The oldest pub in Newcastle is worth visiting just to have a look at the stained glass window. The bar must be one of the smallest in the city - and as narrow as a railway carriage. The snug at the front has a much more natural and traditional feel than those manufactured in a lot of pub refurbishments. The beer is good and the atmosphere friendly. The pub is popular with business people, students and people seeking a refuge from the more trendy venues nearby on the Quayside. The Crown Posada is not old and quaint because someone designed it that way, but just because it is that way. Posada, incidentally is Portuguese for "resting place". The pub was apparently once owned by a Portuguese shipping merchant.
