Comic Con North East will be running 9am-6pm each day celebarting the best comic books and comic book culture.Pub crawls have become synonymous with uni students and can somewhat act as a right of passage for many; from the Otley Run in Leeds to the Monopoly Crawl in London, they offer variation and a non-stop party; but all are inferior against the Newcastle Metro pub crawl. Taking all the things us men love most in this world and piling them into one awesome venue, this bar is ideal for a few quick pints before taking your taxis, talking about how “that bar was bloody epic! In 1290 the burgesses petitioned the King regarding North Shields and succeeded in suspending the export of coal, as well as other trade, from the new settlement. The ACCC took the NSW Ports consortium, which operates Port Botany and Port Kembla, to court in 2018, alleging deeds in the ports’ sale agreement were “anti-competitive and illegal”. Add a healthy amount of cocktails, lagers and “haven’t heard it for ages” tunes to the mix and you’re in for one hell of a night.

This move was aided in 1583 when Queen Elizabeth leased the ex-palatinate mines of Gateshead and Whickham to two Newcastle merchants, Henry Anderson and William Selby, who in turn apportioned them to the leading Hostmen.In October 1644, Scottish troops captured Newcastle after an eight month siege, then occupied Northumberland and Durham for two years, levying taxes from the coal trade to pay their costs.

A Comic Con is an event (the ‘con’ is short for convention) where comic book fans can get together to celebrate the culture of comic books. The desire of the Newcastle burgesses to monopolise trade on the Tyne led to a dispute with the Prior of Tynemouth regarding the shipment of coal from nearby settlement of North Shields, which was owned by the priory.Oriental décor is the law in this subtle yet stylish bar, with Chinese lanterns lighting up the orchids growing in the cracks between the bricks, as well as the party-loving people throwing shapes in the “sneaky disco”. Branching off from For the Love of Sci-Fi we have also made UK Comic Cons another one of our major brands, hosting the cities official Comic Cons in Liverpool, Edinburgh and now we are also hosting the flagship Comic Con for Manchester as well as brand new events in Northern Ireland, Wales and Aberdeen with even more territories to be announced. Not only are their manly alcoholic concoctions award-winning, but they’re served up in one of Newcastle’s classiest looking bars. At the event, comic fans are given the opportunity to socialise with one another, and meet a variety of special guests, including creators, experts and characters. In practice, the Hostmen owned the "keels", large boats that were used to transfer the coal from the riverbank to the waiting colliers that were moored downstream.
