Centurion

Created in 1893 as Newcastle Central Station's first class waiting lounge and refreshment room and Grade 1 listed. The sumptuous decoration includes walls and columns clad with full-height faience by Burmantofts of Leeds. After several years of misuse as storage facilities, it was reopened as a bar in 2002. It has lost a previous ceramic bar counter but retains a tile-clad skylight, terrazzo floor and marble and tiled fireplace. There is also a small snug. Meals are served and a range of real ales and ciders.
