    Built in 1877 this is the oldest pub in Newcastle and has been the heart of the local music scene for the last 15 years. See local original acts here most nights.

    Plantation Hotel

    The Plantation is a pub at heart, so beer, live rock and decent steak are mainstays.

    Railway Friendly Bar

    This indoor-outdoor pub, aka 'The Rails', draws everyone from grey pensioners and lobster-red British tourists to acid-soaked hippies and high-on-life earth mothers. Its cosy interior is the old railway station. The front beer garden, conducive to boozy afternoons, has live music every night. The pub grub is excellent, so too the St Arnou beer on tap.

    Coast Hotel

    Formerly the Old Fitzroy Hotel, this place has been purpose-renovated to supply lovers of a lazy afternoon in a beer garden with a venue. It has landscaped decking and cool breakaway areas so you can kick back on a couch if the mood takes you. The food is great, too.

    Great Northern

    You won't need your fancy duds at this brash and boisterous pub. It's loud and beery with live music most nights and even louder when hosting headline acts. Live music almost nightly. Soak up the booze with a wood-fired pizza.

    The deck at this waterfront place, located in the trendy Honeysuckle precinct, is a perfect spot for a sundowner. A DJ takes centre stage on summer Sundays between 4pm and 9pm.

    Hoey Moey Pub

    The massive inner beer 'garden' gives a good indication of how much this place kicks off in the summer. Pool comps, live music (Wednesday to Sunday) and terrifying karaoke sessions are the norm.

    Beach House

    The enviable position right on the grassy water's edge makes this beautiful pub perfect for lazy afternoon drinks. As the wee hours draw near, folk fasten their beer goggles and mingle on black-leather couches inside.

    Beach Hotel

    The mothership of all pubs is close to the main beach and is shot through with a fabulously infectious atmosphere that makes everyone your best mate. There's live music and DJs some nights.
