Gothic Chic
Gotham is one of those bars that seems to get a bit of a cross section of the demographic. Though their main customers tend to be the twenty something crowd, there is often to be found a group of slightly older people in there. Being so close to the station its a good meeting bar, and the beer is reasonably priced and decent enough quality to make sure you don't mind having a quick couple in there before moving on elsewhere. The place is decorated in a mock gothic feel, with lots of ornate woodwork and candelabra all over the place, and authentic looking dungeon doors to lead you to the toilets.

A great black russian!
Gotham Town has been one of my favourite haunts since I was 21 (i'm a bit older now). It's decor is very gothic and there are some interesting stories displayed around the pub of ghostly goings on around Newcastle! The drinks are pretty cheap with an extensive list of cocktails (I love a black russian!) and cheap doubles. The womens toilets are rumoured to be haunted and I never go down there alone- is very creepy! They do reasonable food too – the curly fries are delicious! My only bugbear is how loud the music can be on a weekend – not the place to go on a Friday or Saturday for a chat but great for a dance! A variety of people drink in Gotham and it's never dull!

This place got me through college
Don't be fooled by its bland exterior; Gotham Town has more style and atmosphere than any other pub or bar that i know of. The interior has been designed to be a very gothic style and by that i don't mean as in for people who are 'goths', i mean in the traditional sense of the word. Think of that actual gotham city from Batman (not the more modern films) and you'll get the idea. They have some good food on offer and offer a huge range of drinks. I know of cheaper places but for a great setting, this is the place for me.

Batman Couldn't Make It
Gotham Town is nothing short of impressive when you get inside. On the outside, you could be forgiven for walking straight past it and not giving it a second glance or even remembering that it was ever there. Once you walk through the doors, you're greeted by a place with more style than you can shake a stick at. The place is very gothic in appearance and gives it a very olde worlde feeling. This is something I consider to be a bit of a hidden gem. I strongly urge you to go in for a drink. Staff and customers are all friendly and they even do meals which are very nice.
