| - My first mistake with this place was underestimating how long the walk from 18a Street to 27th street would take with 6 other intoxicated people, on slick sidewalks in the cold to get there.
We expected this place to be dead with the weather and its location, but it was packed, so much that we couldn't even find space to fit our party together at one table.
In retrospect, I should of realized that this is really the only pub for people living in this area without making the trek to Uptown 17th.
I think they named it Newcastle in order to get free accessories such as Newcastle lights and coasters.
FUN FACT: Hardly anyone in England drinks Newcastle other than people in Newcastle and Geordies living outside of NC. It is fondly referred to as Newky Brown.
Going for an English pub vibe, they missed the mark, so many tv's! But it is nice inside with brick lining the inner walls and light fixtures your grandma would love.
Service was sparse, beer was expensive, the menu is made to look like a newspaper which is a cute idea except when you unfold it and it is newspaper size and it blocks out the sun.
We ordered deep fried pickles, calamari and nachos. All standard, nothing bad to say.
This place is fairly expensive for what it is, so I don't know if I will make the trek out again (at least not till summer!), but it will continue to do very well with its proximity to surrounding neighborhoods.
