Situated right across from Newcastle Central Station, The Head of Steam Newcastle has gained notoriety for hosting the best in up-to-the-minute music and is constantly recognised as being one of the best bars in the city. Combining both the bars welcoming atmosphere and warm surroundings with an emphasis on musical brilliance the Head of Steam Newcastle has proved a popular breeding ground for talent including early appearances from bands including the Arctic Monkeys, Maximo Park and The Futureheads.

The upstairs bar was refurbished in September 2015, and is packed with great craft beers, cask ales, sharing bottles, and beers from across the globe!

Facing the central railway station this is an unusual pub in that there's nothing on the ground floor.

Upstairs is the main bar with six cask beers, three real ciders and a good selection of continental draught beers.

Downstairs is one of the most popular live and recorded music venues in the city centre, no draught products in music venue, extensive range of cans and bottles.
