Large long pub with a side bar to the right. Lots of little drinking areas/booths. I liked it in here, not overly full, but a good range of drinkers.

Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Kipling5.20ExcellentComing towards the end of the barrel, so lacked a certain taut freshness, but still wonderful.

Was going to go in Tilleys first but some local nutter was walking towards us shouting at passers by so we nipped into Bodega as it was closer. Odd feel to the place as it was rather spaceous with most people hidden away in booths.

The pub is found in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE1 4AG.

From the outside this looks like a small traditional pub. However the interior is rather large and has the feel of a Wetherspoon's crossed with a patio. There is a lovely glass dome in the centre of the roof above the central room.

We have visited this pub 32 times, seen 61 different beers and tried 43 of them.
