THE TYNE BAR, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE Alastair Gilmour, pub writer

This riverside favourite basks in the sun near where the Ouseburn flows into the Tyne. It features two outdoor areas; one’s a suntrap, the other affords cover under the arch of a bridge in case of rain. The pub’s laid-back approach is sustained by local beers from Almasty, Wylam and Two By Two breweries, weekend live music

(when available) and an ever-unfolding menu. thetyne.com
