Duke Of Northumberland (The Clock)

Walk past the imposing clock face on Clayton Street and you've found something that actually feels like Newcastle — no pretence, just a proper neighbourhood pub that's been pulling pints since before most of us were born. Inside, there's the kind of warmth you get from wood panelling, worn leather, and regulars who know their way around the bar. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint for hours without anyone making you feel like you're taking up space, whether you're catching a match, meeting mates, or just escaping the madness of the city centre for a bit.
