Popular Victorian real-ale pub, originally the Black Bull Inn, bought by Sir John Fitzgerald and re-opened in 1995 as The Bodega. Inside it has a traditional Tyneside long bar, Victorian stained glass domes and elaborately tiled floors. Awarded Tyneside Real Ale Pub of the Year in 2014 by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
Newcastle's 'new' co-op was built on Newgate Street in 1932. Although 'art decor' in style, it gave more than a nod to Egypt where Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb had just taken place. See http://www.timmonet.co.uk/html/newcastle_co-op.htm
