Welcome to the website for South Gosforth Social Club.
South Gosforth Social Club has been in its present location for many years, starting off as a club in the original Laburnum Cottage before expanding into its present size. We joined the Working Men's Club and Institute Union (CIU) back on 17th November 1947
The club is supplied by Scottish Courage and carries a range of top class products such as John Smiths, LCL, Carling and Fosters Lagers. Guinness, Real Ale, Northumberland Smooth, McEwans Scotch and Cider are all stocked. We sell quality spirits: Bells, Grouse, Smirnoff, Bacardi and most other popular brands all in the larger 35ml measure. All of our prices are competitive and are aimed at giving good value for money.
