Give into the charm of Three Mile: a snug spot that's won awards for being one of the finest boozers in the North East. You'll be in for a treat no matter what you're looking for, whether that's quality food, entertainment or a winning selection of brews best enjoyed in the heated outdoor sofa area.
Seek shelter from the cold inside the historic Old George Inn. Catch up over pints and something tasty courtesy of the food menu. It features stone-baked pizzas and chicken (or cauliflower) wings that come served by the kilo with an epic choice of coatings (think salted chilli caramel and hot honey Buffalo sauce).
The Bridle Path is somewhere you'll want to spend the better part of the weekend. Intimate booths and carpeted floors add extra warmth to what's already a homey environment - thanks to the friendly staff and epic comfort food offerings. Live music and bar games are sure to be keeping you around even longer.

Sat just 100 yards from Newcastle Central station, it's hard to pass up a pint at The Town Wall when touching down in this city. This brooding bolthole fronts dark wood furnishings, dim lighting and a crackling fire making it one of the most cosy pubs in Newcastle town centre, as well as being super trendy.

Grand Victorian interiors make up the unique qualities of Crown Posada. Housed in a Grade ll listed building, this vintage drinkers den, championing an excellent selection of cask ales, is one of the first places you should look if your pint-loving pal's gone AWOL.
Lady Greys is one of the best pubs in Newcastle city centre for true beer lovers. Explore their locally produced cask ales and bottled beers from around the world.
