I'm about as dedicated a smoker as they come, but I've found that the smoking ban has been sooooooooooo much easier to deal with than I was expecting - I was just about ready to swear off pubs altogether when it came in, but in reality I just spend half the night stood outside talking to people who I probably wouldn't have done otherwise...
I've pretty much given up on the centre of Newcastle these days (save the Head of Steam in that valuable "open past 1 and doesn't charge to get in" slot), but just about all the establishments in Ouseburn (about half a mile out the city centre) are worth their weight in spirits, with the esteemed Tanners being the pick of the bunch...
