Newcastle Quayside Pub Tour

This special Newcastle upon Tyne pub tour blends rich local history, spectacular riverside scenery, and some of the city’s best-loved pubs into one memorable walking experience. It’s the perfect way to discover Newcastle like a local — relaxed, friendly, and full of great stories.

Begin in the historic heart of the city, enjoying carefully chosen pubs as we make our way past the Castle that gave Newcastle its name and down towards the River Tyne. Along the route, you’ll hear how this once-industrial powerhouse grew into one of Britain’s most vibrant and characterful cities, shaped by coal, shipbuilding, trade, and generations of proud Geordies.

The walk will lead you into the world-famous Quayside, widely regarded as one of the most iconic nightlife districts in Britain. With its sweeping river views, striking modern architecture, and legendary bridges, it’s an area packed with atmosphere by day and electric with life by night. There are countless opportunities for photographs as the river, bridges, and skyline unfold around us.

Then cross the magnificent High Level Bridge — famous not only as an engineering masterpiece but also as one of the very best viewpoints in the city. From here you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Tyne, the Tyne Bridge, the Millennium Bridge, and the surrounding cityscape — a real highlight of the tour.

The experience continues just across the river in Gateshead, where our final pub awaits, offering a different perspective on the city and a perfect place to relax and reflect on the journey.

Every pub you visit includes a complimentary drink, allowing you to fully enjoy each stop without worrying about ordering or rushing. This is a private experience taken entirely at your own pace — whether you’d like time for photos, conversation, or simply soaking up the atmosphere. The tour feels less like a formal guided walk and more like exploring with a knowledgeable local friend.

Join the Newcastle Quayside Pub Tour for unforgettable views, fascinating stories, warm hospitality, and a great selection of traditional pubs. It’s a pub tour to remember — and a wonderful way to experience the true spirit of Newcastle.
