Rafferty's & No.33

You'll find yourself on Pink Lane—that slightly gritty strip between the city centre and Chinatown where things actually feel real. Rafferty's sits here unfussily, split across two levels, the kind of place where regulars genuinely outnumber tourists. It's not trying to be cool or ironic about being a pub; it just *is* one, the way Newcastle pubs should be. Grab a drink downstairs, head up if you need space, and settle in. The sort of spot where you lose track of time between rounds.
