Cafés and pubs noted for having good views of the Tyne usually put Newcastle's landmark bridges in their visitors' eyelines.
Ouseburn's Free Trade Inn has been highlighted in the national press for that very reason recently, while many while away hours admiring the Quayside from By The River Brew under the Tyne Bridge. However, there's one café a little further down river from which you can't see the Tyne, Millennium or Swing Bridges.
Instead, it offers a much more tranquil vista from its position, tucked away behind the bascule bridge at St. Peter's Marina in Byker. La Verne Vintage has billed itself as offering 'canny brews with canny views' since it opened during the Covid pandemic.
