Opposite the actual Monument, round from o2 shop, turn left when you come out of the metro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 The Companions Club is good, and doesn't mind little'uns coming in. It's just down from the Trent House (next to a newsagents), on Leazes Terrace (I think that's the street name) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Charles Grey. Fantastic place, the staff are particularly brilliant. They'd run out of gin last time I was there Like that as a pre-match pub because you can look out the window down at the momument, which seems to be a magnet for hilarious mental folk. Watching a tramp dance to a peruvian band is always good entertainment on a saturday morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 We get plenty of the mentalists coming in as well, like. Fantastic entertainment sometimes. If you go upstairs in the actual bar you can see right into St. James' - well the entirety of L7 at least - absolutely love that view. One floor up again to the bit of the building that doesn't get used (crying shame as there's an empty flat up there) and the view is obviously even better.

Rich Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I love the Charles Grey. Much better than when it was the poor-man's-Hard-Rock-Cafe. FMs, was it? Is the basement bar ever going to open? I recall it being airless and grim, so I don't miss it like. I assume if it ever does, they'll kick out the black and white shirts again, though. It's open every night from about 7 til 12 (1am on Friday/Saturday). It's still grim, but cheap as fook and there's a refurb in the pipeline apparently. Also heard a few whispers it might be opening for match-going folk before/after home games, complete with dorty strippers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordie_Paul Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Aye it's still grim like, also you tend to stick to the walls and floor The Charles Grey is definitely a canny enough place to go for a pint before the game if you have a bairn.

Joey Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 For the record, I know it's not really the point of this thread but I do dislike the Charles Gray, trying to be something it's not, a few new tables, green paint and some faux trees doesn't make it any better.

Guest Heneage Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 We went to the Newcastle arms today, and bloke said me brother (15) couldn't stay he took some persuading and let us off, but still I dont get it, if i'm content for him to be there, and hes not drinking (He doesn't like the taste for starters) whats the problem?
