New bar by the cinema in Newcastle town centre. No real ale, but decent bottled range, including Lymestone. Food served most of the day. Noisy in the evening. The upstairs is styled The Bar Social Tap & Gin Bar; open on Friday and Saturday evenings, plus bank holidays, it has a similar feel to the main bar, except a bit more plush, and concentrates on "craft keg" beers from breweries such as Beavertown, Burning Sky and Goose Island. It can also be hired as a function room.
