Cafe 19 in North Tyneside

Every visit there is an unforgettable experience. The intimate setting, with just the right number of seats, made it feel like the live band was playing just for us. The bands who played were top-notch, like listening to a genuine recorded music. It just creates the perfect vibe for a great night out. The food was delicious and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. It's the kind of exclusive spot that feels like a well-kept secret, and I can't wait to go back!

Chill crowd, hot performances from our local Filipino musicians. Visiting 19 East takes me back to great memories.

Best live music venue in the south.

First time to go in 19 east, I am from the central area of Metro Manila. The 90's band lineup was awesome. Parking was ok, they issued a numbering scheme which organized the people going inside. They charge the patrons for 1,500 none consumable, if you got a 200 patrons or 100, that will be 150,000 to 300,000 already for entrace. Only thing that seems to be not fair and right was the pricing of the food and drinks, as beer cost 190, sisig was 350, and bakes mussels was 450, and rice was 90 bucks plus vat. Given the pricing it is overcharging. You can get baked mussels in Red Crab for 260 and 250. I guess that is what you get when you eat then want to see a band as well, but if you think they are already charging an entrance which covers the payment to the bands, so the price should be slightly higher maybe on the restaurant price as well. So next time, we will be eating outside on a regular restaurant before going at 19 east. We will only be watching next time and not patronizing any of their food and drinks. I know it is a business they need to cover the expenses for staff and aircon electricity etc, but I think the price is still bloated, and the ownership are taking advantage of the patrons who likes music in my opinion.

Place ok. service failed. Food and drinks pricey. 😔 😟

Went here on a Friday night to catch the Side A band. The sound system here is top notch --- clear and crisp, walang sabog na tunog unlike most bars. It's like hearing the artists live as if they're in the recording studio. Their gambas is also good! Tasty and shrimps are undoubtedly fresh, far from frozen tasting ones. Will certainly be back.

Love their selection of acoustic bands! Service crews are very attentive and render a fast service even if there’s a lot of people in the bar.

Yes it is the most important factor in your fashion

Small cafe with lovely friendly staff and great food at very acceptable prices. Egg Benedict were fabulous. Panini quiche and salad all really good and well presented.

Love the homey atmosphere and garden area although it needs to be maintained more. I was pleasantly surprised that food is quite good, tasty, juicy with huge servings and much better than most bars. The bands are just kinda dated and half the songs performed by the band were lesser known to me and not really something you can groove to (probably also depends on your generation though). The stage lighting was fairly modern for a bar in the South area and it seems like they also had an LED screen background. All in all enjoyed the experience and a decent alternative for the music bars in the North area.

Side A's performance was fantastic. If only the sound had been well-mixed, it would have been even better without those feedback issues. Additionally, the lighting programming needs much improvement. Despite these aspects, I still enjoyed the night overall. Well done

Nice place to chill with friends when you want to have quick night out. Also, they feature local bands that we all love.

Very nice place for event gathering

Nice locations overseeing the city of metro with fresh air blowing the whole open area. There's also a free band performing live at night.

Always here for UDD and Armi Millare. I hope they will always give shows for my favorites 😍🥰🤩 will definitely come back for them, anytime! hahaha 🤗

Bands for that particular night - 21st of Feb - Lovecore, Hey June!, 6CycleMind and of course The Dawn - were really excellent! Sound system was good, the techs were excellent, waiters were attentive. Food is just not that good for the price!

A great place for live music. Parking is not a problem. The outdoor sitting is also very nice since it affords vistas of Laguna de Bay. Too bad, I'm from Quezon City.

Great atmosphere, delicious food (a bit pricey, but hey, you want good service, you should pay for it). First to come serve seats, so if you want to have front seats, you must come early. Quite tricky to go around when it is a full house but still, you will enjoy the atmosphere. It will not disappoint you.

The hype about this place is true. It is one of, if not the best sounding venue I've ever played short of high-end private events. The people manning the tech booth know what to do and are very accommodating with requests and preferences, especially when communicated with enough time for them to set things up properly. Bring your own gear for better chances at nailing that perfect 19 East experience. Bucket list and for the books level stuff. Highly recommended. Also, apart from it being a gig place, it also has a big, lovely al fresco garden area, with trees, a fountain, an outdoor bar, and even seating with a view. It can get cold and windy at night, like when we were there. Guests with kids can have them run around and play in parts where it won't be a bother while they sit down nearby and sip or eat something.

My daughter enjoyed the performance of the band.

Thanks for that stress reliever. Truly a 90s kid. Long live OPM! #PaoloSantosTrio

Served us the toughest calamaris I've ever had. We told the waiter and he said that's how they serve it and did not offer a refund so okay, we're not happy to come back again.

Its like a private concert place.

Beautiful place, overpriced foods and drinks, slow service. Could be better so it's just an okay bar overall.

The BEST CONCERT HALL for OPM BANDS! Masarap din food and service is topnotch! - Moonstar88

Sucks! Sound check taking so long....The Band should've done it prior to starting. Can't have a decent conversation when all you can hear is a person testing the microphone over and over again for about half an hour! Not a good experience for us coming to this place.

need to manage asking people to physically wait in line, so inconvenient

Matahimik na Lugar at mababait Ang mga tao

THE live music place at the south of Manila!

Friendly, warm, accomodating and professional staff. Sound system and ambiance is also perfect. However please note that they dont accept credit card payment so better to prepare cash or gcash. The place is bit challenging to reach specially if you will commute bcoz it’s in sucat service road and this area known to be challenging for commuters but once arrived it is all worth it. Food is expected to be expensive bcoz it is a bar and resto. I tried their pork sisig and its really good. Thank you 19th East and Jinky Vidal for the best gig ever.

The drinks here so terrible. They use 20pesos juice power to make a cocktail, and sale it 400 . Omg .

Went last Nov 20,2023 with our high school friends and one of our baliknayan high school bestfriend. It was a blast. The only downside was Nina sang 3 songs only,we were expecting more hence the entrance that night was hefting 3500 😔

The food was great! Live bands and sound systems were great as well. Everything was great especially the waiter who assisted us on Nov. 11, 2023 with Mayonnaise 21st anniversary. I did not ask the waiter's name but we were at table 22. Thank you.

Love the place, customer service and the music showcased by 19 East.

very cool place... sarap swabe ang sounds di masakit sa dibdib at tenga🥰

Good food and Good vibes esp at night!!!! been here twice and the experience is superb their waiters are so attentive and fast.

Had fun with Kamikazee & Moonstar 88. 🤘

This place is nice with ample parking space and the food is good.

nice cool place, may mga banda! exciting nightlife venue. masarap din ang food!

Food and drinks was priced on the high side.

Googled best breakfast in Whitley Bay for my birthday. Prepared to wait . They gave our breakfasts to customers who came later :( We ordered one without tomatos both came with tomatos. No hash browns no bacon . Complained got a side plate of bacon and sausages obviously thrown in deep fat fryer . We had 2 pots of tea before food turned up Had to order another pot . When we complained before paying they knocked that one pot off.

great music and great food great service also

Great Acoustic, superb lights, Top notch Bands and great crowd

Come for the live acts. Outside there is an Al fresco structure where you can drink with a view of Laguna de Bay.

The service is terrible, the 2 lads that were on today were beyond useless, I witnessed 3 people go up to the bar to ask for the bill as they weren’t attentive at all. Also tables left messy and dishes not collected. The food was just ok and not value for money, black pudding was burnt to a crisp and the potion was small… utter sh!te. It was so much better as cafe 19, (it’s now called The Beach House) such a shame it’s been ruined. The lack of people in there should have told me all I needed to know. Also need to sort the emergency light out thats full of water on the ceiling, accident waiting to happen….

Service was absolutely terrible. Not up to standards. Let me tell u why. As soon as we got our cups, we noticed instantly that it was dirty and lacked hygiene because it had coffee stains from previous customers and overall not what a decent human being should be receiving when going out for brunch. When we received our food it was terrible as well because some of it was overcooked and undercooked. Not very good. They didn’t seem fussed about hygiene and was careless about it. I don’t think they know about the health and safety work act in cafes. Service didn’t ask us for butter for toast and milk for tea and basic condiments. We had to keep asking them for stuff and doing it ourselves when they should be doing their job.

Visited this cafe twice, have to say brilliant. Interior was lovely and new, spacious and comfortable. Food is cooked fresh to order, great coffee and my wife loved the smoothies. Would highly recommend a visit here if you’re in the area.

This is no longer Cafe 19 but Cullercoats Coffee. Refurbished, but has lost all that was good. Always full now at lunch time and near empty. Menu breakfast, full English, poached eggs etc, and small selection of toasties. Gone the cheery young staff the bustling counter filled with cakes and scones and the delightful menu of salads sandwiches, toasties etc. A young man brought menus waited ten minutes came for order to tell us no food as no hot water, and didn’t know when it would be back on, why couldn’t we have been told on arrival ? We were pleased for an excuse to leave. Won’t be back.

Used to be a great place that we visited fairly regularly. We visited on carnival day, hoping that Cafe 19 had not changed too much since being taken over by Cullercoats Coffee. Unfortunately everything that made it 'Cafe 19' has gone - including menu, cosy interior, pleasant outdoor seating area. Even the original brick and terracotta facade of the Victorian building has been obscured with black paint. Considering it was carnival day, the cafe was woefully understaffed and, even though when we arrived the inside was virtually empty, it still took ages to receive first our drinks (coffee not very hot) and then another long wait for food. The food was good, although the menu is limited compared to previously. It seems a shame to keep the name, but change pretty much everything else about the place.

Unfortunately since being taken over , this place has gone downhill. We were big fans of the place beforehand but after our visit today we probably won’t return unfortunately. The service was really terrible, only seemed to be one lad dealing with customers on a busy bank holiday. Some staff constantly walked past people waiting without acknowledging them and cleared tables rather than taking orders. We sat for a long time without have any order taken and ended up ordering on the app. The food itself was actually quite nice although the menu is a lot smaller and limited than what it used to be.

First time I’ve been in the cafe since the Cullercoats Coffee team have taken over. I was pleasantly surprised - like the clean, bright decor, happy with breakfast choices and friendly service. Really enjoyed the eggs Benedict- the bacon was really tasty. Only downside was the slow service.

Unfortunately the new Cafe 19 is a shadow of the old establishment. The menu is seriously reduced, the interior is very sterile and the full breakfast that we had was very poor compared to the one you used to get in a skillet. Previously you would have been lucky to get a table on a Sunday, but it’s probably a sign that there was plenty of empty tables. On a positive note the staff are very friendly.

Service was poor and what we assume was the owner was rude. Definitely not the same as the original cafe 19. Food not as nice, drinks are small in little cups. Won’t be going back

Have been to this place a few times before and was great but it has seriously gone downhill since. The staff were pleasant but had no idea of what good service means. Ordered eggs on sour dough, as advertised, and was brought eggs on tiger bread. The waiter attempted to tell me it was sour dough! Then checked with chef. No offer to change them but to be honest didn’t want to wait again so just went with the flow. We ordered a second round of teas and coffees. The tea pot came but the expectation was to use the same cup. A brownie was ordered which never came. Asked for the bill twice before being told to go and pay at the counter where there was a queue. At this point, I said to friends we may get a parking ticket if they don’t hurry up. The man behind the counter said the cafe would not be paying my parking ticket. Maybe an apology rather than a sarcastic comment would have been more welcome! Oh and how about a discount for the poor service, wrong food and general lack of quality. Such a shame as this place used to be so good

Cafe 19 is still good since the takeover but not the same. It's such a shame that so many of the unique and original choices from the menu have been discarded and the interior quirkiness lost. That said the coffee was good, the food nice and the service pleasant. I will go again but maybe not make a special visit just to eat there like we used to.

Our visit was on a sunday morning.We ordered a club sandwich and a toastie which we eventually received an hour after ordering. We were told at one time after about 50 minutes wait that our food was being plated this then took another 10 minutes. Our order was not a complicated order so not sure what the problem was.It was busy but surely that is something any good cafe can cope with considering the food menu was not extensive. A neighbouring couple had also waited 45 minutes for their simple breakfast. The waiting staff were nice and did give us our second round of teas free as a gesture.However we will not be returning.Food nothing exceptional and quite pricey for what it was.

We stumbled across this cafe when we stayed the weekend in Whitley bay. We really liked the decor and atmosphere. The menu had a good range of food options. We had the avocado on toast an our first visit and eggs Benedict and Turkish eggs on our second visit. The food was delicious, really tasty and good portion sizes. The only negative was the bloody Mary’s we had were watery and bland. On the whole we enjoyed our experience here and would recommend

Went to Café 19 for a breakfast and was surprised how busy this place was. We ordered full breakfasts and the were excellent, the staff were friendly and efficient making this a great choice if you are looking for very good quality at a reasonable price and the coffee is excellent. Very highly recommended.

Tightly packed seating but well designed since the chairs are slim enough for you not to get your pants or shirt caught. Sound system was clear.

If live music is your thing, I recommend you go here! The food and service are fast and good, plus the place is pretty big which is good for hanging out with frenss

Place ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place to hang out with friends. Live band. Waiters visible. Only downside is the Comfort room. Floors were super wet and smelly. Prices were okay. 3/5

Went there for the Urbandub event. They weren't prepared for the volume of people. Long line to enter with a manual ticket system. Waited for an hour before they can take our food order. Waited another hour for the food itself to come one by one. Sound system is not enough for the outdoor space. Saving grace was the band itself and the accommodating and apologetic server who was also overwhelmed. Hopefully they can make improvements for future events.

The best place for live band music. good food and good ambiance. Though they have big parking, i hope they will even the potholes. Not good for low profile cars. Also, i hope they will change their outdoor chairs as it is old, small, and uncomfortable.

Food and drinks are too pricey.

Popped in for breakfast. Lovely place with friendly staff. Lots of choice and freshly prepared. Definitely recommend.

One of the best! The gigs are absolutely back! With all the vibes and everything. The food is sooo good, too. ❤

There's a leak in the roof of the place, when it rain, you need to move to not be soak by the rain.

Best place to relax after a long day of work while enjoying live band music.

The staff were very friendly, the food tasted great and good value. The English breakfast was served in skillet, nice touch and the atmosphere was lovely.

We went for breakfast here and were impressed by the choice on the menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and happy to add extras as side orders. If it hadn't been such a cold, wet day we'd have been tempted to sit outside...

Love the coffee and scones and service from staff also the decor is fab and they welcome dogs also which is great

Simply the "Best" place for live music!

Nice place to chill out. Live performance for a cause 🥰🥰 Eloisa Monolog Elctromgnetikombo Silent Sanctuary True Faith Rico Blanco Special thanks to the coordinaors, LGUs and others involved...

We returned to Cafe 19 today after visiting previously in Summer 2020 The food was amazing and the service was good A good menu with lots of choice and a nice place to visit Highly recommended

Cool this place beautiful and delicious foods.

Great place to chill, have drinks and enjoy. The food is great too.

We had a great breakfast here (1 x skillet breakfast and 1 x veggie breakfast) and lovely coffees. Staff were all really nice and the cafe itself is very cute. Looking forward to returning!

The reviews say it all - the skillet breakfast was perfect - good menu choice - fantastically clean as well as knowledgeable staff. Really good breakfast option - however lunch menu also looks great Will definitely be back in the future

The wife and I had a late late lunch here last weekend. The food we ordered was outstanding. Dirty fries were divine (who ever thought it was a good idea to combine honey and feta with sweet potato fries is a genius), and the enormous...

Cool chill vibe restobar, and they really practicing the max capacity protocol kudos to that!
