Still miss the old rockers bars, Farmers Rest, Haymarket, Broken Doll etc and of course the irreplaceable Mayfair. Nothing these days comes close! Guess I'm just getting old!!

[@kopynd1]

no your not getting old the younger gen are clueless

Very true, many a great night

[@LeeStewart]

I loved the Tuxedo Princess and Baja Beach Club on the Gateshead quayside, both of which are gone and have been for a while. I also miss the Bigg Market scene in the 2000's, which has also gone.

[@boogalaloopala2738]

The reason pubs are popular in Dublin, because they didn't tear the heart out of their pubs for between the past 40 to 60 years like Newcastle has done. Don't destroy heritage!

[@TynesideLife]

Newcastle is still one of the most popular destinations in the UK for a night out. We should feel very proud and we still have a pub dating back to the 1500’s 🤛🏻

[@boogalaloopala2738]

@@TynesideLife Have you seen the state of the former Barlew Mow on City Road, one of the best pubs up until it was destroyed by the corporate pub chain bars, the mid 90's, and ultimately left to rot. Sad.

Good reason to visit the georgous toon again Just got back and miss it already,gladly i got your content eddy

As a dublin man who loves his Guinness and the toon , hopefully be nice guinness, be checking it out when over for matches. As for any toon fans traveling to Ireland , avoid the temple bar at weekends, packed and ripoff,alot better places. Be looking forward to see the finished pub

[@MrCharlesWidmore]

You’d remember Des Hamilton from Ballymun that set the Toon alight all them years ago? 😃 ☘️

[@RushfanUK]

Temple Bar is a tourist trap, if you want real Irish pubs then you need to get out of Dublin and off the tourist trails, I visit Ireland regularly as my dad was from County Clare and I have family there, Dublin is a bit like London not really a true reflection of the rest of the country, places I like to visit are Wexford, Middleton, Limerick, Ennis, Galway and best of all Westport along with many places in Clare.

[@TynesideLife]

[@MrCharlesWidmore]

The Banner County, what a dedicated county mate with regards to Gaelic and Hurling…..pure athletes them lads are down there unlike our drunken bums around Belfast and County Antrim 😃 ps Tyneside Irish Centre is a great spot, was packed to the rafters for Alan Shearer and Peter Beardsley’s Testimonials against Celtic 👍

[@pauljames77777]

Looks it will be a great place to have a few Jars Eddie, God i miss the toon!

[@c411umc]

Nothing better than live music in every pub. Temple bar is fantastic but way over price for a drink. Hope this is even a little like temple bar and I’ll be more than happy. Hopefully a few proper Irish/Celtic singers in here.

[@peterdunngeordie]

Fantastic video! I’m living out in Melbourne, Australia originally from Gateshead. My parties irish and we’re travelling back for a few weeks in august so we’ll Defo be visiting when back.

€9 for a a Guinness in Temple Bar before the Garth Brooks concerts last September, some Polish boy served us too - didn’t even pull it right ffs 😢

[@Flukey_1970]

Ive heard you say before that you prefer to go out before the out out people turn out lol i am the same i prefer an afternoon sitting in the sun having a glass of pop. An Irish bar with live music and good food sounds good to me!

[@TynesideLife]

Me too Martin. I think it’ll be great 👍🏻

[@alanmaughan7968]

I had some great nights in Julies back in the day Eddie, it was common to queue for an hour at weekends to get in. Sadly now I wouldn't last the distance. Good info for those still capable!

[@TynesideLife]

[@melonycrumpet]

I worked at Julie’s back in about 1994, I think. Too long ago to remember exactly when. I could tell a few tales lol It was a dump inside when the lights were on! Luckily for me back in the day I never queued anywhere…. I think it’s easier for lasses though. Nowadays, I couldn’t imagine anything more awful going to a busy bar or nightclub!!!

[@adamgall3926]

Great stuff, can’t wait!! 🎉

[@jlen1185]

Funny story I was in Temple bar and asked the Irish folk singer if I could play because I knew the Blaydon races and he thought I was calling him a blatant racist. Luckily there were some other Geordies who explained what I meant haha

[@TynesideLife]

😂

[@MrCharlesWidmore]

Imagine having to phone Amanda Staveley to come and bail you out of the Garda Station 😂

I remember in the early 70's when the quayside was the domain for the hairy lads and girls. Rock music used to belt out from the Red House and the Cooperage which were always packed. I can still smell the Petulia oil now.

Is it going to be a bit like the Temple Bar you say?

[@livingonthetyne]

The brick work looks like it's coming apart on the outside, I hope they get that sorted so the place lasts a long time.

[@denisconor648]

Great stuff the Galway racing on the tv.

[@richiewong1]

I remember years ago queuing up to get into Julie’s on a Monday night, the Entertainers would frequent the place. Toilets were upstairs and after a few shandies, I fell down the stairs and was caught by Keith Gillespie. Good old days 😂

Not for me I’m afraid to say. Had many a good night in Julie’s. I’m no Peter Pan Eddy and i’m ageing gracefully but the only 2 places worth gannin on a Sunday now in my opinion are Hoochie Coochie and Cosy Joes ( strictly for my musical tastes ).
