The 48 best Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom breweries and craft beer

What a fantastic roast dinner. One of the best I’ve ever had. Beef cooked to perfection. Giant yorkshires and the red cabbage was something special. The best bit? The doggo din dins. 🐾

Great little gem in the centre of Newcastle. We didn’t pre booked (which I highly recommend), but staff was very accommodating to find us a table. Food was excellent, great selection of local Gin and Ales. No blaring music is great bonus.

Nice clean pub. Has an upstairs beer garden. Didn’t try the food, but has a good pint of Guinness.

Amazing Steak Ciabatta, lovely staff and great drinks. Most definitely will be back.

Nice mixed sunday roast (beef, Pork, chicken) With mash, Yorkshire pudding, gravy, veggies.. For 20£ - IPA 7£ Ordering at 17h30, it was sad they told us we could not get dessert anymore as the kitchen was closed when we asked for it at 18h20 while noone asked if we wanted some.. Friendly waiters.

Love this place. Lovely food, kind staff and great atmosphere. I always come back. It has two floors, and two terraces. Good for walk-ins and you can also reserve tables. Very recommended

We went to The Bridge Tavern for lunch with our son. The two bartenders were very friendly and chatted to us. They were helpful in suggesting choices from the menu and yelling us about their experiences of Newcastle. Both of them were exceptional ambassadors for the town and for the pub. The food was lovely.

As brewery taprooms go this has to be by far the slickest one I’ve been in. The Taproom has the full range of Wylam beers including upto 4 cask options, the more informal terrace bar has just the craft. If unsure ask for a taster, they’re all top quality. The main hall is closed when private functions are taking place.

Visited Wylam Brewery for a roast dinner recently, choices were beef, pork, lamb or a veggie option. (£19). We also added a side of cauliflower cheese between 4 of us which was very good probaly best ive had. The roast with served with a big Yorkshire pudding, green veg, smashed roots, roasted parsnip and roast potatoes. Beef was really tender and well cooked, potatoes could have been slightly better. Service was mostly good except some confusion at start. Drinks a little expensive but it is their own beers that they brew, it's dog friendly and they have a lovely beer garden for after

Excellent place this! Located in a large park in walking distance from the city center. I have been hear before but this time i had decided to also try their sunday roast. I would recommend to book in advance if you want to eat on a Sunday. Beautiful area both inside and outside the brewery with plenty of seating. This time there also was two food trucks located outside the brewery. Good selection of Wylam beers on tap. There was also a few guest beers. Great service from all of the staff. Got to try the new Wylam x Wor Flags collab, really nice fruity low abv pale ale. They were officially sold out of cans of this one, but one of the waiters suddenly told me he had one 4 pack left if i would like to bring some with me home, so that was a really nice gesture👌 The food did not dissapoint either. I had the Duck Leg Croquette and Topside of Galloway Beef. Sunday roast is my favourite british dish and this was top class 👌

Celebrated a family get together for Sunday lunch, staff were polite and very helpful. The service was paced well for us though we did run over our time slot which didn't appear to be a problem. We pre ordered our meals as there was 15 of us and food was lovely and not excessive.

We had Sunday dinner at Wylam Brewery and were really impressed. The pork was well-cooked, the cauliflower cheese was spot on, and the vegan dish was genuinely enjoyable. Everything was nicely balanced and the wine selection worked well with the meal. One of the best Sunday roasts we’ve had in a while.

Unfortunately the inside was closed but we sat outside instead for a pint and a burger, lovely place to spend a few hours outside the busy and loud city center

This venue does not allow cars/taxi to drop you off at the door and therefore a long walk, in the pitch black to the door. Certainly not something I would have done if I was on my own as it does not feel safe. There was a shuttle bus (golf buggy) but it took too long to do each journey. Venue itself is beautiful and well looked after with a good range of drinks.

I’ve been here a number of times but never eaten. Firstly, the beer selection is outstanding and is matched by a smart and welcoming service team who were attentive and friendly. I’d never eaten previously, though had always been tempted. This time we tried the Sunday dinner ordering both the lamb and beef brisket. Sadly, the food was cold on both of our plates and lacked the seasoning to make it truly pop. I’d absolutely be back for more of their beer, but would be cautious to eat again. A welcome mainstay in Newcastle.

Sunday dinner (Beef and Chicken) were both brilliant. Everything fresh and piping hot. Yorkshire puddings were huge. Priced well and a huge selection of drinks to have. Would recommend and will be back to try some of the other food available

I’ve been to this pub a few times before and always enjoyed their homemade skin-on chips, so I was looking forward to a good meal. Unfortunately, today’s experience was a huge letdown. I visited with two friends and ordered a burger (£15.50—not exactly cheap). Instead of the homemade chips I’d had before, it arrived with cheap, skinny fries, and the coleslaw listed on the menu was missing. When we asked the waiter about it, he bluntly told us they had run out. Fair enough, but I still paid full price for a meal that wasn’t as advertised. When I raised my concerns, the waiter was clearly annoyed. He offered me a drink (which I declined) and then said I could get a refund for the coleslaw at the bar. When we finished eating and went to the bar, we were told we’d get £1 back. To top it off, the girl at the bar tried to insist she had informed us they had run out of fries—yet none of the three of us had heard that. At least she apologised, which is more than I can say for the waiter. The beef brisket in the Reuben burger was dry, and to make matters worse, we had to wait at least five minutes after getting our food just to receive cutlery. The whole experience felt disorganised and unprofessional. Wouldn’t eat here again, which is a real shame as we had planned to come back for Sunday lunch. Safe to say we’ll be going elsewhere.

Great pub, relaxed atmosphere & good music. Food is always fantastic quality. Brilliant place to wind down with a few pints on a Friday night.

The food was quite lovely. Amazing atmosphere and working crew.

Went here to do a brewery tour that had been bought as a gift for my Dad. We were greeted and served our first beer of 6 with the owner (Lee I think?) taking time to understand what beers we liked. This continued throughout our time here and we enjoyed another 5 beers along with a really informative talk about the history of the brewery and local history, learning loads around the processes. We were joined by more family and decided to stay and eat in the kitchen which was located downstairs, having seen the menu and food which all looked really good. We were impressed with the quality of everything ordered and are keen to go back to try the Sunday lunches. With over 20 beers on tap along with a full menu of other drinks, theres something for everyone. The atmosphere is really good and a great use of what is essentially an industrial unit. Great place and will definitely be back for drinks and food.

Little bit on pricey side apart from that perfect. The young tall lad behind the bar knew his stuff. I loved how all the drinks had descriptions above the bar. Cocktails were even on offer and wow the brisket tacos are something else. Small venue outside but beautifully situated

Very trendy busy rustic restaurant with attached cool bar. Popped in December enjoyed a drink from huge gin menu and booked Valtentines after spotting restaurant and food being served. Scallops, arincini 5/5, Chateaubriand looked amazing cooked perfect but went cold quick unsure if the board or just every time door opened rush of air hit our area. Manager and staff great and attentive drinks slightly slow but manager chased up. Definitely go back but sit in upper area away from door. Thanks guys.

The toast with the mushrooms was a huge sized portion. The mushroom flavor was creamy and bold. I had the sirloin as the main course and it was paired with red wine.The Black truffle butter sauce was unique and it complimented the steak. The chips were not super starchy, and the crispy texture had you reaching for the next one. The waitresses knew the menu, as I had questions about what to order. Oh and they were friendly.

Jessica was our server tonight and she was absolutely amazing .. food was delicious and plentiful .. definitely worth a visit if you're up in Newcastle

Great Sunday family early dinner, had Sunday lunch menu. Food was great as well as service. Nice, suitably quiet atmosphere despite being busy, easy to have a conversation. We came with kids, they were also really well catered for. One wheelchair user in our group, the restaurant is nice and spacious, it was easy to move around. There is one section level with the entry (where we were seated) and another section up 2 steps.

We had an amazing experience with a set menu dine in tonight. With lovely helpful staff (lily was very attentive throughout) Food was unreal.

Great food, quick service and helpful staff. Our server Hannah was especially good. Sunday roast is a must!

Hazel has been absolutely brilliant. Attentive to details but not overstepping. Food was delicious, we chose to go for a rib eye and a fillet steak, both cooked perfectly and accompanied by a lovely red wine. All in all, a great evening. Definitely “pleased to meet you”. Thank you, Hazel, for looking after us

Decent place located in a converted shop, with a good range of beers, including some super strength ones. Fair prices. Not that much atmosphere, but a good view of the street and passersby from the front window seats. A nice enough neighbourhood bar basically.

Elder Beer cafe is my favourite bar in Heaton. Amazing beer, including on tap the likes of Deya and Left Handed Giant - and in the fridge a tremendous selection including Beak. The atmosphere is always great and the service fantastic. The quiz on a Tuesday night is also a highlight. Nice little beer garden at the back. Go for a beer stay for the amazing vibes.

Wanted to try this place for a while. It did not disappoint! Fantastic range of drinks, simply sublime outdoor area. Looking forward to visiting again!

We took our sushi from Veganatomy over to Elderbeer to eat it there. Great collaboration! Lovely craft beer we were able to taste. If you are are around, pop in!

Really friendly cafe specialising in craft beer. I've always had a friendly welcome and its not an intimidating or off putting beer geek place. Having said that they know their onions. Stock shows both great knowledge and a love of contemporary beer styles with cans and bottles from local breweries, known craft beer names from across the UK as well as international including Belgian classics including Trappist, abbey and saison. They have eight draft lines and two cask now. As well as tap takeovers, they often have Deya beers on draft and a Rigg and Furrow on cask. There are always a variety of styles on draft and cask. The little beer garden to the rear is cosy and well sheltered to avoid showers. There is a piano for show offs but this adds character. It's a nice spot for a coffee or a beer, for meeting friends or on your own. In fact outs a good spot for solo drinking and you are not treated like you have two heads if thou just want a quiet pint or 2/3s by yourself. Also good for a take out can or bottle. They've teamed up with Flint Pizza down the road so thou can eat and they also have an arrangement with a local cheese company. A great addition to the burgeoning Chilli Road food and drink scene (If that is a thing!).

We visit Elder Beer most weeks - great selection of well kept beers served by amazing staff😁 We met some fab folk from Manchester on our visit tonight Beer was amazing as ever - always look forward to returning So lucky to have as our local bar is Xxxxxxxxx Great local bar with a fab selection of beers especially like bitters and dark beers. Great atmosphere, the service and bar staff are amazing especially Daniel and his great beer knowledge 😃x

It's a gem, whether it's American filter coffee and laptop, a hippy local beer, or a Irish stout in the backyard beer garden...or a Belgian geuze with friends. Elder has it covered

Busy pub, was at two of its spaces Clunny 2 and Clunny 1, full disabled access to all areas, staff were good, seating available in Clunny2 more of a standing venue in 1, but you can bring seats in from the bar, if you need to sit. Good car parking nearby.

What an absolutely amazing place. As a first time visit it was a bit maze like if you look around C2 as well with it's staircase but what a fantastic set up! Good selection if beers on cask and keg and a lovely looking pub. Then you go round the corner through what looks like a cupboard door and you are in a little music venue with it's own small bar. Brilliant atmosphere and absolutely loads going on, pretty much something every night. Absolute shining light for real ale and the music industry. (We saw Reverend Peyton and his Big Damn Band and they were superb.)

Nice bar with lots of drink choices. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Lots of seatting inside and out. Venue for bands is great. Decent sound and different capacity rooms available.

Lovely little venue, up close to the performing singers/groups...

Been here twice to see some live music. Very small gig room (can hold about 300 people) and it becomes hot very quick but still enjoyable! The drinks are on the pricier side but as to be expected. Overall good experience 🤩

Amazing food!!! Lovely vibes and friendly staff as well. Would recommend to anyone for a nice afternoon out.

This was a heck of a place, went to see Holy Moly and the Crackers here. Great non alcohol options, excellent vibe and a mosh pit. The staff were great, all was safe and I loved the decor, this place is seriously cool. I felt so like I was part of the ‘in’ crowd.

Fantastic venue! I was driving so couldn't sample a beer or two but it looked great. Really good choices including a few IPA and pale ales. Saw a few people eating and it looked good. Would definitely go here again!

Decent little pub/brewery. Bit cheap, but not crazy expensive (around £5.70 a pint on average). Great decor, very industrial feeling. Artisanal pizza are available via an in-venue pop up. I imagine it would be a great venue for bands, if the overheads aren’t astronomical.

Great gig venue for heavy metal and the ginger beer is great 🥹

Fantastic brewery with an impressive selection of beers on tap, served my the nicest folk. We've attended a few craft markets here and they are always great!

Venue is cool, quality selection of beers and food is amazing but the staff really made this. I popped in with my 4 year old (at her request honest) after clip and climb next door and they couldn’t have welcomed us more, really engaging, welcoming, knowledgeable and hospitable. Like old school publicans and a far cry from your usual current day venue experience. Definitely worth a visit.

I was very fortunate to be invited to my nephews wedding yesterday 1/8/25 I have to say being of a certain age I was a bit sceptical about the choice of venue! I was happily proven wrong…… the whole set up and organisation was spot on, it is very rare to attend a function, in my opinion, where there appears to be skeleton staff, not here, there were plenty of staff behind the bar and so pleasant and attentive, a massive 👍👍👍they served tea and filter coffee, even decaf. The day just flowed and I’m sure everyone had a great time.

Fantastic Event... Itchy Boots Book Tour was inspiring..... A very well organised and well presented event.. staff were very attentive and delivered a Sterling service,

Visited yesterday with my Boyfriend and Brother. We did love this place, so fascinating to see the Brewery, I was so intrigued by the whole process and loved seeing it. Shows how fresh and and handmade the ale is which is important to me. The ale itself was delicious and so full of flavour my favourites were Looper, Rotator, Hippy Hop juice. The pizza was superb, loved you could actually watch them make it, all fresh and real ingredients made by hand. The wood fired oven gave a gorgeous char to it which made it extra special we even seen them bring more wood for the stove so you know it's authentic. One tiny niggle which is easily rectified that I noticed that the pizza wheel was rinsed in water and not washed with soap and water when cutting the meat and vegetarian and vegan pizzas but as I said it's a tiny detail and would not stop me returning. The bar and pizza staff really seem to care and passionate about their products. Very knowledgeable and professional they should be praised. It's dog friendly. They have outside seating. The toilets are clean and well maintained. Loved the quirky sinks, love the tap is the same as the keg taps lots of fun haha. Would definitely highly recommend. Would be happy to go alone to wait for friends. Love how friendly and chatty the staff are. Will definitely return.

We had our wedding at Full Circle Brewery. We didn't know anyone who had booked a wedding at Full Circle, all I knew was we liked it from the times we'd visited the tap room so we were taking a chance that it would be nice for a wedding but it was fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone As soon as we met Kate the wedding coordinator w had a feeling we could trust her to have everything covered and she was so on the ball, a relaxed calm coordinator but made everything smooth before the day and throughout. Everything was seamless and her communication was fab. It was just such a fun day. We were hoping for a fairly laid back relaxed day as we wanted a fun pub style vibe, and we got that but better. Everyone was so at ease because the venue is so relaxed but nicely decorated too, and the fab beers went down a storm! We had a bit of a medical emergency at the end of the wedding day with a guest and I have to say all of the staff were completely incredible. Providing First Aid with the confidence and precision of a paramedic and being very kind, calling the ambulance and even one of the staff giving us a lift to A&E to see the guest. I'm sure they weren't expecting that at the end of the night and were probably tired from a busy day and ready to go home but they handled things beautifully, we were so impressed and thankful to everyone! Coordination on the day seemed completely seamless, if there were any little bumps in the road I had no idea and was just able to relax and enjoy myself which is exactly what you want. I knew we were in safe hands with Kate. We also felt like she'd thought of everything right up to the day and it was good to sit down with her and get reminded of any little last minute decisions we needed to make, it was relaxed but she kept us right as we'd never planned a wedding before and she was the expert so we needed a little reminding about some aspects we needed to consider. Thanks again for everything Full Circle!

An excellent beer hall to sample some of the finest beers in Newcastle! Loved the venue and drinks, great view of the brewing process, would loved to have tried the food but we'd already eaten! Very good place to come for drinks and a bite to eat, staff were knowledgeable about their beers and very accommodating

LOVE this place! I’m an American “craft beer snob” and couldn’t have been happier here. “Mountains of Mars” was one of my favorite beers- EVER! Our beertenders (Ed and Amber) were knowledgeable and helpful. Pizza was great. If you’re in Newcastle- you gotta go!!

Really nice brewery tap - located upstairs with a good view over the brewery operations. Nice easy app to order, friendly efficient staff and easy going friendly big bearded locals. Most importantly some really nice IPA beer, and I could have happily sunk more than a few. Sold pizza but I can't vouch for it as we didn't eat here. Try and go on foot if you can to avoid what appears to be parking nazis outside if all the anxious signs about making sure you have paid for parking are to be believed. The walk through the lego housing of Byker from the tube station is interesting and while I'd want to keep my whits about me, didn't feel too unsafe.

Sandly not a great frist time experience, though it has an expansive choice like most brewery sute the level of customer service and knowledge at the bar is terrible please don't snap at your customers. There's a number of much more friendly venues with as much chose in the Ouseburn.

Spacious bar overlooking the brewery. There's a wide range of brews, from the weaker session ales to DIPA, light or dark and some ciders too. Really friendly staff, happy to let you sample any before you buy. I saw a large Pizza oven, although we didn't eat there. Highly recommend a visit.

HUGE selection of beers and ales. Both far-reaching and, wonderfully, more local (Allendale brewery!). Been open a few months now, will be getting my beer for the trip home from there from now on.

Great bottle shop! Wide range of local and further afar beers, helpful service picking out beers - will definitely be returning!

Always my go to shop for beers for the train. Great selection of local and international craft beers with a big fridge especially for you long train journeys. They also have a great selection of local spirits such as gin and vodka. Staff there are always very helpful. I real pleasure to shop here!

Very good location for craft beer lovers. The owner Bruce is very friendly and helpful. I stay a few times at Newcastle in a year and I am very impressed by the number of micro breweries in the Newcastle area and their really good quality of beers. I can really recommend this shop with its very big choice of good craft beers. Bruce, thanks for your recommendations, I really enjoy the beers. And I will fill my suitcase again in just 3 weeks. ;)

Great selection of beers and local gins etc. When you have to get a stronger carrier bag, you know you're in a good shop.

My go to place for souvenirs. Wife loves gin so this is a brilliant place for a wide selection of local and international Gins. Being an IPA fan, he always has something new to try as well. Highly recommended for those last minute souvenirs.

As a coeliac I was so excited to browse in the shop: a whole section dedicated to gluten-free beer. What a find! I've enjoyed drinking what I bought and if I'm in Newcastle station again - I shall rush back here!

Love this place and its location. Indoors quite traditional britisk pub. Decent selection of taps including cask. Large outdoor seating area, so specially on a nice sunny day its really nice here. They do serve food here. I had a german hot dog which was quite nice.

Food great. The one thing that I can't look past is that when it's busy they don't just let people wait at the bar in conventional fashion. We need to stop normalising single file queues (which often stretch way out of the door at busy times). Bars are designed as such that people stand along the length of it. If I want a drink I shouldn't have to leave the building.

I was introduced to the Tyne Bar in 2018. It was good to be back! Authentic is overused but this place is genuinely the real deal. Situated between the canal and the River Tyne, almost a hidden gem, but with plenty of locals to feed the atmosphere. We sat outside with drinks and home made brownies. Highly recommended 👏👏👏

Great place to eat and drink with a lovely view from the beer gardens. A group of us came by on Saturday and they kindly served us right away and got us fed quickly. Would definitely recommend 👌🏼

Check out this absolute beauty of a pint! Staff are friendly and efficient. Pub is fantastic. Top drawer boozer.

I sat outside on a quiet early autumn afternoon in the sun. Really relaxing, with a gentle breeze. The beer is very well kept and I couldn't fault the selection. Staff were excellent. Very welcoming and helpful. Not expensive and close enough to the centre to be a pleasant walk along the river. Definitely recommend here and will be back.

Visited Wednesday. Basking in the sun in the beer garden to the side, friendly staff. Very quick to get served as was very busy due to sunny rare days we having as of late. Cider never tasted so good. Big shout out goes to the young lass with dark hair who grafted the delivery that afternoon like a machine in the heat then offered the two delivery blokes a drink!! ☀️🍻

Thursday 25th September 2025 This pub has good friendly helpfull staff on my visit today This is a 1 roomed open planed pub with a oldish character to the place. This public house also has most importantly 6 hanplled ales on from interesting and local beers on. Good staff on today who was very helpful also. This pub is a must for real ale drinkers to visit when in this beautiful city. This pub is well worth a visit when drinking real ales

Bacchus is a brilliant place for a match. Around 10 TVs in different areas, Can do 3 different splits for different matches. Reasonable prices on pints for being inner city as well! And for those not out for the football it makes a lovely day time pint as well with plenty of seating options and a pool table!

A perfect bar with a stunning interior. Loved the chairs felt rather like a throne haha. Ale suits my life Semi organised Chaos lol. Loved the crisps. Staff, friendly, polite, knowledgeable and friendly. Very clean. Toilets very smart although I did worry I had turned into a vampire lol. Highly recommended. Felt very safe and relaxed. Everyone was so polite and well mannered. Close to bus stops as well.

Nice decor but the prices are ridiculous. £7.20 for a pint from Two by Two brewery. Two by Two is up the road in Byker.... I've seen this beer for half the price in Newcastle. There's absolutely no reason for this to be this expensive, only greed.

When I'm hosting people visiting Newcastle this is always the pub I take them to. It's fab, and pretty classy, probably one of the best in the city centre. I wish I'd discovered it sooner!

Can't lie I wanted to enjoy it but felt really awkward in there because i wasn't at least 55 years old. Felt quite hostile, the owner got the magnifying glass out for our IDs (we're in our mid 20s) and stared us down for the entirety of our singular pint, meanwhile he was chipper for anyone with grey hair coming up to the bar. Owner knows his market. So if you're an alchy and have grey hair then this is the pub for you 👍 Otherwise avoid.

Does a job. And a bit more Good range of cask and a couple of craft. Very footy focused. So if you like good beer and footy. Go here.

A super Micro bar in a basement off Eldon Square. Paulicarus loved the real ale selection. Apparently there is outside space to the rear and tables on the square when weather permits. A CAMRA 2025 Good Beer Guide entry. Busy in our visit.

Hidden gem! Great place to have a quiet pint. Great selection of craft beers. Love the duck theme throughout the pub. Good service! I will definitely be back upon my next stay in Newcastle!

This is my new favorite city centre spot after a day of shopping. We only discovered it after watching a YouTube video about cool pubs in Newcastle. We must have walked by it 100 times. Every time we go in now there’s a new great selection of beer on tap and cask. We usually go in the afternoon and it’s always been quiet, and there’s ample outside seating.Not a bad spot to sit this summer while your kids are watching a movie in the Eldon square grassy area…

A great little bar, near the main shopping area of Newcastle. A little tricky to find but worth it. Great selection of beers.

Great little local beer bar. Small and intimate inside, with nice decor of barrels hanging from the ceiling. The staff were really friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. They had lots of local ales on tap and several Belgian beers by the bottle. Indoor and some outdoor seating.

A terrific cellar bar with an eclectic range of beers. 🇺🇦 service was as good as it gets 👍🏻

Excellent micropub in the basement of a Georgian terraced house near Newcastle's Greg's Monument. Five cask beers on handpump when I visited including a mild. Lots of outdoor seating at the front and in the partly covered garden to the rear.

Yes! The perfect butcher's shop! Taking high quality meat, dry-aging it for a good amount of time (but not too much), and then skilfully butchering them into attractive steaks. Simple, but rare. I'm a huge fan of steak and steak cookery, but I don't do it very often so when I do it I want it to be perfect, and the team here were patient and helpful with me and my indecision. The pork and lamb looked equally as delicious. They have an amazing beer and wine selection, and top veg choices too. And northern rye sourdough! I think I've found my heaven, and it's in Heaton. Can't wait to go back.

The point I was making was!! I understand you have to sell the knuckle bones I've bought alot in the past. But my point was you charged me 1.48 for a rib bone an I mean a bone, after spending £60 in your shop (that I thought was greedy) I know your produce is good I never said anything about your quality of meats. I would of returned week after week if I hadn't been charged for that particular bone Hello Steven, you're just not getting my point at all!! like I said nothing wrong with your produce or quality of meats... its the principle of you charging

A really nice butchers! Good quality meat - we really enjoyed our sausages and fillet steak. Staff were very knowledgeable on gluten free options too!

10/10 Couldn’t fault a thing. We bought steak, sausages, bacon and a pork belly - all were delicious but the pork was the star of the show. Service was excellent too! We will be back.

The quality of the beef completely exceeded my expectations. The steak had a nice marble with an even better colour and when I cooked it to a medium-rare the sear was lovely. The staff were friendly. If you haven't already you should give this place a try.

Fantastic butchers, I highly recommend! I went in after some Italian products and was surprised to find more than what I was after! I got guanciale as I’ve been after it for ages and was shocked to see finocchiona in the fridge. The quality of the meat is amazing! You must visit.

Fantastic service, trimmed and prepped a beautiful cut of fillet after my specifying it was for a Wellington. Results were fantastic. To top it off, had some great draught beer while it was being prepped. What an amazing store :-)

I visited on a Wednesday evening. The place very nice and welcoming. Staff was brilliant both at the front door and at the bar. We ordered a jug of Cuban Sangria, this was refreshing and sweet. We picked Sunshine Bowl with prawns. The presetantions was nice and inviting. However, we did ask if it was spicy, and we were told not. The dish was sprinkled with chilli flakes, making the flavour spicy. The waitress was really nice and changed the dish without flakes. I ordered the steak sandwich, this was nice a little bit spicy for my taste but definitely recommend if you like something with a little bit of heat. Overall I will be back to ordered the Sunshine bowl again as it was full of flavours . 😊

Wednesday night took nearly 2 hours from ordering for the food to come out. Beef ropa vieja had good flavours, chips were way too salty. Main thing that gave it 1 more star was the churros. They were served fast & were perfectly fluffy & crunchy, rum caramel really good.

1. Our pre-booked table wasn't ready upon arrival as they were "struggling to move the loud/drunk hen-do party from our table". Those were the words used. 2. Tables that sat next to us 15 mins later than us, we're served first. 3. Two out of 3 vegan meal options for my partner weren't available. She ordered the last option, a salad which came looking entirely different and missing ingredients than what the menu suggested. 4. Ordered patatas bravas without aioli as a dietary requirement, and was brought with plenty of it on, ignoring our request. 4. My beef brisket was 100% microwaved onto dry clumped rice (see photo) The music was so loud that bless your lovely waitress, she had to shout repeatedly to us to be heard and couldn't hear our answers until we comically shouted back. Yet she was the only positive element of this visit. Absolute chaos of a business all around otherwise. This is a stag and hen night destination.

I went to a Balkan party, the entry was 12 pounds, but you get a “free” shot of rakija if you come before 23:30. It was a scam. There was no rakija. Plus they made us pay for the table. Plus the bartender was rude. Nobody was apologising. My drink was bad. The music choice was not great.

Went for cocktail masterclass and dinner for 2. The masterclass is amazing and fun, thought it was a wonderful experience until we get to the restaurant for dinner. The entire great experience turned into nightmare when they make customers wait for over an hour to get their food considering it was “Pre-ordered” 2 hours in advance. Never been this disappointed with restaurant service in my entire life and ended up just walking out because the churros for dessert is already taking more than 30mins to get served. Arrived at resto 2pm and left 6pm without getting everything we paid for. Absolutely disappointing.

I cannot recommend Revolución de Cuba Newcastle enough for their bottomless brunch – it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy, music, and good vibes. The food was absolutely delicious – every dish was fresh, full of flavor, and felt like it had been made with care. The drinks flowed endlessly, with a great variety to choose from, and each one was spot on. What really made the experience outstanding, though, was our server Ellie. She was an absolute star from start to finish – attentive, warm, and always one step ahead. She made sure our glasses were never empty, gave brilliant recommendations, and made us feel so welcome the entire time. Ellie has that perfect mix of professionalism and fun that completely elevates the whole experience. If you’re looking for the best bottomless brunch in Newcastle, look no further than Revs de Cuba. Amazing food, amazing drinks, and if you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Ellie, you’re guaranteed to have the perfect time.

Bottomless was good, good food options. Small plates but filling. Band stopped as we were seated and another didn't come on until we were leaving so atmosphere was a little poor.

Little bit of a gushy review but I can hands down say this is my absolute favourite place to eat in town! My partner and I have been frequently in the past few years and have never been served anything less than perfection! Service is absolutely outstanding with knowledgeable and attentive staff and the food……superlative! Fish dishes; fresh, well balanced and delicious and oh my word the lamb sharing main 🤤 just make sure you don’t eat for 24 hours beforehand if you want to finish it (although the staff are very happy to wrap up for you too). All in all, outstanding! Can’t wait for my next outing to The Broad Chare 😊

Absolutely wonderful experience here. Staff attentive but relaxed, great vibe & fantastic food. High recommend. Wish I’d taken more photos. This was the Butchers Steak in green peppercorn sauce! Delicious 🙏

Absolute best Sunday roast I've had since moving up here a year ago. We ordered the veggie roast which came with bubble and squeak; pork belly and the beef. Everything was flavoured beautifully and the roast potatoes were incredible. Definitely coming back

Pros: Good selection of beers, scotch egg, haggis on toast is an interesting take. Cons: Too pricey for what they offer. Fish cake was too dry, only mediocre at best. "Grilled calf liver" wasn't grilled, but pan fried (though it was delicious, nevertheless). Green leaves in the salad weren't properly washed, you could see the dirt on some of them. Attention to detail was lacking, overall ("luxury soap" bottle in the toilet was refilled with some cheap washing liquid that you can hardly rinse off, etc.). Michelin list brought us here, but I regretted the visit. I hope this was a one off incident, and they are doing better generally.

Amazing food and service - the bar snacks (monkfish cheeks and cauliflower fritters pictured) and roasts (topside of beef and pork belly) were exceptional!

Calf liver was really good and tasty, but the portion size should be bigger for a main. It’s only two slices of liver and the rest is kale and mash.

Such a beautiful place .. service was exceptional and so was the food .. my favourite meal from my week away in Newcastle .. thank you for an amazing food experience

When you need a break from shopping & don't want to go to one of the "trendier" food bars in their food hall, come here. It's on the 1st floor of Fenwick & there were several tables free when we visited (even though Xmas shopping was at it's peak.) The tea & coffees were nice & it was great that they give you a long enough teaspoon for stirring in your tall latte glass (not many places do!) We had a simple crab sandwich & a Croque Monsieur (without additional egg.) Both very tasty.

All roads may lead to Rome, but in Eldon Square they all seem to end at Cafe 21. No hard sell here good food, friendly staff and a buzz that speaks for itself. Always busy, always worth it ❤️

Such a beautiful place, food was delicious and the service was amazing. It was my Mam and her best friend’s birthday and they went out of their way to mark their special day. Putting their flowers in water while we dined and gifting them a delicious chocolate brownie for dessert. The staff were so friendly, polite and showed care and kindness. I couldn’t rate them any higher. Thank you and well done 👏💕

If you're looking for a classy place for a bite to eat whilst shopping, this is your spot. The food is always delicious, the service is always spot on and the atmosphere is always vibrant. Breakfast, brunch or lunch you will not be disappointed. We love the place! The afternoon tea ain't bad either xx

Delicious scones, tea & coffee. Staff was super friendly.

I had Sunday lunch there this afternoon and I asked 2 members of staff for a drink which I didn't get. I then asked an older female member of staff, who looked like she may have been a manager, for a drink when she took our food order. Again it never arrived so I asked her again and she brought it over. I said that I had asked 3 times (it was actually 4) for it and was taken aback when she replied "Well you've got it now haven't you." What a very poor and unprofessional response to my politely pointing out what had happened. I think good customer service is becoming a thing of the past. Other than that the food was very nice and the staff were friendly.

I just wanted to post a review to say how much we enjoy visiting Cafe 21 and, in particular, how much we enjoy being served by the ray of sunshine that is Devon. Devon greets us like old friends and always makes Mam and I feel like we are the most important customers in the cafe. She provides service with such a warm and caring demeanour and always makes us laugh with her sense of humour. Mam and I visit Cafe 21 each time we come to Newcastle and I have to say that one of the main reasons we do is because we know we are going to get such good hospitality from Devon and the rest of the team. Devon really is a stand out member of the Fenwick's team and her enthusiasm for her work shines through, she really is a credit to Cafe 21 and to the Fenwick brand. We visited on Monday and we can't wait to visit again soon to have wonderful food and a warm reception.

The fries were good, but the vegan fish was… just not it. Plus, the two small slices of tofu [vegan fish] definitely weren’t worth the price. On another visit, we had to wait over an hour for two bowls of soup, which was frustrating. That said, they do have nice nachos! The place itself has a really nice vibe, with great interior design and music that adds to the atmosphere. It’s also located in a fantastic area!

Lovely little spot for a pint, especially on a day like today when the sun is shining. It was quite busy but what else can you expect with such nice weather, and a Saturday lunch time at that! A little on the expensive side at £5.95 a pint for a cider, so while it was nice, I probably wouldn't rush back. Excellent service too, especially with how many people were there. I would recommend getting there as early as possible in order to get a table as they fill up quick. We were lucky to get one as we arrived just prior to opening.

Good vibes but small portions for food annd fish n chips is not good, not even sure what it’s meant to be as a vegan substitute. Burgers are crap. Beers are good that’s it.

Great vegan roast, do wish maybe there was one more vegetable instead of two types of potatoes! Sticky toffee pudding was nice, did not enjoy the custard, had a weird powdered taste/mouth feel. Really lovely pub with nice decor and ambience. Good prices for the food too.

Absolutely love coming here, I was just getting over an illness so the food here was perfect for helping me recover 🥳 The fish and chips were incredible and the "chicken" patty had a great taste 👍

Only good thing was the weather today, everything else was abysmal. 1 Main course, 1 from kids menu, extra portion of chips, pint and half a shandy £41 WOW!! All followed by service with the attitude, really bad taste of the what I was told is Staropramen beer (everything but or they haven't cleaned pipes in really long time) and food that was mediocre at most. This is by far the worst place in every aspect we have ever been in really long time now. Needless to say wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend it at all.

Fully vegan food offering, great to have a choice instead of limited to one or two (if you're lucky) items on a menu Not high end but tasty, filling and well presented.

Excellent location.. very centre just across the street from the main station. Solid quality for the price and the bartenders are awesome. The menu is all about Spanish flavors and I’d totally recommend giving it a try. But if you’re into beer.. you're at the right place. They’ve got a great lineup of craft brews on tap. And if that’s not your thing their cocktails are pretty solid too... ladies might especially appreciate that!

Found myself here by chance after my train was cancelled. A bright, welcoming space with a great selection of beers (the nitro stout was gorgeous) and delicious pizzas - I'd highly recommend the chicken katsu one. A great place to kill a sunny couple of hours waiting for a train!

Making my first visit to Newcastle in 20 years. A first for Paulicarus. Starting off in this CAMRA 2025 Good Beer Guide entry. A choice of 6 handpump real ales. 2 ciders and lots of fizzy beers as well. Paulicarus chose an unfiltered 3.4% New England Pale by Tapped Brew Co, Astral Voyage. An excellent session beer. A very modern bar with a large Mezzanine. Food served. £ 7.50 for my pint and a half of Mittel lager. Great position opposite station.

Very nice beers, large selection. Seats were comfortable and toilets clean. Can't comment on food as they ran out of pizza dough - I arrived at 8pm. However, the whole place smelled of smoke. they had left the back door open and someone was smoking outside with the smell blowing through.

Spacious comfortable central with great views of Neville Street and the Royal Station my favourite hotel in my favourite city. Great beer selection too!

Spoilt for choice for cask ale around Central Station these days. This pub is the one in the 2025 Good Pub Guide.

Good selection of beers and ciders. A little on the pricey side but at least you're not getting a bog standard beer. Pizzas are really good - freshly made to order with homemade bases

Lovely spot under the Tyne bridge for coffee and brunch, I had the avocado on sourdough with poached eggs and it was lovely, a nice spice to it, great crunch bread, the coffee and chilled atmosphere was fabulous too, friendly helpful staff too, great spot and also worth the scenic walk across the Tyne to get to

Turned up at 8:15pm Saturday night on a bank holiday weekend and told they'd just called last orders. A star for the friendly doorstaff who let us go in. We figured we'd get a quick half and move on. The options were very mainstream (they had Guinness and Kopperburg for example). Looks like it could be nice, but my opinion was it wasn't really what it was advertising in beers or opening times

Popped in here for a pre dinner drink. Great location right on the river. Only the outside bar was operating. Because it's outside the drinks are served in plastic cups. Found it more expensive than the pubs, 20 pounds for 2 pints of beer and a gin and tonic.

Fab location with great selection of food outlets. We tried a couple and would highly recommend Dabbawal Indian street food! Point to improve: It’s on the expensive side (£7 a pint), the beer selection is small considering its a tap location and the app confusing. Didn’t take away from awesome location and fab food/drink atmosphere would defo recommend 😄

By far one of the best place to eat and drink in Newcastle & Gateshead. The location is perfect, the views are outstanding. Food from the restaurant, Träkol, is amazing and one of the most unique dining experiences in the area. There's also the HWKRMRKT if you just want to sample an exceptional showcase of the region's street food vendors.

The location is just perfect! Great outdoor seating and just such a cool and novel place. Beers were fab and the restaurant that is attached had some of thee best food me, my partner and my sister had ever tasted! Very very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Great location for a start, right on the river, with views over to the Newcastle side, and catching the sun from early afternoon through to mid evening. There's a weekend street food market too.

Bridge Hotel is simply a decent boozer. It’s big enough to accommodate a lot of punters but still feels like a local. It’s got the energy, the buzz….but you’ll also hopefully get a seat. Plus it’s damn handsome. Rock solid.

Had a quiet pint here whilst on a 2 day art visit to Newcastle. Beautiful old pub by the castle and one of its many bridges. A lovely sunny day meant the stained glass in the windows was truly glowing. Friendly barmaid in a lovely place, good beer choice I had a hoppy pale ale, highly recommended

Paulicarus is ticking off the 2025 CAMRA Good Beer Guide entries. Sat overlooking the low level swing bridge where Christine's dad Jim used to work the night shift in the late 1970's. Next to the high level bridge, hence the name. Ten handpump real ales cement this as a GBG pub. My first ever visit to this marvellous building. A small outside river view beer terrace with super views not open in March. ( needs TLC.) A new brewery for me, Breworks in Pickering. A 5% Coal Porter..ha ha. Downstair toilets let down the place

wasn't sure if they had real ale here, but thought I remembered it being OK. how wrong I was. it's fantastic. they have 8 ales and a couple of ciders on cask, plus a large keg selection! tried a couple; both well kept. excellent bar!

Beautiful pub building, ummolested it seems - beautiful vintage interior. Lots of beer. B Friendly bar staff who love pubs, beer and other chats. Interesting little garden by the bridge. Got to check this place if you haven't before.

A wonderful little find a short distance from the Riverside and Newcastle Central Station. Very busy bar, standing room only for us. Fabulous atmosphere offering a wide range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including some local brews. The toilets are located downstairs. If you like stained glass, do have a look around at the scenes depicting the traditional trade of the area. Directly opposite, you'll find Newcastle Keep and part of the old castle walls, castle well, and the Castle Stairs. I suspect the way to do the stairs is down and not up as we did!!

Classic British pub. Best pint of Guinness I've had outside Ireland

Decent place, good range of beers at not excessive prices, friendly service. Not a lot of atmosphere but it might be better at weekends.

A Newcastle classic. Good beers, great cocktails. Terrace is always lively in summer too.

Okay, so... the drinks menu at this bar is in a state of continuous evolution. However, bar staff - such as Matty - are legends in the bar scene and have the wealth of knowledge and skill to remember the classics, even when off the menu. Five of us in today, and the bar heroes - again, Matty. Remember that name, that man is skilled - has made all of our favourite drinks monthsand in some cases years since they've left the menu. Don't be misleaded. If the bar is rammed, then don't be that guy/gal. Thwybe got people to serve. But, this team and this bar WILL find you a drink you love.

Great little bar! Lovely atmosphere! Great cocktails, thanks to the girl in pink, was super friendly! Had a great night out, will return!

One of my favorite bars. Bartenders are always nice and polite, there is a friendly atmosphere. The only minus is the lack of any snacks, for example crisps.

I love Alvino's. They do some of the most original cocktails that I've come across along with some really good beers too. It always looks closed from the outside, but it's well worth a visit, it's a little pricey, but well worth it.

Great place to go chill with friends. As well as cocktails they also have cocktails for the people who can't have alcohol. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating.

Didn't try the food despite being there for a very special event which was very well managed and organised. Staff friendly and helpful helped make for a very enjoyable, comfortable and safe feeling environment. Would definitely recommend

Attended the ABBA event today and can honestly say I felt that we were totally ripped off. Not enough seating to accommodate the hundreds of tickets sold at £19.50 each. Some outdoor seating but despite weather warnings for days event organisers didn't have the sense to cover this seating area up until the benches were already soaking. The bar staff were ill equipped to cope with the numbers and actually ran out of wine. Worse of all were the actual ABBA tribute. One actually looked like she had never sang in front of an audience in her life and looked like a rabbit in headlights. I was beginning to think the actual tribute band hadn't turned up and these were a couple of staff standing in. Honestly feel that I have not only had my eyeballs ripped out, but my sockets as well.

Visited this place during the day and appeared lovely but what a different vibe on a night. It appeared to be a reggae night with lots of stoners taking over the dancefloor. Food was spot on but not somewhere I would choose to go back. Such a shame as it has so much potential

Went to an ABBA event on 19th July that we had booked well in advance and the group of us had paid £100 in total for tickets. Turned up early as the rain was bad to get a table and staff were extremely rude stating they weren’t open yet and when I asked when they opened they tutted and said when the event starts, despite saying 12 online. The event in itself was absolutely terrible, found a post on Facebook which proves the singers were found online a few days before just asking for a couple girls to sing and it SHOWN! The place was rammed full and no one was sheltered from the rain despite having ages to prepare for a day they knew was going to be wet. Ordered food from the bar and was told my plastic thing would buzz when it was ready, ages passed so I went in to get it and was shouted at by the woman stating the food was ready ages! The bar ran out of Prosecco after less than an hour which was the final straw for us and caused us to leave the event. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

Great space large screen for the football. Beer selectuon felt tame, usual suspects. Nothing from the plethora of local breweries around this area. Lovely Greek restaurant attatched

Great location for an event! Only issue for me was no cider on draft bar strawberry and lime, and only kopperbergs in the fridge.

Kicked us out a minute after the football ended and shouted in my 60-year-old mam’s face for wanting to have a bit more time. Do not go here. Full of students anyway.

Brewdog is always my favourite place for a good craft IPA. Staff are always really friendly and have good knowledge on the drinks. They do amazing deals such as the cocktail tasting session, after 4pm discount on Sundays and much more.

I attended the Beer School yesterday and had a thoroughly entertaining 2 hours. Plenty of beers to try, and expertise to talk you through it. Rowan was obviously fascinated by the whole brewing process and a massive asset to the company. This all added up to a very enjoyable experience. Spot on 👍

I don't visit there often enough. I should do as Brewdog is my favourite brand of ale. Good selection Brew Dog ales as well as other drinks (Spirits etc) Decent Food menu aswell

Can only think of one pizza I’ve ever had that was worse than that, takes some doing in 40 years of pizza eating to even register but it was absolutely gaff. 7 napkins later and still two slices of slop left. Handy I was starving or there’s be a whole lot more wasted. Beers alright.

Loved the beers, wide range of choice to suit everyones eclectic taste. Tasters were available before purchasing. Staff were incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable on the beers.

Fantastic service, totally unsure of what we wanted, the girl serving was very patient & polite. The drinks were really tasty & unusual, definitely worth trying 😁

I finished the hadrianswall path today and I found this place, great pizza, good service.

Loads better than the Wobbly Bob or whatever it's called. Great beer and staff. I particularly liked how the bartender was taste sampling the beer after she'd changed the barrel, it shows they actually care about the gear they're serving their customers. Enjoyable experience and very busy on a miserable Sunday evening.

Phenomenal micropubs and a real exemplar of what this should mean. Helpful and knowledgeable lad behind the bar (not sure if he was an employee or owner but he did a great job). Fantastic selection of beer on draft and cask supplemented by some excellent chilled cans in the fridge. Small outdoor seating area. Only downside might be the accessibility for some as it's down a couple of steps in a basement type room but it adds to the character and atmosphere of the place

Easy to walk past this basement bar so Paulicarus says look sharp and look down. A CAMRA 2025 Good Beer Guide pub. A reasonable sized micro with an ever changing real ale selection. A new Northumberland brewery for me, Morpeth's Rigg and Furrow brewery. I had a pint of their 4.4% Bracken best bitter. Superb. Wine also very good.Super find. One small toilet at back or go past, climb the stairs for more options.

Good selection of craft beers. Small seating area outside which was nice in summer

Absolutely outstanding craft beer bar, small but mighty! Great selection of beers, sometimes it is easier for places to go for the easy sell little of the road beers but here there is a fantastic selection across the styles - something for everyone. Would thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic find Great selection of beers etc and the service was top notch from Shae the bartender. Will definitely be dropping in on our next visit

A place so consistently good, you can almost take it for granted, and then forget to review it Had the Pilot Festbier this time, and was outstanding They’ll have something equally great on next time Pink Lane Sausage and Veggie Rolls latter half of the week, to help sate the beer munchies

Paulicarus found us another CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2025 bar. A micro bar with a great beer selection. Six beers on tap. Sadly both of us getting too tired to appreciate this splendid real ale outlet.

We popped in here for an afternoon pint and we were pleasantly surprised! We had no idea this place was here… well we thought it was a little cafe. It’s a hidden gem! We found it by watching a YouTube video about cool pubs in Newcastle. Well we will be repeat customers. What a great selection of beers, both on tap and cask. The vibe is really cool with a lot of interesting pictures to look at on the wall.. it’s definitely a different vibe than the usual English pub style place. The service was quick and super friendly.

Beer lovers will love Mean Eyed Cat, it’s as simple as that. It nails that quirky vibe that middle aged craft beer lovers desire. Plus the beer selection is rock solid. Eclectic, eccentric, electric. I recommend it.

Very good Newcastle micropub in a former newsagents opposite Haymarket bus station. Four cask beers on handpump when I visited including a stout. Whacky interior decoration and fittings and an affinity for heavy metal music! Lots of outdoor seating in the garden to the rear. Very friendly and helpful ladies running the bar.

I always love calling in here. Plenty of character, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and always have a good selection of drinks. Plus, I love how they share the bad reviews! Keep it up!

I love this place. So much character and lush drinks. Staff are lovely too. The music playlist here is varied and lively. Variety of tables to lounge at or even have the start of a date night. Warm and cosy on a winters night and clean toilets. Little outdoor area too which would be lovely on a summers evening. My mates love the variety of beers here. I tried a lovely sweet apple cider. Nice selection of standard crisps (pipers etc)

Absolutely sensational boozer I make the pilgrimage to the Cat almost everyday after finishing work, to drink the finest Kasteel rouge in the city. The staff are great, the place is lively and love the vibes of Latin America brought to the wilds of the north east. I highly recommend no matter what you drink it'll be the finest pint or half pint pulled in the NE postcode.

Popped in on a Sunday around 5pm before getting my train home. Had a pint of Oak Cream IPA (£5) and a half of their exclusive Cleaver Chimp (£1.80). Two delicious beers, I’ll be back. Homely interior with loads of character. Games, piano, cool music, some what appeared to be regulars. Friendly and efficient staff. Good accessibility, door isn’t automatic and there might be a ridge. Not sure about toilets.

Lovely pub. Good size, very friendly and helpful and a great beer selection. If you sit at the front, near the window they even have a guitar you can strum on. Will definitely be going back there next time I visit Newcastle for a drink.

Good selection of beers however on Sundays some kegs were empty and not replaced. Staff friendly and good space to sit and drink. Good music and good volume. Upstairs unavailable on this visit. Will happily return and definitely recommended. My wife has advised that the ladies toilets are spotless 👍

Craft ale pub with great selection of beers ciders and also bottled drinks It was quite quiet when we visited (mid week and poor weather) so I must return when it gets more lively. Centrally situation down from the Central station an Tokyo bar

First time at this micro pub, visited here as they sell flat cider and handy walk from the hotel. Nice selection of real ales and three ciders.

Micropub. Bar + up stairs level. 6 h/pulls. Real ales + craft + ciders. Comfortable seating. Happy staff.

Very good Newcastle micropub located in a railway arch not far from Central Station. Six cask ales on handpump when I last visited including a stout.

Absolutely appalling place. Terrible, terrible music. Think Vengaboys and corny rubbish like that. This cost £5.00 each on the door and we stayed for one drink and left. We couldn’t stand it anymore it was like being at a kids birthday party. I’m amazed they didn’t start playing the shark song it was so bad. We didn’t have food but the pizzas did look nice. Bar staff miserable and stood constantly on their phone. Only looking up to serve someone and being visibly annoyed because they interrupted their scrolling.

This place is a classs night out. Order sourdough pizza at 1am without having to leave the venue IDEAL. And the pizzas are wicked too and such good priced. Staff are niceee and music is always bouncing.

Went to the bar and ordered 4 doubles and 4 shots - not a cheap round! But even more expensive than expected! Asked for the bill and when we got it we were charged an extra £8 NYE charge! Questioned it and was told they added it New Years EVe and no one questioned it and so was told to do it all the time! I’m happy to pay premium prices for a prwmium experince - this was just a rip off! Do not recommend!

Busy venue with good music and a nice crowd, good deals on trebles and they got pizzas all night long which is amazing when on a night out (plus they are pretty good pizzas), absolutely recommend this bar if you want a class night out!

Busy fun bar 2 for 1 on good beers . Think we paid £11 for 4 morrettis

I visited this place as a solo traveler and was shocked by how I was treated. The security refused to let me enter simply because I was alone. This kind of behavior felt discriminatory and unwelcoming. I do not recommend visiting this place.

Great bar, good music and cheap drinks!! The pizza is also unreal. Will definitely be back :)

Cosy place yet knowledgeable guy, fantastic selection of beers. Was sunny so basked in it outside. Will certainly be coming again, simply superb!

A fantastic little venue, only a 5 minute walk from my house, which I can never fault the beer, the regular faces (even some new ones) and the staff. Will definitely be back! Cheers 🍻

Small local micro pub with a large selection of draught, canned beers, cider and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating with friendly atmosphere.

Booked a slot here just after pubs reopened. Nice set up with the outdoor seating. Friendly welcome from the barman and tried two great ales at very reasonable prices. Always good to support local businesses and you won't go far wrong choosing this place. Will be back for certain.

Went twice. First time was a pleasure, the man serving us was nice and the atmosphere pleasant. Came a second time, I believe it was the landlord behind the bar this time as comments suggest, and he was incredibly rude to me and my friends, so much so that we won't be going back. Go to elder beer around the corner, they are much friendlier there.

If I could have given zero stars, I would have. Not sure how it won the North East pub of the year award 2 years ago. The man behind the bar was the rudest, most unwelcoming person I've ever encountered anywhere. Shame, as the beers were nice, but they were ruined by him. Never going back again. Think he keeps it open just for his mates, who all hang around the bar and are also very unfriendly.

5/4/2019. A good afternoon/evening was had by my group & other customers whilst l was there aprox - 4 pm - 9.30pm, the Heaton Tap has an interesting selection of beers/ciders on draught & prices are reasonable. Bar snacks are available plus l think l saw pickled eggs on sale behind the counter. Bar service was fast but be patient & have a chat with the person behind you whilst waiting. Not forgetting the gluten free beers/beers/ciders in the wall drinks cabinet. The Heaton Tap is a very intimate & cosy establishment, & you may end up making friends with the folks on the next tables & who know you may become regulars (if you are not already) at the Heaton Tap. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Great taproom, always great beers, Two by Two must be one of the most consistent breweries out there. Deducting 1 star from what's always a 5 star experience for the barman with the acoustic guitar but adding a bonus star for being open on a Thursday evening unlike Wylam.

What a little gem this venue is. We were there to see the fabulous 'Favourite Child'. A band that continues to improve on their very high standards. Today was yet another outstanding set. The acoustics for the venue are surprisingly pleasing. It is a compact venue that is set in an actual brewery. What's not to like. Grass roots live music is alive and kicking. Kick on !!

In the area for a business trip and had some cask beers, in the pubs in the centre. I had to look into the brewery as they were so good, and as luck would have it, they have a great taproom, serving cask and keg within walking distance of the city centre.

Took a wrong turn looking for The Cumberland Arms and hit the Two by Two brewery. A typical micro on an industrial estate that opens as a bar for limited hours. Good pint of Pale. Pleasant on a grey and cool August evening. Bring your thermals in winter. ( Spring and Autumn as well.) Two cadk real ales. Well worth the detour says Alic. Boothroyd getting tired after a hard day drinking.

Surprising little tap room in the brewery in the middle of Byker! Nice and warm inside even though the tap room is within the warehouse. DJ playing a few funky tunes and a nice little selection of two by two beers, as well as wine if you want it. There was a food van there too when we were there. Will definitely be visiting again!

A friend brought me to the Two by Two taproom about 3 years ago, and it almost instantly became our favourite hangout spot. The best beer I’ve ever had - particularly their flagship beer, Snake Eyes - wonderful staff, a friendly welcoming space and a beer garden. Live music, dog socials, quiz nights, and plenty more. Dog friendly too (met many wonderful pups there!). It was so good we got married there - best day of our lives. Massive thanks to everyone involved - you were all fantastic.

Great taproom for one of the regions nest breweries. They have around 8 keg on, and two cask. All were their own beers. If I was being picky I'd like one or two guests on, not sure if they ever do. They also have a fridge with cans, both their own and a few from other breweries. I couldn't see any prices for cans in the fridge which would have been useful. They also have a few soft drinks which I thought were expensive (£2.50 for a small bottled apple juice) albeit they were premium brands. The seating is fairly typical brewery tap room wooden benches with seating available both inside and outside. The outside area has a canopy to offer shade/shelter if needed. There were four unisex toilet cubicles outside which were constructed in a container unit but immaculately clean and maintained. They were selling gourmet scotch eggs and pork pies on my visit, along with usual crisp offerings. A food truck was also setting up outside so I assume it varies what offering comes in the truck on any given day. There is plenty of free on street parking right outside, or the metro is just under ten minutes walk away so it is easily accessible. Well decorated with the typical two by two artwork and the brewery tanks are literally there to add to the feel. There's a couple of very minor things that I'd improve but they are trivial really and don't detract from a great venue. Definitely be back.

A massive choice of beers that you wouldn't find in the supermarket. They also have a load of wine which I've yet to try. The beer is reasonably priced and the staff know there stuff. Great place to visit.

What an absolute delightful set-up? Wonderful setting, excellent knowledgeable, very friendly staff. Spirits, wines, beers galore! Superb value for money! Feel actually privileged that its 5 minutes from me, enjoy spending money hear, I can't fault it. The recommendations have been perfect EVERY time! Good luck for the future.

By far the best place to order excellent alcohol from on the whole internet. Great selection of rare beers (and other things too!). Normally I would not write a review, but in this case I had to. Ordered drinks on Saturday when I realised that we are running out. Delivered by Tuesday (next day delivery) for free. Nobody can beat this level of service. Keep up the good work!

Discovered this place when searching for a particular wine I discovered during a recent visit to a restaurant. What a wonderfully helpful place this is !! The manager was incredibly helpful, especially after I got an order wrong. He responded immediately and helped me through the whole process via email. Can not fault The Pit Stop, highly recommend them and will definitely be returning for future orders. Fabulous :)

Fantastic store; excellent selection of beers, other drinks available 😉 Staff are very friendly and know their stuff. I would always also recommend their drafts; Full Circle Beer never let's you down.

Love the selection of Gluten Free beers! The staff have an awesome knowledge base of the wines. Very helpful! Unique experience to visit the place. Thanks!

Great shop, very stylish inside with good unusual selection of beers, lagers, wines & spirits, not cheap, but not really expensive either. Friendly service. Recommended.

Tasted your 3.9% ale you brew for Bennett’s of Morningside. Superb ale and very good value at £4, especially in Edinburgh. Good luck with your business.

I've tried 5 of your beers now and they're all lush, they're all different but all great giving you a nice range of flavours. I find some beers suffer from a bottle compared to draught but yours don't they're still excellent. Also seem to be noticing them popping up more in local pubs which is good to see.

Collected my items today for a friends birthday. Andy was very helpful and pleasant. I will be ordering again.

Very nice beer just chilling in the coalhouse Seaham and this beer hits the spot Thank you

I've ordered the bag in a box Tyneside Blonde a few times now over the last month or so. Cracking pint, have to say its one of my favourites now. Great work and superb delivery service. My tip is to pour into a 1 litre cafetiere and plunge a few times then pour straight into your pint glass and let it settle for the perfect pub pint at home.

They are getting me through COVID lockdown! I miss the pub but I really missed proper cask ale. Keg and bottles are just too fizzy. Hadrian's 5ltr Bag-in-Box was the answer. I couldn't believe that my favourite ales can be delivered to my door for free. And that is not all ... I regularly get freebies too - beer-themed facemasks, bottles of beer, discount vouchers - you name it. Fine beer and great friendly service! I love them!

Excellent service!!...Ordered a case (12) of Mixed bottled ales online. I was able to specify both the number of bottles and which ales were required. Ordered Saturday 4th April delivered Monday 6th April , only small point was didn’t let me know when delivery was coming, but during lockdown I wasn’t going anywhere 🙂

First visit here was for restaurant week, service was speedy, food was delicious, and well presented and the setting was fantastic, (we were seated in the banqueting hall). No complaints, empty plates all round. Highly recommended 👌

Been a few years since we were last here and was just as good as I remember. We got the langostine cocktail and scallop starters, with oyster and hash brown snacks. Followed by Duck breast and a side of cheese leeks. All dishes were exceptional, but I do need the recipe for the brown sauce that came with the hash browns. Or at least them to sell bottles of it. I've never felt so passionate about a condiment but this is well deserving. Service was great, attentive and friendly.

Celebrated my birthday in Blackfriars - this was my first visit. The venue is stunning - simply beautiful. Service - very friendly and professional. Food - wow 😲 delicious. Nothing to complaint. We had a lovely time, received recommendation for drinks and food. Also received a birthday card such a nice gesture. I will be back in the future for special occasions or celebrations ❤️

WOW, the food was so good, we originally started out planning to have two courses but couldn’t resist a third. Their homemade gluten free bread was the best bread I’ve had since being diagnosed coeliac. The staff took my allergies extremely seriously and made us feel very welcome. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough, it was mind blowing.

Came for our 1st year wedding anniversary. The staff were all lovely, really nice to chat too, welcoming, professional and friendly. Everyone on the night was 10/10. Food was delicious, a good gluten free selection and understanding of coeliac, I'm not poorly this morning writing this so that bodes extremely well for there understanding too. They went the extra mile for us for our anniversary and it made our night that extra bit special for us. Thank you for amazing night.

Excellent restaurant with good service and really tasty food. The ingredients are super fresh and of such good quality. Never had a potato that sweet before. The fish was perfectly cooked.

Unique atmosphere in their historic building and very detailed interior creating an elegant yet cosy environment. The food is pretty good with carefully designed menu, not overwhelming but always satisfying. The wines menu is good, well matching the food. The set menu is also pretty good if you can catch it. The bar next to the main dining area is so good that I sometimes go there early to get a glass before going to the main area.

We had the tasting menu, which is out of our price range but it was a treat, and what a treat! Food is incredible. The creativity and thought that goes into each dish is genius. They use quite nostalgic flavours but in a way you have not seen before. The staff are so passionate, knowledgeable and friendly. They set the chilled out atmosphere, mixed with a cracking playlist. Overall it does not disappoint and well worth saving up for

We visited after receiving a gift voucher for our wedding so we booked peace and love and wow it did not disappoint. We love a tasting menu and this is by far the best one we have done. The food was incredible and there wasn’t one dish we didn’t enjoy. Our server was amazing I didn’t catch her name but we couldn’t believe it when at the end she said she was only her second week in. We thought she had been there for years because of how knowledgeable she was. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting an amazing experience and great food!

What a great experience. "Feast of the palate!!" Stunning culinary experience ...presentation, service ....I really felt so special. The food was stunning. The tasting menu had no number ...after 6 I just stopped at the number...I was amazed by the stunning flavors and textures created. It is a surprise that you do not have a Michelin star, but you deserve it. It is not stuffy or pretentious at all and the entire staff is very genuine and kind. I will tell all my friends and will definitely visit again. Thank you all for a wonderful and truly unforgettable experience.

We had traveled down from the North West and choose Peace & Loaf for a birthday treat. From the moment we stepped in, we were made to feel at home. The service was second to none, and the food was unbelievable. It was a first for us enjoying this kind of food experience, and they've certainly set the bar high.

Absolutely stunning 12 course taster menu with 7 pairing wines. Fantastic service with a friendly welcoming as soon as we walked through the door. Great evening from start to finish. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.

Where to start at this amazing place. Knew it was going to be a challenge for the team, as my wife doesn’t do seafood or spiced up food. So they offered us the Lunch time menu and they got it spot on, making small tweaks to Christine's menu to ensure that there wasn’t anything too spicy in her dishes. I opted for the wine pairing and wasn’t disappointed. I even got a free top up with one of the wines, how good is that. This place truly deserves a five star rating for food and especially service

Dined here today for my Wife’s birthday and opted for the lunch menu. From the front of house service (sorry I didn’t get your name Mr Belfast..) who was exceptional, to the bar staff and of course the cooking staff - everything was above what was expected. The food was sublime and presented beautifully, my photos won’t do it justice. This place is a credit to Bob, Dave and all of the staff. Very highly recommended.

I came with my parents for my birthday and firstly the staff were super accommodating to my mums food preferences which are admittedly quite confusing. They were also super attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were lovely and the food was incredible with generous portions. They packed up all our leftovers very neatly in a bag, didn’t rush us and made our time special. I especially thought the chicken dish was delicious and my mum loved the mandolin dessert. Obviously on the pricey side but worth a visit for a treat. The pictures don’t show all the courses, just a few.

Fancy food rather than fine dining. So incredibly disappointing. Off to a very bad start when 3 seperate staff approached our table to ask if we'd like to order. Another 2 came and asked if we wanted drinks! We ordered a drink and waited - and waited - finally the waitress appeared and went to the wrong table. Then wandered around and went back to the bar. We waited! Eventually with drinks the food came. We had the tasting menu - only it wasn't a tasting menu - a roast chicken dinner or steak (at an extra £50). The first few courses were tasty but nothing extraordinary. Then the Tatar and confit egg - well - a hard boiled egg! It was replaced with apologies but for this kind of money it just wasn't good enough. The evening was saved by Conor - the Irish waiter. Knowledgeable, funny and very good at his job. We were given a discount and a free drink. I would say we had a good time in spite of the place rather than because of it. Could not recommend it on any level. Apparently it had a Michelin Star - once... It's definitely slipped since then.

I have been looking forward to coming here for years. Having worked hospitality and eaten at a lot Michelin restaurants around the world, I had great expectations. You go to restaurants like this for the experience - it’s about the ‘theatre’ - the attention to detail of the wait staff/service, the menu/food/flavours and of course the ambience. While the food was lovely and the staff were friendly - I felt the restaurant doesn’t know what it is. I left feeling that it was a nice dinner - but not to the level that it sells itself as. Service - there was a lack of attention to detail. For instance, we had to top our own water up, we had to ask what the dishes were that we were being served and no one thought about giving us our coats at the end of the night - we had to ask several staff. The prices paid at a restaurant like this, you just can’t switch off - which sadly happened on this Saturday night. Any other restaurant I wouldn’t care - but a Michelin restaurant I expect more. Food - was lovely and very tasty. There were no flavours or combinations that I thought were life changing. There was no amuse-bouche - but the cod and beef were nice. The flavours of the cabbage side with the beef was the most memorable. The wine list was fine - however it is served to you on an iPad which did kind of ruin the ambience of the dinner to look and scroll on an iPad. Ambience - lovely old building - but again I felt there were simple wins that were missed. Staff didn’t split the tables up, so while the restaurant was only half full, they sat us all next to each other and left half of it empty which was odd. The music was also random. Billy Joel, modern pop and not what I would call background music. Lastly, these restaurants tend to be for special occasion destinations. For us it was our 11 year anniversary. When you tell staff they usually make a fuss, or plate your desert with happy anniversary written in chocolate or something random. While it may feel naff - it is important to remember that restaurants like this specialise in ‘special occasion’ dinning. Again, even while knowing it was our anniversary I couldn’t help feeling a bit unloved because nothing was done to make us feel special at all. Not a big deal, but again this is not a normal restaurant, which is reflected in its price. And then the bill came out with a £59 tip automatically put on it (15%). A bit excessive - I wouldn’t normally mind paying it if the service was great - but it was ordinary. I paid it anyway - but I did leave the night with a bad taste in my mouth. So yeah all in all disappointing. If this was a restaurant like 21 - I wouldn’t haven’t have felt the same way - however I wouldn’t have just blowing £450 on a dinner for two.

Fantastic meal, it was quiet (Friday afternoon) but the food and staff were excellent. Good selection of whiskeys and a couple of cracking beers. Recommended.

Very expensive but nothing exceptional about the food. The main course of Sea Bream was very salty and the waitress said she would let the kitchen know!!! It was a special occasion as it was a wedding anniversary which we stated at the time of booking however no attempt was made to make us feel special.

First time visiting house of tides and will unfortunately be the last. Visited as a group of 4 as a celebration on a Friday night. We asked to have a drink downstairs first, there was absolutely no atmosphere downstairs and it was not a cosy or welcoming vibe. The waitress also told us the bar were unable to do two of the cocktails we asked for, despite a chilli margarita being a pretty standard drink these days. When we went upstairs we were not welcomed or asked if it was our first time dining at the restaurant etc. Simply “are you ready to order?” Which took us all by surprise as we had booked a tasting menu so didn’t think we would need to. It was explained that we could upgrade the main course and that’s what we could order, we were also informed that they didn’t have the main course of pheasant available and it would instead be pork. Quite disappointing that a Michelin stared restaurant didn’t have one of their main courses available on a Friday 7pm sitting. The food was presented well, but tasted average and didn’t feel ground breaking, service was alright but didn’t feel smooth or confident, certainly not Michelin level. There isn’t much atmosphere in the restaurant and the toilets give the vibe of a standard cafe and not a Michelin stared restaurant. We had made a note on the booking that the night was a celebration, there was a congratulatory card hidden at the back of our table, a nice touch, however there was spelling error which was just written over, you would think at a Michelin stared restaurant a new card would have been used instead. It’s a little thing, but you would expect better! The bill came to over £800 and everyone left absolutely starving, with cereal and toast required when we got home!! Overall a very, very expensive and disappointing visit. It’s a shame to leave a negative review but when prices are this high you do expect better.

Feels like you’re paying for the name rather than the food. The tasting menu felt very uninspired and rather standard.

We had a lovely time at City Tavern. We had a yummy lunch, including gluten free beer on tap. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian food options available. The vibe inside was lovely and the staff were really really nice and very attentive!! There was free wifi, free charging ports and very comfy chairs. An added bonus is that they show movies for free at 2pm, 5pm and 8pm everyday on their giant outdoor screen!! Such a great vibe, definitely recommend as a stop in during a day in Newcastle.

We had the upstairs for a private event, but the whole of the tavern was gorgeous and fun! The decor was neat, the drinks fresh, and the service impeccable. Fair warning - they aren't joking about the 'giant' Yorkshire pudding, it spans a huge dinner plate!

Absolutely fantastic venue. I organised a scavenger hunt at work and wanted to hide some challenges round the pub. I didn't call ahead, just turned up on the day, hoping they would accommodate. The manager on shift helped out and even joined in by hiding a challenge himself. Super service!!!! I have been here a number of times now, and enjoyed every visit.

Lovely pub, great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Dog friendly :)

Wow, why haven't I ever been here before. Great pub and eatery in the middle of Newcastle. real home cooked food and an array of beverages alcoholic and non alcoholic. Plenty of choice for meat eaters and vegan options. Portions huge!! Staff were lovely and friendly, atmosphere was great too. Decor was fab, so well done. Definitely recommend to anyone. Dog friendly 😌 Gluten free menu 👌

Two meals and two drinks for just over £40 about the going rate now for everywhere. Food was nice (Cajun chicken burger, Slaw, Chips) wasn't much choice from the menu which is sometimes a good thing, veggie options are limited. Service was quick and efficient, still not sure why they have a perspex cover infront of the till which make communication with staff at the bar weird. Someone at the bar asked for Crayon's and to my surprise behind me there was what appeared to be a kids bday party?? it's a pub not a crèche what's wrong this these People? at one point some parents left their kids to leave the pub?? Mind boggles. It's definitely something I've noticed eating out in town these days people are treating pubs as playgrounds for their kids.

Avoid, been for lunch today and spent £47 on 2 sandwiches with chips and 2 drinks. Beef was tough with watery gravy and the fish fingers sandwich had next to no fish in it just batter, definitely not homemade bread and they even managed to make the chips bland. The waiter avoided us once the food arrived and we noticed they only cleared plates once customers had left. Obviously not wanting to hear complaints. As we left 3 lady's were sending back their meals, really wished we had done the same. Expensive drinks and rubbish food would not recommend.

Josh was so lovely, he moved us tables so we were not affected by the wind, de-foamed the Guinness with out complaint amongst other things! He was so great!!!

Lauren served us, the most friendly outgoing girl I have met! So attentive and very talkative making sure we enjoyed our drinks and were satisfied throughout! Will definitely be back all thanks to Lauren!!

Wasn't sure on the staff at first as they didn't greet us when we first arrived on the roof terrace, but we soon found them to be friendly and very attentive. The food was excellent although a little bit slow between courses, however that was fine with us as we were there for a leisurely lunch with drinks as well.

Had lunch today we are regulars and always have the special but they no longer do it. I had the Moroccan lamb and it was disgusting, £19 I wish I had taken a photo, certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Place was empty so not sure if chef has changed and the normal lovely staff weren’t in

Nice meal, service was spot on. Atmosphere and decor give good ambience

The food was good and the staff was very nice and professional but we had long waiting time ... we were waiting more than 20min to start ordering the drinks and the same to order the meal...

I had the bang bang chicken salad. I was a bit disappointed as the salad was like a bag of salad with carrot red cabbage etc not Asian veg as described on the menu. I noticed there were long green beans which were nice and chopped fresh chilli. The chicken was nicely charred. The dressing was more like olive oil which was too much for me personally. No other taste which I would have expected more from bang bang salad.

Service was patchy with the drinks arriving in drips and drabs, and some being spilled on the way. Maybe a tray would have been easier? The waiters were attentive and friendly enough. The coffee was average, however the food was delicious. Seating was canny uncomfortable in the back of the establishment but did look the part. Neither hand dryers were working in the ladies WC. I’d go back and maybe try another drink and definitely a few more dishes I’d like to try too.

A great place for a bite and a drink. Even though seems a bit off the beaten track. Great vibes inside and dog friendly too. We had a lovely brunch here. Great selection of food and drink (wish we were not driving and could have a breakfast Bloody Mary!) Highly recommend hash bowl! Friendly service and reasonable prices!

Quality food! if you’re looking for a quick brunch or lunch place Ernest will not disappoint. The portions are plentiful and prices are generous. On different occasions i’ve tried the sandwiches and pancakes and both have been phenomenal. The sandwiches are made fresh so it differs what is available so try not to leave it too late if this is what you’re hoping to get. the sandwich options aren’t stated on the menu so you have to ask, i think it could be useful to include a separate menu for the sandwich availability if doable, either way it wasn’t an issue for us! they have a large variety of alcoholic and none alcoholic drinks, with a range of fizzy drinks and still, so plenty option. the service is quick so hence the mention if you’re looking for a quick brunch! Staff are lovely and cannot fault the place, fantastic!

Came here for brunch with a couple of friends, food was so tasty and lovely flavours, such a nice calm atmosphere as well, dog friendly also! Service was good but they never brought one of my friends drinks and accidentally put an extra item on menu before realising and removing it. Will go back again.

Breakfast with my wife in my trip in New Castle. Good atmosphere. Coffee is ok. Food is good but a little pricey. Better to reserve a table before you come.

Super chill bar with live music, great bar snacks and food and good selection of drinks. Love the outdoor area and all the fun activities they host!

First time here, didnt know what to expect. I can honestly say we weren't dissapointed. Really friendly, food is so different and delicious. I was spoilt for choice. Would definitely recommend this but book up. Its busy

Really like this place especially for a chill night out. Many options from the hanging board with great selection of beers. Vegan options also available, the pizzas are highly recommended. Friendly and accommodating staff. Cool, funky with great decoration and atmosphere overall

We were originally intending to go to Pizza Punks however when we arrived there was a sign on the door saying that they had ran out of gluten free bases...so we tried Dat Bar instead and were really impressed with the place. My pizza was incredible, had many toppings and tasted even better than what I expected, my partner's gluten free pizza was also great. We both would love to return to this place.

One of the best pizzas in Newcastle, everything done by hand. Proper sourdough base. 10/10. Also a phenomenal selection of local craft beers. A great choice for lunch or dinner for 2’s, small groups or full blown parties or events.

May 2023 edit: sadly they no longer do pizza which is a big loss for Newcastle! Superb pizza! Amazing crust and the Italian sausage is as good as you'd get in Brooklyn! Very centrally located; laid back atmosphere; lovely staff. Done a nice job with a recent restaurant refurbishment. Look at this gorgeous pie!

First time I've eaten here and have to say i I was surprised. Myself & my friend were just grabbing a quick bite while out & about so shared a margherita pizza. Service was quick & friendly and the pizza was decent quality. Although not in my top pizza in Newcastle, it definitely wasn't disappointing by any means.

Good selection of beers and lagers. Also serves food. I would recommend a pizza and skipping the burgers. Bit noisy for me the last two times I went but it can be handy for a meet up before the theatre as it just round the corner from the Theatre Royal.

Really nice pizza at a very good price. Wide selection of beer but at quite a high price though... Very friendly bar staff =)

Depending on which day you visit, it can be very very busy, or very quiet! I visited across two days and noticed the Friday night was jam packed, compared to the Sunday afternoon. We had food on the Sunday but I wasn't impressed. It was quite expensive for what it was. The chips weren't cooked and some were still quite cold/wet. The food just wasn't what I imagined as I had been a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Ground floor access to toilets which is great. It's a big enough bar that you can normally find a free seat!

Called for drinks late afternoon on a Wednesday. A few people in so plenty of choices for seating - booths, sofas and tables for food. Decent selection of beers, and as with other Head of Steam pubs there is something for everyone. Nice friendly service.

Took my mate here and waited outside because I remember last year the food being incredible. What ever happened? Did the chef quit? It’s absolutely unacceptable to serve stale 1 or two day old food to customers. Ordered two burger and chips from here and what came was a joke. Two black thin burgers burned to a crisp which almost took out my tooth. Zero bounce, juice or moisture meaning they probably were sat for a day or two then absolutely nuked to charcoal and served. And if I wasn’t convinced about the stale old food the fries came, again, zero moisture dried dead fries looking slightly green in colour. I tried one and honestly- the texture wasn’t pleasant. It was stale flakes of dried old potato. Chef didn’t even have time to cook the burgers and prepare the meal if it was all done fresh plus the lack of grease would suggest I'm right about the food being old and dry then reheated.

Very nice bar, very good selection of quality beers. Limited menu but what they do is very good. I had the dirty fries which were pretty good. You get a choice of toppings, I went for katsu chicken. The swaharma salad is very good too. They do other stuff like burgers etc. The food came pretty quickly too. Tucked away off the quayside but well worth a visit. Definitely worth a visit.

Me and my partner always make sure we visit this place when coming up to visit family in Newcastle. Very friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere, great beers and more. We had a meal here not too long ago on a very busy Saturday, and still couldn’t fault the service or delicious food. I’ll make it my mission some day to have one of their sharing boards to myself.

The Head Of Steam Quayside stands out for all the right reasons which is no easy feat given there’s hardly a shortage of pubs in Newcastle. Love the interior, plenty of personality and character. The layout is not so cramped that it’s overwhelming, not so spread out that it loses atmosphere, spot on. Not tried the food from here yet so can’t comment on that. Fast and reliable service, good selection of drinks, dog friendly, and in a brilliant location.

I give this place 5 stars for it's Craft Beer selection in cans and bottles. A great selection of hazys, pales and lagers not to mention a really good selection of Belgium bottles. They even have a nice selection of drafts. Not overly adventurous but still better than the same ol stuff you find everywhere. I didn't eat here but I can whole heartedly recommend it for a place to relax and enjoy a pint. Be it Craft beers, Belgium triples, or drafts.

Fantastic meal at Kiln. As quite the foodie I struggle to find great places, with good food and service in Newcastle. My first time down the Ouseburn and Kiln was 10/10. The place is cosy, buzzing atmosphere also loved the cosy fire outside. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu isn’t huge but plenty to choose from, food was super tasty. We had the hummus, green labneh, chicken skewers, cucumber salad with tomato, pita and a sea bass. Very good, full of flavour. Would recommended to anyone only thing missing is a decent pudding!

Stopped here for another brilliant breakfast. We'd never had a Pide before, and the softness of the bread with the middle eastern herbs was just so tasty. We also had the steak and eggs, because why not? Well cooked, with great accompanying sauces. Chilled out tunes wafted across the venue, which was warm and toasty.

Great place! Been twice for a mix of dinner vegetarian sharing plates. - The ciabatta is great 🍞 - The Muhammara (red pepper, walnut dip) is delicious 🌶️ - The side salad was great and freshly cut to order 🥒 🍅 🧅 - potatoes were amazing - the herby green topping! 🥔 🌿 - best thing on the menu is the chargrilled leek 🤤 Thank you Alex, Richard and team. Really beautiful welcoming people 🙏🏽☺️

Really tasty winter brunch in warm cosy restaurant. The service here is always exceptional and the quality of food is very high. The butterbean with poached eggs was one of the best flavour combinations we have had. Have also tried the steak and eggs recently and was really impressed with the flavours and ingredients. This is one of our favourite places to eat. Highly recommended.

Lovely place with delicious food and friendly staff. We went during the weekend and got to see the brunch menu. Slightly limited options compared to the dinner menu. Most of the options are vegetarian or can be modified to be vegetarian but there wasn't much GF options for brunch.

Lovely brunch this morning as a large group. Staff were attentive. Yes there was a mix up over an order but that was not the staffs fault at all. Overall the staff were attentive and welcoming. Judging our groups arrival times and ensuring everyone was see too. My steak was delicious and others in the group that ordered also agreed. Will definitely return to sample more of the menu and try some of the scrummy looking cakes.

What a delight of a restaurant! Our first time in Kiln last night and it certainly won’t be the last. What a gorgeous atmosphere and the food was incredible. A joy to have some non alcoholic options that weren’t full of sugar too. We had such a great time we didn’t even take pictures of the food! I’d highly recommend the sweet potato and feta, chicken and the leek dish. Thank you all for a wonderful dining experience!

The food is undeniably well cooked, well thought out, nicely presented and I believe locally sourced. There's not much info on the menu I could see though (other than a bakery) advising where the chicken, beef or veg is from, so you just have to go the assumption it is? For me the price point/portion sizes are out of whack, in July 2025 it was £11 for the 2 croquettes pictured. The chicken salad at the same price had the most meagre portion of chicken I have ever seen, it would have equated to a single thigh or a third of a chicken breast. Cookhouse have done incredibly well from their humble origins, all credit to them but I won't be returning as it is overpricing its dishes in my opinion.

Wonderfully thought-out menu with locally and internationally farmed and foraged produce. Interesting flavour combinations with both Asian and Mediterranean influences. Fresh ingredients and the quality speaks for itself. The Menu is created daily and the selection is guaranteed to please any palate.

We had an exceptional lunch out on the terrace, enjoying the last of the summer sun. What a great place, attentive but chill service, and great food across the board. Fresh, light salads with great flavour throughout. The chocolate terrine to finish was a delight.

Came here with my parents to celebrate my graduation and had the nicest time! The food and drinks were both interesting and delicious, my favourites were the tempura cauliflower starter and the clarified Bloody Mary which was completly clear in colour! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great quality while pretty casual dinner.

Expensive but it is fine dining Food was delicious, home baked bread to start was a nice touch. Service brilliant Service charge added to bill Would recommend However portions are small think you need 3 courses to ensure you don't leave hungry.

Definitely a different and exciting menu from other restaurants we have been to. Walked in off the street and we able to accommodate a table for 4 people. Great service. Can recommend this restaurant. Michelin star chef to boot. Thank you.

Very cool atmosphere, waiter was great and knowledgeable. Managed to get there one of their last nights for their seasonal bbq. Lambs chops were🔥
