Gatesheed drinking



A mile !!!!?????

As others have said station east, the central, by the river, bridge are all canny.
It ain't that far by taxi I said a mile or so and a few pubs close together, belle vue etc, not much bother either round there really, and something different to the quayside etc
 
The Scooner just down from Gateshead Stadium is a cracking pub, not a million miles from the College

I went to Gateshead College for my A levels many years ago and was about to laugh at your post. I forgot that the college has now moved. I should really have known as the company I now work for did design work on the new one:oops:.

Central and then Bridge is a very good shout. The Station East over the road from the Central is also decent.

The college has moved? Not on old Durham road anymore like? Christ is been a while since I was along that end then:eek: Did my sparks tickets there many moons ago:lol:
 
Most of Gatesheed is rough mate, aye that used to be rough there. Used to be a bar called Curlys, swear to god it was like a fckin circus.

I used to play pool for the Gloucester back in the day (around the late 80's). We used to go to Curly's about 7pm on a Saturday for the fight as there was almost always a punch up in there about that time in the early days of all day drinking. Ironically the pub was named after Curly who was a Gateshead boxer from the early 1900's. Some proper rough pubs around Gateshead high street in those days, but there were some good people around as well.

The old College on Durham road is now houses and apartments. The college is now down near the Tyne where the old Abattoir used to be.
 
Aye her shop was next door and upstairs.
There was also a late bar on Jackson st, used to be known as dazzlers or Bobbys. I think it was officially called Bobbys roundhouse. Was sights to behold in there of a weekend. Was some good pubs though as well, the Gloucester was a favourite of mine. Not sure how many are left now, was a lot of pubs in Gateshead back in the day.

Me and my now wife spent many a night in there in the late 80's. If you went there and the Gloucester I probably know you by sight mate. Like I said Gateshead was always rough, but there were some decent people as well and to be honest, I am a working class lad from Leam Lane, if it gets too fancy I feel out of place;)
