Quick info
About Rosie's Bar
Rosie's Bar is a pub at 2 Stowell St in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with a first-floor roof terrace that looks out over St James' Park and Chinatown. Inside, heads hang above the bar, tiles are dotted around the walls, and moving puppets and other artefacts are on display. The bar pours cask ale, including Timothy Taylor Landlord and Tyneside Blonde, alongside a wide choice of drinks that includes wine. The pub stands near the football ground and gets busy on match days, and the upstairs space is set up for watching the match. Groups can book a table or the whole first floor with a drinks package. Regular evenings built around spirits, and around wine and cheese, are announced on its Facebook and Instagram pages.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the selection of drinks, naming a good pint of Tyneside blond, Timothy Taylor Landlord, and a Châteauneuf du Pape red that surprised one visitor. Close behind is the atmosphere, described as buzzing on match days near St James' Park, with a roof terrace praised for its view and unusual decor such as heads above the bar, interesting tiles and artefacts on display. Several call it a lovely, classic local pub with cheerful regulars, and one mentions the moving puppets and the backwards clock that no longer goes backwards. Staff come up repeatedly as pleasant and friendly, and on one busy night a bartender served quickly and talked through wine options. One reviewer says prices are great for the city centre and matchdays, and another calls it a place to host events and get togethers. No recurring complaints appear in the reviews. A few say they plan to return, and one would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.
