The Old George Inn

Description

If you’re searching for a lively Newcastle pub that blends great food, live sport and late-night entertainment, The Old George Inn is a must-visit destination. Established in 1582, it’s Newcastle’s oldest pub, combining rich heritage with a modern, food-led experience in the heart of the Bigg Market.

Our menu features a wide range of crowd-pleasing pub favourites, from stone-baked pizzas and loaded fries to classic comfort dishes—perfect for casual dining, sharing with friends or group bookings. Guests can also enjoy regular weekly food offers, making it even easier to dine out in Newcastle without breaking the bank.

Behind the bar, you’ll find an excellent selection of draught beers, cask ales, wines and cocktails, while our spacious beer garden provides the perfect setting for relaxed drinks in the city centre. We’re also proudly dog friendly, so well-behaved four-legged guests are always welcome.

Sports fans can catch live action every day, including football, rugby and horse racing, with Sky and BT Sport shown in HD across multiple screens, plus dedicated racing channels. Alongside this, we host weekly events and weekend DJ nights, creating a buzzing atmosphere that carries on late into the night.

Planning something special? Our free-to-hire function room is ideal for private parties, corporate events, Christmas celebrations and more.

Join us during the festive season for Christmas set menus packed with seasonal favourites, alongside tailored drinks packages to make your celebration extra special. And when New Year’s Eve arrives, raise a glass, enjoy great food and drinks, and welcome the new year in style.

Whether you're visiting for food, drinks or a great night out, The Old George Inn offers an unforgettable Newcastle experience.
