The Howard Arms

You'll find yourself on the quieter end of Monkwearmouth's main drag, where The Howard Arms does what it does without fuss or Instagram theatrics. It's the sort of place where someone's probably been sitting in the same spot since lunchtime, where the landlord knows what you drink before you ask, and where the conversation actually matters more than the décor. Walk in and you're stepping into the fabric of this neighbourhood—sticky carpets, worn leather, and the kind of honest pub atmosphere that's increasingly rare.
