never been Castle Mona but it looks my kind of boozer from outside. |

Attracts a young dickhead element though unfortunately and can get a bit lairy in there at times. Shame really cuz it's got a great outdoor seating area out the back. |

I shall place it on my summer hitlist for now then. Can’t believe I still haven’t been after 10 years of living a 10 minute walk away. To be fair there’s always been young dick head elements everywhere, it’s just knowing when’s best to avoid them. |

Went last night. I discovered that after 15 years without playing I was equally as wank as the last time I played. Became a member last night though and going every week. It was rammed, what a gold mine that must be |
