The Old George Inn is Newcastle's oldest pub, dating from 1582 and tucked just off the Cloth Market near the Bigg Market — an iconic city-centre landmark once frequented by King Charles I. Now part of the Social Pub & Kitchen group, it serves sourdough pizzas and craft beer seven days a week and leans hard into weekend entertainment: Friday and Saturday nights bring live music and DJs to the outdoor courtyard, where the party atmosphere runs late. There's also a free-to-hire function room for private events and the full sports package on the screens. A historic, characterful pub that gives covers and party acts a lively weekend courtyard stage.
