Fitzgeralds

You'll find this Victorian beauty holding court on one of Newcastle's most architecturally stunning streets, and it fits right in with the grandeur. The dark wood and traditional pub fittings create exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when you're settling in for a proper session or hearty meal. The kitchen turns out solid pub classics without any pretentious twists – think well-executed pies, burgers that actually taste like beef, and Sunday roasts that'll sort you right out. It's part of the SJF group, which means consistent quality and staff who know what they're doing. The location draws a good mix of office workers, tourists doing the Grey Street architecture tour, and locals who appreciate a pub that hasn't been messed about with.
