Bar + Block Steakhouse in Newcastle upon Tyne

This is a bar, restaurant and hotel in one. This is a lively place with live music with a wide range of tastes. The staff were very busy and very nice, engaging and looked after us well. The stakes are amazing and very well cooked to taste and were amazing. They accommodate for families of all sizes as well as other types of groups. My children (12 to 18) had a great time. The menu is online a caters for younger children as well. There I a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks e.g. soft drinks and 0% alcohol drinks like Guiness. Very much worth a visit. Although we didn't stay the night, this is a great location for a night out, watching the football as its very close to St James park or even if yiubare visiting a show or shopping.

We didn't realise when booking that this was part of the Premier Inn (so effectively like a Beefeater). We waited 45 minutes to receive our drinks which came at the same time as our meal. Everything was so over priced and underwhelming. The chicken souvlaki was dry and tough and at a cost of £20.50 is embarrassing. Our bill for four people cost £140 (one round of drinks and a main meal only) which was outrageous, the service was terrible, no one acknowledged us and the food was sub standard at best. We didn't dare order another drink as we'd have had to stay for another 45 minutes! The website and menu price gives the impression that this is a top quality steak restaurant, which I can wholeheartedly tell you it is not!

Such a lovely place! Absolutely gorgeous food! We were served by James who was an absolute star and so friendly, as were all the staff! Would 100% recommend!

This restaurant made a special order for my sister who has terminal cancer, beautifully cooked and brought tears to many eyes. She can barely eat so this was a special moment, one of her favorite tastes. Good onya!

Didn't have the best start food came cold but to be fair they quickly took it away and brought out fresh , in a busy place it happens no real issue and staff were more than helpful would def return

Me and my partner went here for dinner for our anniversary. Food and drinks were amazing as were all the staff, especially Aidan who went above and beyond to make the night a special one. Thank you :)

Decent breakfast, which was nice and warm. The chef was happy to crispy bacon and poached eggs. Plenty to choose from the continental side aswell

Visited with friends for an afternoon catch up. All staff for welcoming, engaging and helpful. The manager was present on the floor, service was very pleasant. Cocktails and food faultless Definitely will visit again.

Food is amazing. Staff are so friendly. I’ll recommend this place 👍🏻

Came here for a birthday meal for my son. The place was completely empty on a Sunday afternoon, which should have been our first warning. Service was great, James the waiter was spot on, however the food was very poor. Wife ordered the three steak tasting dish, cooked medium. All 3 steaks came well done. Burnt bits burger was disappointing, dry with some chips on the side. The boy's steak with prawns was also overdone, however £6 for two prawns wasn't the best value. Considering the chef's had no one else to cook for, this should have been perfect, it wasn't. I'll stick to Miller & Carter in future.

Staff great very attentive, friendly and helpful. Food really good, only comment, may be personal taste but I thought my scallops and king prawns were overdone.

went early on a sunday just before the footy match,,service,food,venue all good,,,i could of eaten more steak..not coz portions are small..coz i live woth a veggie and once and while need a meat fix.🤣

One of the better English meals we've had in the past two weeks we've been in UK. Interesting range of food too. And service was friendly and prompt, with an eye on keeping us comfortable and informed. Best experience among restaurants.

Visited for breakfast Great value as kids eat for free.

Good steak drinks prices expensive

Love this place. Unreal food. Staff are so welcoming

We got served by Louis last night and he was an absolute pleasure! He was so lovely and friendly. Very welcoming. It was our first time here so he set the whole atmosphere for our first visit and he did not disappoint!!

Birthday Celebration so a wonderful treat All 4 of Us had different food from the menu & none of us were disappointed.. Shout out to all the small plate dishes.. Awesome Asian Beef & Scallops Wow… Seafood Main was Immense Staff were friendly & attentive Definitely be back very very soon

Ate here as part of Premier Inn stay. Dinner was fairly standard fare. Breakfast was the usual hot buffet. It was OK.

A good deal on cocktails resulted in here two nights. Good quality food. Highly recommend the steak sampler. Gluten free options available. Staff friendly and attentive.

I came without really knowing where to go, in the end I ate well! This restaurant will surprise you, the dishes are of quality and the price is not excessive There is room, you can come with friends or family The central location makes getting there quite easy Don’t hesitate to try one of their many beers!

We thought we would give this place a go after reading several very good reviews and we weren't disappointed. There was a 2 for 1 cocktail offer on so I had two delicious 'Old Fashioned's, with Glenfiddich and an orange twist, whilst my wife ordered two Martinis. Both drinks were lovely. We ordered a three plate starter - Bar + Block do a selection of small plates as starters and we selected garlic prawns, 'burnt ends' and a crispy Chinese dish. I didn't like the sound of the 'Burnt Ends' but this turned out to be my favourite dish. It's just the offcuts from the steaks but the meat has been marinated in a wonderful sauce. My wife enjoyed the Chinese dish the best despite it being a little spicy and she not having much tolerance for spicy food. We both ordered the sirloin steaks, mine with chunky chips and my wife's with a baked potato. The side sauces were a little disappointing - the Bar + Block signature sauce was vinegary and reminded us both of HP sauce. I didn't think it went well with the steak but was an ok accompaniment to the chips. The Mexican sauce was more of a finely chopped salad. Perhaps it was just not what I was expecting. Both our steaks were delicious though. Perfectly cooked and seared closed. Very juicy and full of taste. Our side order of onion rings was just that but nicely cooked too. The service was great - Ben being very attentive and friendly - as were all of the staff. Prices are good for Newcastle and the quality of the food. The offer on the cocktails helped too.I would recommend this place and we would consider going back if we are in the area.

This is spot is great for steaks and cocktails the raspberry margaritas was my favourite. I was greeted at the door by manager James who sat me to my table and introduced me to my server Lana who was more than helpful during the visit. Overall this restaurant is great for its location and the small plate deals they do! Great value at great price.

Lovely place great service and nice food would highly recommended to people

Very nice place good service and great food would definitely recommend to people how are looking for a place to have a few drinks or just some food

Great hotel, great atmosphere and amazing food. Nice venue for anything you could want, nice staff too, will be returning

Popped into Bar + Block in Newcastle for lunch and tried the steak and cheese sandwich—so good! The steak was spot on. The staff were really friendly and made the whole experience great. Loved the chilled vibe of the place, perfect for a relaxing lunch. Definitely worth a visit!

Genuinely the worst bottomless brunch in newcastle. Booked (1 week) in advance as a group of 9 and each person paid an extra £5 for the cocktail upgrade. 1 hour and 40 mins in and no one has had more than 3 cocktails. When trying to ask the staff for another one we were met with a man rolling his eyes and saying it was because we were a big group - we were a group of 9, if there was an issue with this why did they take the booking? Next was by a rude woman who didn’t even look at us before shouting ‘1 minute’ and was never to been seen again. Eventually they bring out our next drinks without the shots and then told us this is because they need to shot glasses from our table. Why was our table not cleared prior to this and why did we even need to ask for the shots to begin with. So from here we wait another 15 mins for the shots to come out and by this time our ‘bottomless’ brunch is over. Honestly shocking service, wouldn’t recommend to anyone!

James was amazing ! We had bottomless brunch and even thought it was sooo busy he always had a smile on his face and was happy to serve us, when ordering food my friend was a bit drunk and constantly changing what meal he wanted to order and instead of getting annoyed James laughed and joked with us, we even asked him if he was going out afterwards because he was so great!😂 It’s Ladies day so it was very busy and the service was slower than usual but still everyone was lovely and had a smile on their face and James especially made our night he is an asset to the team

First time visit, scanned the menu and went for the steak taster block. Was a fantastic choice. Steak cooked perfectly, all cuts were tasty and no waste. Left the table full and looking forward to a return visit.

Absolutely the best steak I have had in a long time, service was great it wasn’t busy while there but super fast service food was with us in 15 minutes cooked the way I like it and the little beefy popcorn snack was crazy.

Sea bass ok but the house salad disappointing.........avocado conspicuous by its absence and way too much red onion. Service good and staff friendly so not all bad.

Service was perfect! Laura and Andrew specifically were very pleasant members of staff. Would come again!

What can I say. The food was amazing. It was technically sausages and chips, but it was so much more... wholly recommend the Butchers Bangers Block with a side of Salt + Pepper squid followed by the Belgian chocolate cookie dough. Fan flipping tastic!!

Save your money. Really not good. Burger was sooo dry, chips and onion rings were overcooked and the steak?? £40 for a fillet that tasted of absolutely nothing. Seasoned with literally air. It was really quiet for a Saturday evening and I’m not surprised after tasting the food. Service was okay apart from the guy asking if we want to tip which is weird to ask.

Booked for bottomless lunch for 3 with cocktails. The manager greeted and sat us then introduced us to Lana our waitress. From there we had great food, the best service and everything was delicious both main course and deserts. Will definitely recommend to friends and will certainly be returning.

That was the blandest burger i’ve ever eaten

Amazing food & staff. Have never felt more welcomed dining somewhere. Food was fantastic and lovely quality. Will absolutely be returning

Food was lovely and 2-1 cocktails amazing deal. Staff were friendly would come back

After football, so was a bit loud and proud from the Toon, but added to the experience. Food great, service great. Enjoy folks . We did.

Lovely food and friendly staff. We will go back

Bottomless brunch was fantastic food was really good and service excellent The attention from Madeline was first class

Loved it, little bit pricey, watch the world go by, bar staff very nice!

Great food great service and a place i would recommend, just be aware its a mid to high end establishment with prices to match, not a cheep meal out but worth every penny.

Part of premier inn lovely place great staff thankyou all BRUMMIE 👍👌

Classic burger was same as my hoodie - Superdry. The patty was overcooked, the bun did not look fresh.

What a place!! Went for bottomless brunch with 14 work colleagues. The food service was incredible but the drink service was a 10/10. We all had a starter the Mac + cheese bites were on point as the for the main which most of us had a steak sandwich which was cooked to perfection. Food came out all together considering we was a large group. The drinks service was fast and was definitely bottomless my glass was never empty. The servers were friendly and always made sure we had drinks. The manager (Laura) was so lovely and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants great food, lovely atmosphere and amazing drinks at a fantastic price ☺️

Lovely food and atmosphere. Great service with friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back!

Lovely food and staff very knowledgeable on allergies definitely recommend

I recently dined at Bar + Block Steakhouse in Newcastle, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. One of the main issues was with the portion size of the steak. Despite being advertised as a 14-ounce serving, the reality fell far short of expectations. The steak I received was significantly smaller, leaving me feeling unsatisfied and shortchanged.Moreover, the pricing of the food was exorbitant for the quality and quantity offered. While I understand that steakhouse dining can be on the pricier side, the value simply wasn't there. The lacklustre portion sizes coupled with the high prices made for a disappointing dining experience overall.Additionally, the ambience of the restaurant was underwhelming, lacking the upscale atmosphere one would expect from a steakhouse. The service was also lackadaisical, with slow and inattentive waitstaff.Overall, I cannot recommend Bar + Block Steakhouse Newcastle based on my experience. The subpar portion sizes and overpriced menu items make it difficult to justify returning or recommending it to others.

We were served by Madeleine and she was absolutely lovely- friendly and bubbly and looked after us so well. We will be back :)

I went for the salmon and my other half went for the short rib, which were both fantastic. Our server recommended the trio of desserts which finished off the meal nicely. Great wine and cocktail selection, will be back.

Cold, drab atmosphere and dull, bland and relatively expensive food. Would not recommend

Foods taste good, satisfied tummy and staff service is great.❤️

Amazing welcome from Jordan, seated at a lovely table. We both had the lunch offer menu for appetising. Very filling. Courtesy checked for everycourse. Offered puddings coffees etc. Bill paid cash tip also. Very enjoyable experience.

I have just been in today for my dinner with my mam for Mother’s Day, we were greeted by a very pleasant young man who showed us to our table, we ate off the Mother’s Day menu, the food was lovely and the beef was great, all food was tasty and hot and the service was great by a young lady. Thank you for today, I would recommend

I visited on a Saturday with my partner for a meal, we wanted to try a different steakhouse and we weren’t disappointed. Small plate style starters were delicious, especially the beef burnt ends. We went for the chateaubriand sharer and all I can say is ‘wow’. Cooked to perfection and served with several sides included. It was great value and a really impressive steak. The waiter mentioned that they butcher their own steaks and you can tell as the quality was amazing. We were too full for dessert but sampled several cocktails from the extensive menu, also great value on a 2 for 1 offer. Server was fantastic and the place had a lively, laid back, atmosphere. We will definitely visit this hidden gem again!

We visited for Bottomless Lunch on a Saturday and really enjoyed it. The choice of cocktails is great, delicious 2 course lunch and superb fast service. Much better than other Bottomless lunches that I’ve been to before, and it was for a full 2 hours. The main menu sounded lovely too so I plan the return to try that soon. The atmosphere was buzzing, lively background music and a bustling bar.

Brilliant customer service and food was lovely

Food was bland , there was no garnish on the steak and chips, you had to catch staff as they passed if you wanted anything and service was very slow and very over priced for what you got. Would not recommend if you want a good meal and good service.

I ordered the short rib brisket burger which was supposed to come with crispy onions, they were missing, the chips were overdone. The food had been sitting on the counter under the lights for a very long time. The staff were too busy with people drinking to see to diners. The food is expensive and more care should be taken to ensure it is of a decent standard.

One of if not the best place I’ve eaten in Newcastle

We booked Bottomless brunch for my birthday for 7 people. Food was delicious with generous portion sizes and cocktails were made fresh not pre mixed weak cocktails like other bottomless brunch venues. We all felt like it was very good value for money. Staff couldn't be any more friendly they made us feel very comfortable. Thankyou we will definitely be back.

We love Bar n Block in Edinburgh and thought they would all be similar standard. Nope. This was awful. £22.50 for the fish platter. Fish was way overcooked and inedible. It wasn’t cooked over a char grill as advertised. Prawn was inedible. Fries were overcooked.No advertised samphire on the plate. It was sitting under the lights on counter for ages before coming to table, we could see it. Service was very poor. Staff were more interested serving drinks in the bar area. Total waste of £70, with no refund for inedible food. Would never go back. I guess the amount of people in should have told us something. Other restaurants were all busy.

Lovely food as always , very busy though we were served quickly. + the hospitality was great, staff were professional and equally friendly.

Managed to get a table for 5 without booking. Good range of food and a couple of vegan main dishes which was welcome as often you’re lucky to get one in some places. I’ve been to a few restaurants in the chain and quality and service is always good.

Ok on par for a Premier Inn - dinner was ok but breakfast was very good

Lovely steak restaurant, staff excellent. Been to a few steak restaurants and this is definitely up there with my favourites ! Will be back !

Whilst staying in Newcastle we visited the bar and block! My partner is still doing dry jan even though it’s in feb. We asked the bar tender for advice and settled for the 00 Guinness. As soon as we sat down the glass fell and the drink covered the table and floor. Ben the bar tender came over swiftly mopped the floor and gave us a free pint of Guinness. What lovely service and what a lovely young chap

Amazing place with a great atmosphere. Staff were all lovely and kind. Couldn’t recommend anymore.

Lovely food and good service but the experience was ruined by the extremely loud radio show blasting our ears throughout our meal. This was invasive and made the atmosphere horrible and put us off ever returning.

Feel like someone dies in here !!! No music !!! No live The cocktail was good !!!

Steaks were excellent. Staff service for both dinner and breakfast was excellent. Friendly and helpful. I will eat here again when in Newcastle.

Found this place for breakfast and was surprised at the price being £10 for all you can eat Buffett. Was served by Aiden and he was clear on how things work making it my the experience flow nicely. He made sure my demands were met as I requested poached eggs and porridge and didn’t hesitate to supply.

Really nice food. Great price for a lunchtime 2 or 3 course special. Really nice venue and top class, friendly and attentive service. Will go again 😊

Had a lovely night dining here last night. Had a meal deal booked in and was attended to by the lovely Aiden. He made sure we were satisfied with our experience. We hadn’t had a meal deal here before but Aiden made sure we fully understood and helped us with his personal recommendations. Would definitely return.

Steak à 36 pounds SEC et frites surgelées ???

Great choice of good quality cocktails and 2 for 1 before 8pm excellent value. Lovely fillet steak, cooked medium as requested. Would like it if mild French Mustard was offered with steaks. Special thank you to Aiden our lovely server.

Aiden a fabulous server attentive value for money Food was value for money and cocktails were very well made and again value for money

Went for cocktails and was attended to by 2 fantastic bar staff Neve and Aiden who were so happy and extremely pleasant. Fully attentive and recommended some amazing cocktails. Stronly recommend going to this bar. Lovely staff, amazing surrounds and outstanding cocktails. Loved the 2...

The food and service were excellent.

We came here as a group of friends for a Christmas night out. We had food and drinks and loved it. The service was fantastic and the place had such a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Awful Waited an hour for food which was stone cold when it came ! No sign of manager. waiter implied we should be grateful for no change for the cold food not eaten

I had the pleasure of staying at the Gate Premier Inn on Saturday for two nights, a venue I have visited countless times before, and I'd like to make it very clear that they are 100% solid. However, on a busy Saturday before Christmas they...

Great service and wonderful food, the steak in particular was cooked perfect. Ordered medium/rare and it was spot on - so tasty and very much worth the money - better than I’ve had at any other restaurant! Friendly staff, in particular James and Aidan. Will...

Never been before but went for bottomless brunch with around 20 friends. Really impressed with the service and food. We were really looked after and nothing was too much trouble. Drinks were readily available. Would definitely go back. Thanks!!

Very tasy food, nice place and good prices !!!! kostantina, who works there was very helfull and kind we hope to visiti again the steak house

A store that is racist. When we arrived, a female staff member took care of us. However, a male staff member saw us at the entrance and guided us to seats near the entrance. We were the only ones seated near the entrance. we were very cold.

The website gives it more credit than in reality, I was expecting a decent steakhouse however it wasn’t as such, it is connected to the premier inn, the food was ok, nothing special but was ok, the steak I had was cooked good, and the...

Really poor food, took a long time for drinks, and simple things not done correctly. Attitude from staff was poor. I'll be amazed if the venue lasts, for a meal costing over a £100 for 2 people that was not a good experience.

Having been to Bar & Block in London, which was brilliant, I convinced my friends to attend this Bar & Block in Newcastle. Polar opposites!!!! Poor food, poor service and small portions for the cost. Had to send one main course back as it was...

The food was absolutely delicious, was definitely the best food at bottomless brunch I've had. Service was extremely quick also considering we were a large group. We were all accommodated for on the day. Would go again 100%

Great food Great staff Definitely be back 5 ⭐️ Staff were so friendly and so helpful Gluten Free option’s available and not a problem

Overall good food. I stayed at the Premier Inn for quite some nights. I would have given 5 stars for food if it wasn’t for the inconsistency of their dishes. I had 2 times the tomato bruschetta and the first time it did not have a sauce on it which it had the 2nd time. The same happened with the rump steak, the first time it did not have a sauce it had on the 2nd time. Still, I recommend this place, especially the fish & chips, rump steak, tomato bruschetta (not the burger) and the chocolate torte for dessert. Also, the breakfast is good.

Amazing staff catering for our netball club, which couldn’t have been easy! The staff were friendly and helpful, and very understanding. Food and drinks were great too!

Was a Christmas social and, the staff couldn’t have been more attentive or helpful. The food was lovely and the variety of drinks for a Bottomless Brunch was brilliant - everyone had a great time! 😊

We booked here for a works bottomless brunch. Food was amazing. We were served drinks as soon as we had finished ours. Great food and service. Thank you to Aiden.

Booked bar and block for works Christmas night out. Great food and service was great! Aiden looked after us really well and made sure we felt very welcome.

Great food great drinks great atmosphere!! Definitely will be back with the family, service was quick and drinks were brilliant
