Datbar in Newcastle upon Tyne

Shame we visited on the last night this bar was open would love to go back again. Didn't have any food so unable to mark it down and didn't seem fair to.

Never eaten in this wonderful place, it's where we like to meet up. Very accessible boozer, top atmosphere as soon as you walk in, and the barstaff know their business. Always a choice of approximately 10 different ales/lagers/ciders etc on the board, plus everything else you'd imagine obviously at the bar. Great crowd gather in here, quite a differing crowd which is nice. The place is almost Tardis like as it is much bigger than it looks from the outside. There is an amazing music theme going on in here, not just from the actual tunes, both posters on the walls and even in the bathrooms (which are cool) You need to visit...

Doesn't do food anymore and beer choice isn't as good as it used to be.

Bar staff are rude and labelled a full group as slightly drunk and refused service when no one of the group was drunk - just lazy service and cannot be bothered to serve a group of people!

A nice place with really nice beer!

Lovely place with some amazing cocktails. Absolutely loved it.

Did not recognise any of the lager

Staff were friendly, my girlfriend loved her cocktail and the beer was good. Great place before the theatre

Very quite when we were in but loved the varied music playing 👍 Staff friendly and helpful

I never tried the food so leaving that blank. Nice selection of drinks. Tried a few ciders and a £19 bottle of beer. Only got it cos how on earth can a bottle of beer be worth £19. It was alright. Chairs could do with some TLC but overall good bar. Especially if like fancy beer and ale. Cider seemed a bit short and didn't notice lager.

Absolutle discussing I worked here and quit when I found out what the owners were like the de gionerio famely are truly like.. as former employee they used my CV information + address to go after my family, to my neighbors, shops in my home town to try and destroy my name and reputation falsly being accused for speaking out to there bar staff of why I had quit.... Best advice stay away from them completely, stay away if you respect your reputation, name and how people procieve you

May 2023 edit: sadly they no longer do pizza which is a big loss for Newcastle! Superb pizza! Amazing crust and the Italian sausage is as good as you'd get in Brooklyn! Very centrally located; laid back atmosphere; lovely staff. Done a nice job with a recent restaurant refurbishment. Look at this gorgeous pie!

Always got loads of beers to choose from, a little pricey, but nice to try something new

Nice atmosphere, great selection of IPA.

Discussing place to go, the staff there are always drunk on shift never get your order right and when it came to quit they used your personal information to DISTROY your reputation for speaking out about that place and a 20 year old woman who tried to Destroy 3 men's life before I spoke out.....so a friendly warning . Don't drink here and certanaly don't take employment from the de ganiros family.. respect yourself and your reputation there's certainly better places to work....and yet there not giving up 5 years later yet the update the deganeroaos from dat bar, lady Gray's and what every they have bought for there d.d deals

Brilliant bar, great choice of drinks and friendly staff

Luca is the MVP. Great selection and great service. Well worth a visit for a beer or cocktail.

Excellent choice of beers on, never tried the food but smells nice. Good staff and atmosphere, nearly always visit when in town.

Something a bit different in Newcastle with a wide range of beers on tap and knowledgeable staff to guide you through

Couldn't be more handy for a pre theatre drink & bite to eat, plus it's dog friendly 👏👍👌

Bouncer refused us service after our first drink of the night, because our ‘eyes were glazed’. Ridiculous behaviour, AVOID at all costs.

Lovely place. Not overly expensive.

Love the relaxed ambience of this place , staff always helpful and friendly, good food,

Proper, home made, delicious, and wonderful Italian food served in town. I have been here on numerous occasions and I can tell you that everything is made from scratch and is properly filling as well. It also has a bar attached to it so it is great if you just want a pint. The resturant is a hidden treasure and worth it if you like italian food done well.

Authentic Italian food with an edgy interior. Not what you expect at all but very cool in there. Food was immense, we got the classic margherita's to try out and they were like nothing we've tasted in Newc before. Lovely staff who can't do enough for you, good vibes all round!

Good choice of beer (keg) pizzas and burgers.

Nice place this. We had pizza, a burger and chips and shared. Pizza was fantastic, could have not had the burger. It was nice but wouldn’t have it again. Good beer selection. Good staff. Doesn’t take American Express. Baby changing has to be accessed by a lift and uses the Theatre facilities which run underneath the bar.

Nice place, good food and plesant approachable staff

Banging venue, highly recommended.

Drinks and service speed fine, lack of any real atmosphere.

Felt quite dirty and didn't smell great in there. A lot better bars in Newcastle than this.

Decent bar, drinks and lovely bar staff. However the doormen ruin it. They stopped the bar staff serving me and my partner for nothing. Was very frustrating. Will never come to the bar again because of how ridiculous the bouncers are. *update* Following a lovely response from the Management. I have changed my review to reflect how nice of a night we did have. It is unfortunate a doorman ruined what was a lovely evening but it’s out of the bar’s control.

Lovely cocktails in pleasant surroundings

Canny bar, took ages to get served to to people buying loads of cocktails. Bars these days should have a beer and bottle bar section.

A little on the more expensive side, however price reflects the quality of the food. I'll definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu out. Really beautiful food. Vegan options available (and delicious) also a dog friendly place!

Fantastic food, great service, lovely surroundings. We'll be back soon.

Straightforward food with loud music!

Service is a bit hit and miss but good pizzas and great beer selection.

A lot of choice for beer not so much for cider though

Great vibe and excellent choice of beers and ales

Really like this place. Lovely, locally sourced food. Real friendly staff too. Can't fault it.

Dat bar is a lovely place for a drink although on my last visit the beer selection wasn't as great as it has been in the past.

Lovely food and vegan friendly menu. Great beer selection too and too much to choose in terms of drinks. Lovely seating areas inside and out, recommend the pizzas (any of them really ) and rice balls starter. Delicious. Great location too in terms of the middle of the city centre.

Some great graft ales. Nice Atmosphere and friendly staff, I will definitely be going back

Very cool place with good selection of craft beers and the best pizza in Newcastle. Would give the place 6 stars if I could!

Had a lovely meal with the family there. Food was great and staff attentive. Only let down by the music volume which made it difficult to hold a conversation and that they forgot the drinks order which arrived during the meal.

Cold soggy pizza arrived after 2 hours with the "extra mozzarella" topping bagged up on the side. Someone had a laugh in the kitchen, charging almost £20 for a pizza I had to recook myself. I tried to find out what happened but the manager didn't bother calling back

We were originally intending to go to Pizza Punks however when we arrived there was a sign on the door saying that they had ran out of gluten free bases...so we tried Dat Bar instead and were really impressed with the place. My pizza was incredible, had many toppings and tasted even better than what I expected, my partner's gluten free pizza was also great. We both would love to return to this place.

Lovely friendly staff. Food was reasonably priced authentic and good value for money

The doorman was an absolute gent. Excellent selection of beers. Nice cocktails and fantastic pizza.

Tad pricy for beer, a very good example of a pizza, beef fat chips were ok but the Dat Sauce was 🤬 delicious 😋

Excellent service and the meal was lovely. Will come again next time we are in Newcastle.

Lovely place - great staff and door people, the food looked tasty, and great decor. We only popped in for one pint but we're planning on another visit!

Great atmosphere very friendly staff and the burger are amazing!!

Staff were nice :) Drinks were all really odd - not so much craft - just .. cheap-tasting? (Cider, Rosé, IPA)

Great place, loved the choice of ales

Great selection of food and drinks and some great offers on too! Well worth a visit

Had never been here before so thought we would go in for one but was that impressed we stayed for the rest of our evening! Great range of craft beers and drinks at such good prices for a city centre bar. Servers were super lovely & very attentive. We didn’t wait long for any order taking or table service which we understand places are still grasping. Will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family!!!

Visited for drinks yesterday (20/09/20) for the first time since covid. They have clearly worked hard to make the place as covid-secure as possible - there is even a full-on handwashing station set up near the entrance to the bar! I felt very safe during my visit. The food is also great - their pizzas are consistently among the best in Newcastle!

The staff were excellent, informing me of the steps needed to adhere with their COVID-19 policies. The cider my wife and mother-in-law drank was lovely. The pint of Heineken I tried was awful, and when I brought it back to the bar I was told that “we know there’s a problem with the lagers, and we’re trying to fix it”. Granted, they swapped my pint for a new one, but why would you continue to sell something you know isn’t up to your usual standards? I’ve been glued to the toilet since getting home thanks to this.

Wide selection of beers and lagers properly served. Not cheap but nice for drink just around the corner from the Theatre Royal. (Didn't try the food when I was there)

Lovely environment, food is very good and fab service!

Good beer. That's a raspberry gose. 👍

Nice atmosphere great bar but honestly the beer I had was awful, I live in Burton-on-Trent so get craft beer galore. Northern Alchemy - is one to avoid, its supposed to be pale... 🤔 The bar staff friendly and welcoming. Just ask for a try before you buy.

Absolutely love this place. Been in for a drink a few times but this was my first time for food. VERY IMPRESSED! I had a beautiful pizza and the service was brilliant too. They've got a really big menu so we were all spoilt for choice. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Dat bar is one of my favourite city center bars. Loads of craft beers on rotation and good pizza of you get hungry too!

Busy with a good vibe. Good food and drink.

Bloody delicious food and great value

It's been a while since I actually ate here, and the mini sliders were quite watery to be honest. But I've heard things have improved. Good selection of beers.

Good music and beer. I really like the decor too.

What a range of drinks. Chilled out vibe with good music

Really like this place especially for a chill night out. Many options from the hanging board with great selection of beers. Vegan options also available, the pizzas are highly recommended. Friendly and accommodating staff. Cool, funky with great decoration and atmosphere overall

Great selection of beers, a few ciders, fantastic food (surprisingly good food!) great atmosphere

Yeah was okay, nice catch up with the boys, I don't drink so I had a coffee, it wasn't the best like

Pleasant enough but menu a bit on the faffy side to be honest.

Great food, great drink, great service

Good bar and good beers Nice haha

Great atmosphere and excellent choice for drinks.

One of the best pizza places in Newcastle

Great service friendly staff reasonable prices.

Love this place. Always good atmosphere for a drink. Great pizza.

A nice place for Pasta Burgers and Pizza.

Good beer and excellent food. Highly recommend the pizzas.

No atmosphere, extremely slow service, expensive

Love this place. Great atmosphere, great selection of beers, nice cocktails.

Surprisingly amazing pizza that I didn't expect. The staff was accommodating and the service was good.

Cool and funky with great decor and excellent choice of beers. Pizza is second to none.

Ordered a round consisiting of 7 drinks. Had a mix up with the beers. The member of staff behind the bar had what can only be described as a tantrum whilst making the remainder of the drinks behind the bar. Throwing the glasses, mixers and fruit around like a child. Normally a great bar, but not this time.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great selection of drinks and nice pizza.

Pizzas are amazing good range of drinks

Very good range of beers,friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Lush food, great atmosphere and fantastic service. Pizza was beautiful, as was the dat burger. Highly recommend the dat-sauce as well. We got two course for £10, and was brilliant. Definitely get the arancini starter. The ginger cider was really nice as well.

Stopped for a quick bit and drink but the hanging board menus not available. Was looking forward to trying the cod cheek sliders. Got a couple of tasters of ciders and decided on the Whisky Cask - very good! Menu is quite large but we were after small bites so only had a drink. Worth checking out.

Great location, smashing cocktails and food. Dead canny staff.

Great beer and pizza not bad also

Great food and the beer........pump 7 awesome beer fruity hoppy and looks like a urine infection but so tasty

Awful. Ordered a rose wine and a cider. We left them both on the bar. And we will drink almost anything 🤣

Cool venue with competitive prices on food. Fantastic pizza!

Foods great, waiters are miserable and rude

Burger not very nice would prefer a proper bap and I would of liked my bill after my pud not before .pudding was nice though
