Went on Sunday afternoon (visiting from N Ireland). We were looking to go to see a live band and found this place. It’s really quirky, the band were great, loved it. I tried the Moonshider, cider and moonshine, tasted of apples and cinnamon, very tasty 🤤

Incredible place to visit, with a wide selection of drinks on offer and live bands that will blow your socks off. This venue just goes from strength. Ive heard they’ve had a change in management since September (good!) and I didn’t think it was possible to get any better but it certainly has! If I was wearing a cap I would doff it to the industrious and convivial staff that operate behind the bar. Just amazing. They’ve made me fall in love with Pickle juice so much that I’ve even asked my family for a jar for Christmas! 🤞 (PS also Great lighting in there)

I’m really lucky to have Billy’s opposite to where I work. We go in often and the staff are always brilliant! The atmosphere is great, nice levels of music so you’re not shouting at each other. The range of drinks is extensive, 100% recommend an espresso martini. Food is always fast and really tasty! Try and get in for some love music it’s a brilliant location for a band! Thanks for the brilliant service last night, 100% started my Christmas break with a bang!

Fantastic little venue with some great live music on whenever I've been on the weekends. Great selection of original drinks and cocktails to match the theme of the bar and prices are good as well. They've even got a happy hour on from like 4-8pm every day of the midweek too! It's fantastic value and makes it my favourite place to go in Ouseburn.

Service was disgusting. The blond haired women behind the bar told me at 11.45 she couldn't serve me a can of schofferhoffer becuase they were closing. I would not have minded at all being a worker in retail but continued to serve 7 people after me. I was upset and felt left out and discriminated against! Horrible!

Better than the old Billy Bootleggers needed a space as big as this the whole time. Great music,drink and atmosphere. Go here instead of the centre of town. Was a deal on too 35 percent off to 20 percent mon-fri before 8pm. I'm still here on last Friday before Xmas paying way less than near by bars.

Billy's is a gem in the crown of the Ouseburn Valley. It's a top venue for drinks, food and live events! It's been great to get down there on a week day out of the hustle and bustle of town for the football on the big projector and screens. The food and kitchen is amazing! I've had the spicy beef burritos a few times and it's always so tasty and with good chips. Bar staff are friendly and know their stuff when it comes to drinks. You should definitely give it a go!

Great slice of americana in the heart of Ouseburn! Perfect dive bar style but with the all the modern twists! Bar staff were really knowledgeable, she (ginger girl) helped me pick some moonshine and was super friendly too. Great atmosphere and perfect for a chilled night in the area!!! I can imagine the courtyard section is amazing in the summer with some live music and drinks flowing.

Billy's is an awesome place to be fab music and atmosphere and im obsessed with the posters/adverts etc so fun! There's not much space indoors to sit down so got stuck in the outdoor bit which is warm enough and dry as its undercover the cover of the viaduct but it stinks as its a smoking area! That's the only downside to it but if you don't mind that it's fine! The alcoholic drinks are lush and prices really reasonable theres loads of quirky choices but not so many non alcoholic choices! It's dog friendly which is always great we were there with our son aswell on a Sunday afternoon was great being able to listen to some live music together.

The single doorway with neon sign "Bourbon and blues" meant we nearly missed Billy bootleggers. The band were great more rock n roll than blues and my brother and I must have been the only people not drinking pint size cocktails which resulted in some very free spirited dancing we loved it

Always loved this bar and went to for possibly the last time on last Saturday. Still the same great atmosphere and amazing music that kept me coming back. Was sadly disappointed with the apparent disregard for social distancing within the venue and the prevalence of people wandering around without wearing masks. Would have stayed longer but felt very uncomfortable with how close people were getting to me. Hope they can get people back under control so we can all get through this asap.

Quirky little dive bar atmosphere, offers a range of cocktails with their own twists, especially the long islands with a wide array of changes to suit everyone. Live music is well balanced sound-wise and caters to a wide variety of people, more specially those rockabilly inclined, but enjoyable none the less. Large selection of spirits although the draught is a little lacking. Billy's moonshine is a must try, although just a cocktail, it still delivers a satisfying punch.

Unique little bar. Blink and you will miss it. Unfortunately the draft lager was off but they did have a small selection of bottled lagers. Other sore point was no toilet roll in the ladies 🙈. Reason for 3 stars! Tried the famous apple pie Jar. Very sweet and 'Strong'. Nice atmosphere in the bar, coupled by the distinctive voice of local singer Jonny Boyle. Throughly enjoyed his music and crowd pleasing. Staff friendly and assistive. Will come again with tissues ;)

Friendly staff, good food at very reasonable prices. Good selection of draft/cask ale. Bit of a hike to the loo up a tight staircase, but no more so than a Spoons and it had some really interesting posters so was worth the walk. Really busy ... which is a good sign. Definitely a popular place. Interesting to see somewhere so busy on a Saturday afternoon. Great new find for me.

Bubble T Breaklocation-icon1 Cross StreetAsian

Got a taro milk tea with tapioca from here a week ago. It was very good, had a nice taro flavour and I got it warmed. I don’t normally get my bubble teas warm but I asked for no ice and warmed was the only option I had, unless I had just misheard the cashier. Prices are pretty good and there’s charging ports near most of the seats so that’s really useful. There’s not as many flavour options as some other bubble tea shops but I will still come again to try the other flavours they have.
