Meldon Social Club Ltd

Head to Second Avenue in Byker and you'll find the kind of place that doesn't need to try too hard—it just is. The Meldon's got that unpretentious neighbourhood bar energy that's increasingly rare; the sort of spot where regulars have their usual and newcomers are welcomed without fuss. You're looking at a social club with genuine character, the type of venue that thrives on word-of-mouth rather than Instagram aesthetics. The 4.4-star rating speaks volumes from locals who clearly rate what's on offer here.
