Late afternoon and time for a pint before catching our Lumo home. Relaxed and comfortable station waiting room.

Mid evening - busy - impressive decor. Got into a "discussion" with a local who didn't understand why there were so many different beers - "wine for taste - beer for thirst" was his point of view.

Late evening visit. Pub probably not at its best with dim lighting, loud dance music and just the last few customers of the day.

A superb location with access from the street and the main railway station. My first visit here, and one to which I am likely to return on my next visit to Newcastle.
