Our History
Our History is that we began our life as a Private Members club back in 2003. Our first premises were on the top floor of Carliol House. We built the bar ourselves, but with no lift that the members had access to and a huge 4 flights of stairs, we were worried about our older retired members making it to the bar in one piece. So after 2 years in the clouds, looking down onto ‘For Your Eyes Only’ we thought it was time to move on.
We soon found a potential new premises and it was a ‘proper pub’. The recently closed Callaghans Irish Bar, on the corner of Market Street and Carliol Street looked perfect. Once a deal was struck with the owners of the Premier Inn Hotel, who owned the premises we opened in March 2006. The committee worked tierlessly carrying all the equipment from the old club to the new premises but once we opened we thought we had the best pub in Newcastle. We’ve had many happy times in this club, giving a lot of our friends and colleagues a proper retirement send off, we’ve had great live band nights and comedy nights. However The Premier Inn informed us of their intention to relocate and we realised that it was time to move on.
Our move to the new premises is well documented on here. Our new premises is amazing. It has central heating and natural light, and the committee are very proud of what has been achieved.
In 2021 we incorporated into a Limited Company, Tyneside leisure Ltd, to protect the committee and the members, but we still trade as Northumbria Social Club.
The next chapter of ‘the club’ is yet to be written, and we’re hoping that our members will help us write it.
