Crown Posada, Newcastle has a 4.5* rating from 343 reviews. A TripAdvisor reviewer said: “Fantastic selection of cask ales in an authentic local pub. Jools, the local barman, was a delight and told us about the history of Newcastle. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the beers and recommended pleny of places for us to go as a couple. 10/10 will return to the Crown Pasanda when we’re next in the area.”
