The Crow's Nest, a pub on Percy Street in Newcastle, has quietly become one of the city's best, thanks to an ever-growing number of 5-star reviews from customers.
The pub, at the Haymarket Metro end of Percy Street, is a favourite among Newcastle United fans for a pre-match pint or to debrief the action at St James' Park with a few jars and some hearty grub once the final whistle has blown.
Newcastle is full of brilliant boozers, whether for a few drinks after work with colleagues, a sup in historic surroundings, quality real ale or a more raucous affair that may or may not end up with karaoke.
Location and reputation
The Crow's Nest is located past the likes of The Three Bull's Heads, The Hotspur, Percy Arms and the now-shut Magpie (formerly The Goose). Its vicinity to St James' Park puts it right in the sight line of fans on their way to watch United, particularly those using the Metro to get to and from a match.
The pub, which isn't plastered all over social media, is sure to do a roaring trade on Sunday, when NUFC begin their 2026/27 Premier League campaign with a clash with Liverpool.
Customer praise
It's not just football supporters who have praised The Crow's Nest. It ranks highly on Trip Advisor for the Best Pub in Newcastle, with one happy customer awarding 5 stars and saying: "I cannot recommend this place more. Lovely staff, great pints and a cracking atmosphere."
Another 5/5 review declared The Crow's Nest to be 'One of the Best Pubs in Newcastle', with the reviewer commenting: "Have frequented this bar on many occasions and always look forward to a return visit. Easily one of the best bars in town."
The pub's charm and character have been mentioned in many reviews, reflecting the sentiments of many customers.
