The Tyne Bar Reviews Summary

Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

• "Live music is played regularly and outdoor seating offers a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy a few drinks while looking across the river."
• "This is hands down my favourite bar in Newcastle. I can't even explain why. Excellent location with it being in Ouseburn and next to the river. Brilliant on a sunny day."
• "Properly enjoyed Tyne Bar yet again yesterday. Superb pint selection, incredibly tasty sweet potato fries & interesting toppings - cracking music, with a band playing."
• "The outside seating area is partly covered by the bridge that makes it perfect on a rainy evening."
• "Great atmosphere, delicious variety of craft beer."
• "Atmosphere is great too, very relaxing and nice view."
• "Great place, lovely staff and fantastic live music."

Cons:

• "No parking lot."
• "Pub is only good for hipsters and pretentious uni students."
• "But selling beer in plastic glasses and telling people the glass washer is working. How way man I've been coming here on and off for years and it's the same old story."
• "Absolute disgrace. Just visited this establishment as a group of 14 having emailed to pre warn them and them replying telling us to just turn up, to be asked to leave because they don’t serve groups in fancy dress."
• "Ps. Only disappointing thing is I can't find any information on the tyne bar website about disabled access or toilets."
• "Also, music selection was awful. Filled with cliche songs which they clearly only played for the irony."
• "But service slow.. And no one cleaning tables etc.."

Food & Drink

Cons:

• "Need to stock some Newcastle brown ale up was only thing negative!"
• "Meals were tasty but not much in the way of traditional pub grub."
