About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Handy for matchdays: it’s about a 10-minute walk to St James’ Park and close to Haymarket Metro, so it works well for pre- or post-game meet-ups. The pub actively promotes live sport with multiple big screens and dedicated listings, creating a busy matchday atmosphere. Food is served daily, so you can grab something to eat around kick-off. Student-heavy and described as a neutral spot rather than a hardcore home pub, it’s typically a mixed crowd on football days.

Students rejoice for you have found your new favourite pub. I myself am not a student but this pub made me feel like one. In the best ways of course. The staff were super friendly the drink deals are great and though I didnt get food I noticed it was very reasonably priced and 2 for 1 pizzas in Newcastle is un heard of. The clientele though young and studenty were very polite. It's not breaking any moulds but what it does it does very well so bravo. Highly recommended for a boozy evening 👌 👍.
My first time visiting and I was here for the Superbowl party and it was a hit. Place was decorated with American flags and the staff were dressed in jerseys. Food was great and they put in the extra effort of creating specific Superbowl menus. Tables were spaced out to make sure that every seat had a good view of the various TVs. Would totally recommend this pub
We hired the upstairs part of the Hancock pub for my stepson's 21st party , from the first contact to booking the room to us all leaving just after 11pm the staff & manager made sure everything was done to perfection , if possible I would give 100/10 to the whole team who run this amazing establishment. The Hancock is a great place to come for a nice drink & food , the staff are friendly & helpful & ready to make sure your time there is the best ever , all the catering is done the kitchen staff & it shows just how good pub food should be , when the food was being served you could see it had been thought out so well & we were all extremely pleased with every aspect of the buffet from presentation to taste . The atmosphere inside is a very relaxed one & the whole place is a credit to all who work there to make it the success it is . I would have no doubts about booking the Hancock again & would recommend it to anyone who asked what it is like , the biggest of thank you's to all the staff there who made it a great night for us all ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Cracking pub and James service was top tier. Thank you the Hancock - you’ll have to drag me out by my ankles I’m having such a good time ‼️
The Hancock Pub in Newcastle is a relaxed, friendly spot with a great happy hour running from 5–8pm. The atmosphere was easygoin and perfect for unwinding, and the drinks were well made and good value. We especially enjoyed the Sex on the Beach cocktail, fresh, balanced, and very enjoyable. A solid choice for casual drinks in the city. would recomend
