Little Bar - Big Impact - Huge Heart

September 4th 2011

The 'Tyne-y' pub in the crook of the elbow of the Ouseburn and the River Tyne is the cutest little pub you'll ever encounter. It's a Real Ale bar, a 'Good Geordie Grub' bar, a Music Bar. It has an open air stage. It has the natural acoustics of the Glasshouse Bridge. It's near all the Geordie attractions. It's a little bar with a big chunk of something for everyone. IT'S THE TYNE BAR!
