"I love pubs! How many times do you hear that? I only properly discovered them 18 years ago because in France, although we have our cafes, they are nothing like pubs. I fairly quickly categorised them because when you think about it, they are all different. The best description for me for this one is a town pub full of character. I discovered it thanks to a friend and started going to hold a French Conservation group. I have only had drinks so far and believe me if you are after reasonable prices you have to go to the Gladstone. I have recently paid £2 in another place for a soda and lime. Here they charge you £0.30. And before you ask, no, it's not because it's served in a shot glass. When you enter the premises you will notice first the space. It has got room but you also can decide to sit in a smaller area. There is a fire place which is really nice especially at this time if the year. I went last Saturday to meet with a friend and we decided to have something to eat. If you want a night out but your are on restricted budget this is the place where to go. Ok the menu doesn't give you a massive choice as some do but in fact think about it, it won't take you too long to make your decision. The choice is good and the prices quite low. If you are vegetarian they certainly have thought about you. I am not but to be fair I've always wondered why the choices seem to be so restricted for those who are when eating out? I ended with the chilly beef and cheese. I like the fact you can choose to have it with rice or bread. The serving is good and I really enjoyed it. It was very tasty. The staffs work hard, are very pleasant and easy to interact with which is exactly what you want in a pub. It's a place with great atmosphere. And if you enjoy watching tv in a pub this is certainly the place where to go. It was a very reasonable and enjoyable night out. I'll be back!"

"There are two Head Of Steam Pubs in Newcastle, one down Quayside and this outlet on Neville Street ,we visited both and I thought this one was the best even though their other outlet is brilliant. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, the interior is superb, wood panelled walls,a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, tv's to enjoy the sport, eclectic decor and furnishings, nice wall art and there's plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its a very cool Head Of Steam Pub outlet. We were here on a Friday, we had just had a great day/ night out in Durham visiting the great pubs in that beautiful town ,we arrived here well after midnight and this pub was packed with a great atmosphere, a quick study of their beer range and we both opted to have a pale ale each, these were served in pristine condition, we just kicked back, chilled out and soaked up the great atmosphere in this busy and popular pub. The pale ale served in here was spot on, a well balanced pale ale, hints of citrus, a big hit of hops, very pleasant on the tongue, so easy to drink, a totally refreshing brew on a hot night, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and soaking up the great vibe in this pub. We ended up staying here for a couple of hours ,we enjoyed another pale ale each and a nice German beer that was out of this world, we couldn't fault anything about our visit here, great staff, wonderful pub and a great range of well kept beers, when we are back in Newcastle again its a pub we will most definitely revisit This Head Of Steam Pub is easy to locate along Neville Street facing Newcastle Central Station. Opening hours are; Monday Tuesday, Closed. Wednesday Thursday, 5pm till 2am. Friday Saturday, Midday till 3am. Sunday, 5pm till 2am. A wonderful Head Of Steam Pub, most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area."

My pale ale was really good, a crisp, well balanced pale ale, hints of toffee and a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a slight bitter finish, a classic pale ale so tasty and refreshing on such a glorious evening, my twin brother Stephen also gave me a thumbs up to his pale ale.
