The Old Post Office in Newcastle upon Tyne

The Old Post Office is a very lively pub that offer a well priced range of beers and was one of several pub's we visited in the Byker district of Newcastle. A proper local boozer that was really busy when we visited early in the afternoon and packed to the rafter's with many watching the horse racing and having a few pint's in this superb local boozer. The Old Post Office is unmissable as it has a Red Post Box as a pub sign and this pub has a red painted exterior.The inside has a traditional pub interior and superb seating options and we had no trouble looking for a seat. When here we had a Strongebow brewery cider which were very refreshing on a very warm day and well priced. The Old Post Office won't be to everyone's taste but I like pubs like this as they are full of local characters and local pubs like this are slowly disappearing across the Uk and whenever we get a chance we alway's visit these pubs as they bring me back to when I first started drinking in pubs. The Old Post Office is really easy to locate from Shields Road-Edwin Street bus stop it is a short walk.(This is my first review of the Old Post Office). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.00. Friday-Sunday-10.00-00.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Shields Road-Edwin Street bus stop.

Walking down Shields Road in Byker my twin brother Stephen and I decided to drop into The Old Post Office Pub ,a really good locals pub. A wonderful interior, tv's to enjoy the sport, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings including plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, a good old fashioned boozer. We were here on a Tuesday afternoon, pub was busy, we were greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of the bar team, we ordered a cider each, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and planned out the day ahead while sipping our cider's. On a hot afternoon a freezing cold cider certainly cut through the thirst, this cider was so tasty, so thirst quenching, a totally refreshing brew in a really good pub. We both really enjoyed our ciders in here before we moved on and although our visit was only fleeting for a first time visit to The Old Post Office Pub we had a great time. The Old Post Office Pub is easy to locate along Shields Road. Opening hours are; Monday to Thursday, 10am till 11pm. Friday to Sunday, 10am till Midnight. A wonderful pub, one I highly recommend you visit if you're in the area.
