The Cooperage dates back to the 13th Century and was known then as a rich merchants house only the Castle and its keep are older than this building. First records are from the 15th Century. This quaint magnificent building is now a pub/nightclub and is set on the famous Newcastle Quayside which of course is part of the fantastic Newcastle night scene. The pub has an excellent reputation for real ales. It also specialises in private hire for functions or corporate events. The Cooperage also has specific events on certain nights of the week.
