Hidden under the Glasshouse Bridge where the River Tyne meets the River Ouseburn, you’ll find the Tyne Bar. Having been a staple of Ouseburn Valley for over 30 years, the Tyne Bar is best known for its live music, immaculate vibes and its iconic beer garden located under the bridge (which is home to the best disco ball in all of Newcastle in my opinion!)

For the past few decades, the Tyne Bar have been running Free Food Tuesdays. If you spend £7 at the bar anytime between 7pm-9pm on a Tuesday, you are rewarded with a free meal. Simple as! No confusing T&Cs. No secret charges. No nonsense.

The meal changes weekly with it being announced on the Tyne Bar’s Facebook page the week prior. Previous dishes have included chicken tikka masala, firecracker chicken with prawn crackers, and penne bolognese. The Tyne Bar are also able to provide vegan and gluten free alternatives so there’s no reason for anyone to miss out.

The Tyne Bar also do Burger Thursdays. In a similar vein to Free Food Tuesdays, you can buy a pint of Sam Smith’s Taddy Lager or Anarchy Brewery’s Blonde Star and a homecooked burger for just £9.95. With so many great options, there’s something for everyone!

With the cost of living crisis continuing to hit students the hardest, deals like this are ones not to miss. It’s a great way to have a few drinks with your mates whilst also allowing you to enjoy a fresh, homecooked dinner instead of having a ready meal for the ninth day in the row.

Local bars and pubs such as the Tyne Bar are also hit hard by the cost of living crisis. Therefore, supporting your local pub is crucial, especially through their deals and discounts. A few pints in exchange for a full meal is great and it’ll be better food than whatever microwaved debris Wetherspoons will be serving. Don’t get me wrong, I love a Wetherspoons and it can be easy to be enticed by chain pub deals, but you can’t beat your local, especially if it’s the Tyne Bar.

For good food, good drinks, great deals and even better vibes, get yourself down to the Tyne Bar. Go on, treat yourself!
