The popular father died from stab wounds to the chest last March.
Four men have gone on trial in connection with his death.
Mohammed 'Mo' Nasser, 44, of Kirkby Lane, and Martyn Bruce, 38, of Courtybella Gardens, both Pill, are accused of murdering Mr Bullock at the bar.
The prosecution allege the two men went to the pub wearing Scream horror film masks and murdered Mr Bullock with a samurai sword.
Mo Nasser's brother, Abdul 'Sammy' Nasser, 39, of Bassaleg Road, Newport, is also charged with murder.
He is accused of supplying the alleged murder weapon.
Mohammed 'Ziggy' Abbes, 50, of Cardiff Road, Newport, is also on trial for assisting an offender by allegedly hiding Mo Nasser, Kent and Bruce at a 'safe house' in Pill's Ruperra Street.
The four deny the charges.
Aaron Kent, 24, of Livale Court, Bettws, Newport, has pleaded guilty to Mr Bullock's murder.
As well as visiting Harvey's bar, the jury went to key sites mentioned during the trial.
