Newsham Hotel in Blyth

Ah, the Newsham Hotel – it's one of those unpretentious local haunts that you stumble upon and end up returning to for the genuine feel. From what I've gathered, the staff are absolute gems, always greeting you with a smile and serving up well-kept beers that go down a treat. The atmosphere is spot on, especially with things like buskers night that bring a bit of excitement and get everyone joining in. There's a good pool table and jukebox too, making it ideal for a relaxed evening with friends. On the flip side, it does seem like it's lost some of its sparkle recently – no fresh reviews in ages, and being closed one day a week might put a damper on plans. Plus, without a website, it's not the easiest to keep tabs on what's happening. All in all, if you're after a straightforward, friendly pub experience in Newsham, it's worth a go, but it might not be the place for a big night out just yet.
