The County

You know the type: wood-panelled walls, a bar that's seen a few decades, and enough regulars nursing their pints to make you feel immediately welcome. The County sits right on Gosforth High Street, the kind of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself because people just… know. It's the place you end up after work with mates, or where you'll catch a match without it being a massive fuss. Food's straightforward—proper pub grub rather than anything fancy—and the Greene King range means you're never hunting about for what's on tap. It's got that lived-in quality that makes it feel less like a venue and more like someone's local.
