The Newcastle pubs which CAMRA has put in the Good Pub Guide

Pubs will be allowed to open from July 4 after three months of coronavirus closures.

It is up to pubs themselves to decide on when exactly they will open. Some may serve again from Saturday July 4, others may wait a little longer.

Although some breweries and pubs have managed to already open to takeaway customers, most have not and it's been a long wait for a pint.

When things are back to normal, those seeking the perfect pint could do well to take advice from The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), whose 2020 Good Beer Guide includes 23 Newcastle pubs.
