We held our wedding party recently at The Central. From start to finish Gavin, Scott and all the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much of a hassle for them and what it cost us was excellent value for money (a similar pub venue in Newcastle wanted to charge us considerably more!).
I'd certainly recommend the pub if anyone wants to have a wedding party, or any other party for that matter, in an informal setting. We used the venue on the middle floor, for a band and DJ, and the top floor with roof terrace for drinks and food. The sun was shining all afternoon so the roof terrace was perfect (one thing the venue won't be able to guarantee is good weather though!).
And if you have no intention of using The Central for a party, it's just a great boozer with nice beers and good food.
Proper bar, proper atmosphere serving a canny selection of beers. The roof terrace on a sunny day is a great way to drink beer and while away a bit time and even watch a few trains go past.
We entered this pub for the history itself called the coffin for its shape or wedge.
It is really bright and clean, the manager welcomed us and invited us to go up to the terrace and it was a brilliant idea. We enjoyed the sunshine and the trains passing by our side. Beautiful views not to Newcastle but some aged buildings opposite.
Very recommended.
A must visit. Great history, architecture not to forget the ales, beers and locally sourced bar food. Can't wait to go back
Really enjoyed my first ever visit here. Friendly people, great pub, great interior, great beers.
Good selection of beers and pies with friendly staff.
Went to see Abdoujaparov play and had an awesome night.
Can't beat a bit of pie & punk!
Great selection of beers, spirits, ciders and non alcoholic options, a great menu of food and there was even free stew on when we visited! Also this place has an amazing roof terrace!
Good beer selection. Excellent pies. A traditional pub on 3 floors, including a roof garden. It has been renovated in a traditional style, but the occasional modern twist. This is one of those bars that you shouldn't miss if you are in Newcastle or surrounding areas.
The pub is run by some nice young gentlemen, who are more than happy to help you picking a beer from their big (and very diverse) selection of brews! You will find none of the Heineken / Guinness brews there, but just local and independent Ales, Ciders and Lagers at great prices! The pub is very clean and also it has a super nice rooftop terrasse for relaxing in the sun (if it's out), a pool table and even a third room with a stage, where you would find some concerts on the weekend.
Honestly the nicest pub of Newcastle (even though it's in gateshead :P) and a great place for anyone wanting to try some alternative brews!
fun times in here. bit tight but that's the point. Great vibes, and good prices. haven't tried their food
The friendliest and most helpful staff we encountered on our pub crawl of Newcastle/Gateshead. Based off a few vague statements from my wife, they were able to pluck a beer that she loved. I must confess it was an excellent choice. The interior was like a dive bar, but not as shabby - loved it.
Excellent range of beers, quirky shaped building with a classic pub interior, lots of quiet corners if you want it, or a friendly open bar area if you want a chat.
