Description

Description

Prior to closing the Earl of Pitt St had a strong following and was renowned for its excellent food and great pints. Highly rated on TripAdvisor it was one of the best bar/restaurants in Newcastle upon Tyne.

A stones throw away from St James' Park, home to Newcastle United, the pub was extremely popular venue on Match days.

This red brick street corner local, which dates back to late Victorian times, is the last remaining pub at the old Newcastle Brown Ale brewery site and resonates character - with its "Alfred Hitchcock meets Vivienne Westwood" style of décor it is well presented throughout.
