Built in 1893 as a sumptuous waiting lounge for first class passengers, a major feature being its exquisite tiling which is today worth £3.8 million. Closed in 1960s, when Transport Police used it as cells. Since being restored the grandeur of the John Dobson designed interior is now enjoyed by thousands of customers, locals, and visitors to Newcastle. Popular starting point for Whistle Stops II real ale outings. Deli next door.

The Centurion Bar on Newcastle Central Station is one of the most spectacular buildings you can visit in the city. It was not built as the busy bar it is today but, rather, was created in 1892-3 by the North Eastern Railway’s architect, William Bell, as the first class refreshment room. The walls were clad with full-height faience (glazed earthenware) by Burmantofts of Leeds and given a faience clad lantern. Even the columns have this ceramic cladding. Quite a place to start your train journey!

Conversion
Created in 1893 as Newcastle Central Station's first class waiting lounge and refreshment room and Grade 1 listed. The sumptuous decoration includes walls and columns clad with full-height faience by Burmantofts of Leeds. After several years of misuse as storage facilities, it was reopened as a bar in 2002. It has lost a previous ceramic bar counter but retains a tile-clad skylight, terrazzo floor and marble and tiled fireplace. There is also a small snug. Meals are served and a range of real ales and ciders.
This Pub serves 3 changing beers (guest ales usually locally sourced) and 1 regular beer.
