One of the Czech Republic’s most famous exports is heading to the North East with the reopening of the Union Rooms in Newcastle. Staropramen tank beer will be available at the bar, following a multi-million pound facelift to include a new pizza restaurant, private dining area and – unusually – a barber’s shop.
