Low Fell is home to numerous public houses.
The New Cannon was established on Durham Road in 1826 and soon became something of a social hub for the village, hosting travelling troupes, lessons in quadrille dancing and hosting plays from visiting theatre as early as the 1820–30s.
So successful was the New Cannon that in those formative years it "monopolised trade on the new major route and was, in fact, the centre of village life".
The Cannon Inn still survives today, along with other public houses such as the Black Horse on Kells Lane, the Buck (now The Beaconsfield) on Beaconsfield Road (formerly Buck Lane), the Crown (now the Tap at Carters Well) and the Gateshead Arms on Durham Road.
All of these venues were in existence prior to 1858.

The suburb was also once home to a pair of cinemas; the Classic and the Capitol (confusingly, this cinema was also later named 'The Classic').
The original Classic was located on Kells Lane and was opened in 1928, whilst the Capitol was located on Durham Road and opened in 1936.
Both closed prior to the turn of the 21st century.
