Review:
Very large modern
glass fronted pub with two floors.
The pub has a bar on each floor and an open air
roof terrace upstairs. The bar is beautifully
decorated throughout with a maroon and beige colour scheme and
smart wooden flooring.
Downstairs there is a long semi- circular bar. The pub is very bright and airy by day
with a glass exterior which offers an exceptional
view of the Gateshead Millennium bridge, Sage Music Centre and the Baltic on the riverside.
This view is even more spectacular from the roof terrace.
The décor throughout the pub is very modern with
plenty of seating in all areas. The main bar
downstairs has a raised seating area at one end for diners that also
has comfortable leather backed seating and a large
glass mirror above an open fireplace. There is also
wooden tables and chairs in the other parts of
the
bar where meals can now be served. At the other end of the bar there is some leather settees and small booths.
The upstairs has a smaller bar and also has
some comfortable seating with meals also served in this area. The bar is exceptionally busy at all
times, especially at weekends, attracting an up
market clientele, local business people and
Quayside revellers. There is regular music playing at all
times with a resident DJ and
Live music
is also a feature on certain nights. In the summer
on occasion there is seating outside in the area next to the
Quayside. A cash link machine is located near to the toilets.
Private areas can be hired in the bar - ask at bar for details.
Disabled access is second to none with a
lift to the upstairs bar and a small lift to the
raised area in the main bar. There is also a
designated disabled toilet on the lower level. The toilets are very
modern, clean and smart.Check
