As a geordie living abroad I loved this video, it brought back so many good memories of pre and post match drinks with family and friends. Tilley's and The Bodega were my Dad's favourite haunts but when I went to match days with my mates we tended to drink around The Gate. There's a bar for every age, tatse and preference in Newcastle! I miss it so much. This video has convinced me to visit home sometime this season for a match day.

Brilliant Eddie, a proper nostalgic look for us ex pats. I used to go to the Newcastle Arms and Rosie’s. I remember standing in Rosie’s on the day Keegan came back to manage and seeing the queues build up on the open end of the Gallowgate at 1 o’clock!! Sold out by 2 o’clock. Nowadays I tend to head for either Shearers or the Terrace as I only get a couple of times a year due to living abroad. Take care mate and keep them coming

Loved living in the Toon in the 1980's and had a season ticket in the Ardiles and Jim Smith eras. Frequented the Tyneside Irish Centre. Fabulous place. I couldn't do pre match drinking nowadays though (unless I was happy to miss large chunks of the action). I love to get back to the Toon so have kept note of all the bars - what a pub crawl that would be, you'd need a week! Use them or lose them though I'd say - there's a terrible attrition rate in that trade these days.

Sheffield United's Bramall Lane is probably the nearest competitor to St James. It's next to the city centre, so there are 50 to 100 pubs within a quarter to half a mile. Also Sheffield is the real ale capital of England, having the biggest choice of beers with many micro breweries operating in and around Sheffield.
@TynesideLife7 ай бұрын
Well, I’m going to challenge you on that one bud, and not in a way to come across as a bit funny. I was at Bramall Lane recently and did two videos. I went into two of your Home Only pubs in my Newcastle top but also had a good wander around the area as I was shooting. I’d be very surprised if there was more than 20 pubs around Bramall Lane and only because it’s a little bit outside of the city centre. So, in the interests of friendly research, could you count them within a 1/2 mile radius and see what the actual figure is and let me know? 👍🏻
