#NewcastleUponTyne Dirty Murphys - Ex The Mushroom, Grainger Street Newcastle upon Tyne photographed 25th March 2026. dirtymurphysncl.com "Where the pints are mighty and the craic is at 90"

@TyneSnapper An amalgam of the 2 ‘Oirish’ bars that opened in the 90’s during the ‘BallykissTed’ phase of the trend for all things Irish. I remember Viz taking the piss out of them in ‘Student Grant’, Grant & his mates visit one saying “The Craic in here is powerful fierce, apparently.”

@TyneSnapper There was also ‘O’Neill’s’ opposite the Central station, which also jumped on the bandwagon.
