Early evening and it is busy in here – I found a seat under the lovely skylight at the rear of the pub.

Tyne Bank - Silver Dollar
4.90
Golden ale. Floral nose and thin head. Full of ripe fruit initially but ends astringent with bitter hop finish. Need another pint to judge as there was a lot going on in this one.
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.
