Hotspur
The Hotspur, a classic double-fronted pub, is conveniently located in the heart of the city, directly across from both the Haymarket bus station and Eldon Square. Its prime location, near several universities, makes it a popular spot for locals and students alike. The pub is particularly bustling on match days, reflecting its vibrant community spirit. The Hotspur offers a variety of entertainment throughout the week. Every Monday night, patrons can test their knowledge at the pub quiz, while Tuesday nights are reserved for performances by the Newcastle University Folk Club. These events contribute to the lively and welcoming atmosphere that the Hotspur is known for. Recently, the pub underwent a refurbishment, enhancing its interior while preserving its traditional charm and character. The bar features six hand pulls, including one dedicated to real cider. This blend of modern amenities and classic pub ambiance ensures that the Hotspur continues to be a cherished gathering place in the city centre.
