Hancock Pub

Cheap and cheerful — typical student bar that gets rammed during term time. You also struggle for seating on warmer days — although they do have a fair sized beer garden.
They are a part of the ‘Scream’ chain, and I think it’s the only one in Newcastle. You get what you pay for!
Beer is nice and cheap too — great place for starting a night out!

i do like this place. a very studenty pub but the music is always great and the atmosphere is good. i don’t go here as often as i should. the prices are also solid.

If you like to drink cheap alcohol in a room that smells of puke, this place is for you. When I was last in on a Saturday evening, there were several identifyable pools of said vomit, left uncleaned amongst the other detritus.
Nice.

The Hancock is great, mega mega cheap. You can get yourself a pint for a £1 if you don’t mind carlsberg, or 1.50 for anything else (including bulmers on tap.) as long as you have your yellow card. When it’s busy you can get away without having one.
Food is allright too a cheap and cheerful welcome change from the usual greggs crap. The place reminds me of a student wetherspoons.
Most nights its pretty busy and has a really nice atmosphere. The jukebox has some decent tunes on it too.

If you’re a student that doesn’t mind eating at the McDonalds equivalent of bars then you’re gonna mmm love it. If this place attracted a more diverse crowd and changed the interior then I would consider going back. However, if you find yourself lost on freshers week and want to drink yourself stupid on reasonable prices then you must have found yourself in this place. Your friends will have turned up here and so will the rest of your class. The food is decent so you might aswell eat up while it’s cheap and cheerful. An ok atmosphere. Studenty like.

The Hancock is a fantastic pub right next door to the Newcastle University Library. It’s popular with students as it is situated on campus and it’s very cheap. They have a great outdoor area where you can sit in the sun and enjoy your drink whilst getting a tan (although that’s quite a rare occasion up north!). They serve basic grub but it does the job and it’s ideal if you are a skint student. You can book the upstairs area for private functions and I think it’s pretty affordable and a good location to have a party cos it’s easily reached from all areas of town.
The staff are friendly and always have a smile on their place although sometimes they forget to bring your cutlery with your meal and by the time you’ve managed to get someone’s attention, your food’s gone cold! The friendly atmosphere makes it worth it thought!
