Full Circle Brew Co in Newcastle upon Tyne

Spent a lovely few hours here whilst on a recent trip to Newcastle. Did an excellent and informative guided tour before sampling some delicious beers. Pizza was incredible also 👌

A well thought out Taproom with excellent beer. You can see the brewing being done without being in the way of production. The beers are very good, pizza is delicious and the merch is nice. The food, in particular, is a grade above the usual. A bright and attractive space, well worth a visit.

This was possibly the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life. The pizza experts Phil and Jude (I believe this was their names but I’m slightly deaf) are like gods of the dough, working their magic craft to make creations worthy of Zeus himself. My stomach and I thank you all kindly. 10/10 people and 15/10 food

Beer selection is great, Looper has to be the best IPA created. The pizza here is really good as well

A very delayed review but a huge thank you to Kate for being so helpful organising our party. I can’t thank her enough - so helpful and efficient. Pizzas amazing too!

Visité Full Circle con mi hermano y papá, optando por el tour de la cervecería y el vuelo de 3 copas. El tour fue informativo y pudimos ver toda la línea de producción con nuestro guía experto capaz de responder a cualquier pregunta. La selección de cervezas era variada y por solo £ 10 la relación calidad-precio era excelente. Las pizzas también son deliciosas. Recomendaría a cualquiera que busque excursiones por la cervecería en Newcastle

me and my partner visited your venue to be greeted by who i’m assuming was the manager who wasn’t very friendly at all didn’t say hello and asked us what are you here for and what do you want? very unprofessional probably won’t visit again i’m afraid

Very cool taproom. Great service and beers

Really poor pint of cask no body and poured with no care. £4.50 for it as well!

the place is nice the beer is too - staff are lovely :-) However .. B E W A R E the place looks like it should be free to park. ITS NOT, if your not paying attention, there are PARKING EYE cameras that will catch you if you don't pay for your parking.

Love the beer, love the people, love the pizza

A great pint with lush pizzas made by Caitlin... would highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for anyone to chill out

Friendly, helpful staff. Great selection of beers/ale at a decent price. Pizza oven in operation, half a dozen or so different types. Ordered a few which tasted great and at a reasonable price. Would definitely recommend and would 💯 return.

A relaxing environment, pleasant staff and nice beers 👍

Didn’t let me finish my my drink that I BOUGHT! Literally took it off me an poured it down the drain. Was a nice bar in general tho

Best freshly brewed beer in the North East, actually the best I’ve had anywhere in the UK. Looper IPA is outstanding

Great afternoon spent drinking good beer.

Love the place, seemingly great selection of bevvies. I prob chose the wrong one, on this my first visit. Billed as a 'Sour' called "It's actually all right", it was described as mango & coconut. Turns out it should truly be called "It's barely & maybe just alright" - as it had zero hint of coconut, no inclination of mango either, just tasted like cheap (from concentrate) orange juice. Bit of a downer as had high hopes for this place

Spacious bar overlooking the brewery. There's a wide range of brews, from the weaker session ales to DIPA, light or dark and some ciders too. Really friendly staff, happy to let you sample any before you buy. I saw a large Pizza oven, although we didn't eat there. Highly recommend a visit.

An excellent beer hall to sample some of the finest beers in Newcastle! Loved the venue and drinks, great view of the brewing process, would loved to have tried the food but we'd already eaten! Very good place to come for drinks and a bite to eat, staff were knowledgeable about their beers and very accommodating

Modern Industrial unit.2 h/ pulls + craft + pizza. Good service and atmosphere.

Excellent service, lovely setting.

Absolutely love this place! Fantastic beer selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff plus the pizza's are delicious! Full Circle will always be a winner for me :D

I booked a table here for my dads 65th birthday and couldn’t have been happier! I dropped off some decorations and they set them all up for our arrival. The pizzas were fantastic as always and we had a fantastic night! Thank you so much to the FC team for everything

My favourite brewery. Great beer, knowledgeable and friendly staff and scotch eggs to die for.

Lovely airy space, nice outdoor seating, great selection of beers and great pizzas. Worth the trip out of the city centre!

Cracking venue with friendly colleagues. All had smiles on their faces. Beer and pizza were amazing too

Lovely place, recently visited for a craft market which they do every now and again. Had a lovely day, staff are really friendly. We had food from one of the vendors at the market which was incredible. I don’t drink alcohol much but there were hot drink options so catered for all.

Nice place, friendly staff and reasonable prices for quality and variety of beer on offer

Visited early afternoon and tried various own brews, all good. Pizza on sale. Friendly staff. Good prices compared to River brew co in the centre

Nice set up, great selection. Worth a visit. Unfortunately my visit was ruined by very rude staff and won’t be back.

LOVE this place! I’m an American “craft beer snob” and couldn’t have been happier here. “Mountains of Mars” was one of my favorite beers- EVER! Our beertenders (Ed and Amber) were knowledgeable and helpful. Pizza was great. If you’re in Newcastle- you gotta go!!

If you're a fan of great beer and delicious pizza, then Full Circle Brewery Hoults yard is the perfect spot for you. This out of this world brewery offers a wide range of unique and flavorful brews, perfect for beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. What really sets Full Circle Brewery apart from other breweries, however, is their amazing pizzas. Mouthwatering flavors and toppings, and are the perfect complement to any cold beer. Not only is the beer and food fantastic, but the atmosphere at Full Circle Brewery is also top-notch. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the space is cozy and welcoming.

Ce bar est tellement bien ! Les bières sont incroyables et le cadre est splendide. Même les pizzas sont superbes (oui il y a un four à pizza dans le bar!).

Great atmosphere, staff are always so accommodating and knowledgeable in your choice of drink, food is always impeccable, all round great experience. Loads of bars and eateries in the area makes this a all round great day out 😃🤘

Beer is amazing and the pizzas are amazing.... However the inconsistency of the service of food is shocking. I've had enough of this place. So my friend ordered food at 1945 hrs this evening.... I walked to the bar as he walked away and asked for a pizza and was met with a rude and obnoxious reply by staff and they stated that they were not doing any more food despite what is quoted on their site.... Literally 30 seconds later than my friend. This is not the first time that the food service has struggled..... Most Fridays there is an excuse for not serving food, in fact every Friday this year there has been excuses. Don't even bother going if you think you will have a nice pint and food.... Save the effort and just go to 2 knives around the corner where there is a much better attitude to food and drink. Sorry you have lost regular customers as a result.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, and it was nice and quiet. Nice friendly staff and absolutely unreal beers. It's one of my favourite breweries.

I only had one drink here but that was enough to make me want to go back. A great selection of really good beer.

Great pizza and beer. Very friendly staff and got an interesting tour. Quality spot for watching the six nations too, with a top quality projector.

Great tour and a healthy selection of beers. Six nations shown on TV to cap it off (just a shame about the result!)

I visited the brewery when I was in the area, it has a great atmosphere and tasty beers. Massive range of ales! I loved the fact you can overlook the brewery where all of it's made. I didn't know what to get but I was recommended a really good citrussy IPA.

Great beer, amazing taproom, and the staff are all lovely. Unfortunately they’re in a business park that has incredibly strict parking rules and not very prominent signage, so we got slapped with a large fine for an hour visit and can’t seem to find any alternative parking close by, so it will be tough to visit with a toddler in tow which means sadly this is crossed off our Newcastle brewery list for the future. Would be nice if they warned customers of the parking challenges. UPDATED (in response to vendor reply): Thank you Full Circle - I don't think I've ever had anyone respond to a review where I voiced a complaint, let alone provide such a nice gesture as you have. It is much appreciated and we will definitely now be making the extra effort to visit you again.

Popped in whilst brewery hopping in Newcastle and wasn’t disappointed. Great selection of beers and the food looked good too

Amazing staff who are super friendly and accommodating. The beer is always top notch and always bring me water for my dog when he comes with. Highly recommend!

We hired out the taproom for a party on 17 September 2022. From the moment of enquiry to event follow-up, Kate was attentive, reassuring and communicative. All our queries were dealt with promptly and thoroughly and Kate put us at ease about the whole process. We hosted circa 60 people in the tap room and were able to bring our own decorations and Kate organised pizzas and a welcome drink for our guests. Everything was done smoothly and we had no concerns about the way it was handled on the evening. We were even able to give a speech through the PA system. Everyone commented on the quality of the food and drink but also the atmosphere of the venue - we were really overwhelmed with the whole event and it was definitely due, in no small part, to Kate and the FC team. We'd really stress to anyone thinking about using the venue for an event to go ahead - you will not regret it!

I work opposite the brewery and have twice recently gone on a Friday post-work, once with friends and once with my in-laws. Had a wonderful evening both times - staff are so friendly and helpful and the pizzas were absolutely delicious. Hugely popular with everyone and I’m sure will become a regular occurrence. Thank you!

Expensive! Especially as you have to do the work of downloading the app ordering paying! Go nextdoor to tyne brewery

There are some fantastic breweries in the area, but Full Circle takes the crown for me. Great range of beers, amazing pizza, and nice and quiet (the good kind of quiet). If you're going mid-day there's an amazing doughnut shop around the corner too! I see other reviews complained about the app. We had table service so no app was necessary but we have used the app in the past without issues.

I’m afraid we visited late on a midweek night, so not busy in the slightest. We had already eaten nearby so ordered a coffee and a pint of craft. Very nice member of staff Ed was very informative and keen to answer any questions I had. Also allowed me to chat lyrical about brewing and beer. Got a few cans to take home and overall very pleased to have ticked it off the list. It’s well worth checking out if you get the chance to.

It was our first time there and the manner in which we were spoken to when we tried to get served at the bar was unreasonable. We found the staff very unwelcoming with a fastidious adherence to 'rules' ie can't stand there. I think they only want a hipster type customer based on our experience. Disappointing after a trek on a very hot day.

Absolutely appalling! App only service, wasn’t made clear. Group of 12 were clearly not welcome. Told to get away from the bar, not to stand around while we were attempting to order drinks on the app. We left at that point!

Fast friendly service. Great local brewery

Super brewery tap just off the Ouseburn. Order by app which is quick and easy to use. We had pizza and pint for £10. Great food and Rotator, what a beer. Hoppy, hazy and juicy absolutely first rate. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. Five Stars

The 1st stop on our little 1 day 'tour' of Newcastle's craft beer scene & a great place to start. Some lovely beers on tap, lots of Hazy/Juicy ones (and some stronger DDH & TIPA ones) which is what we are after. Staff very friendly & happy to give tasters. App ordering which was pretty slick.

Amazing place, lots of natural light, airy and spacious! Friendly, helpful staff and loads and loads of drinks on offer!

Really nice brewery tap - located upstairs with a good view over the brewery operations. Nice easy app to order, friendly efficient staff and easy going friendly big bearded locals. Most importantly some really nice IPA beer, and I could have happily sunk more than a few. Sold pizza but I can't vouch for it as we didn't eat here. Try and go on foot if you can to avoid what appears to be parking nazis outside if all the anxious signs about making sure you have paid for parking are to be believed. The walk through the lego housing of Byker from the tube station is interesting and while I'd want to keep my whits about me, didn't feel too unsafe.

Great beers from a brewery that’s only a couple of years old. Little bit over keen on Face-mask policy, would prefer not to be challenged and work on the assumption I’m exempt. However once sat down you order at your table and the beers start flowing!!

You absolutely must try the Christmas Dinner pizza!! Truly amazing and totally delishious!!

Great place for food and drink. Class banter with staff, cheers for the milk. 10/10.

What a great place, tap room overlooking the brewery and selling fresh beer and an enormous pizza oven here also. Food & beer perfect.

My twin brother Stephen and I decided to visit Newcastle for a week's holiday before going on an eight holiday to Benalmadena, our sole intention was to visit all the best real ale pubs and craft beer bars in this vibrant city and take in the great sites of Newcastle Upon Tyne, talk about being spoilt for choice, we had just been to Tyne Bank Brewery & Tap Room, great pale ale's and then here ,another outstanding brewery and tap room. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, the tap room looks superb, an industrial style decorative scheme, cool decor and furnishings, brew vats prominently on display, its just a great place to unwind in. We were greeted with a smile by a very pleasant member of the bar team, we sampled some great ipa style beers and some pale ale style brews ,these beers were out of this world, so tasty, so well crafted, you can taste the passion that's gone into the brewing of these beers , without a shadow of a doubt some of the best beers we sampled on our holiday in Newcastle, as a bonus we also purchased one of their tumbler glasses to round off our visit here . Full Circle Brew Co is easy to locate along Hoults Yard . Opening hours are; Monday to Wednesday, Closed. Thursday, 4pm till 11pm. Friday & Saturday,Midday till Midnight. Sunday, Midday till 10pm. For some of the tastiest beers in Newcastle a brewery and tap room most definitely well worth checking out.

Swung by this Brewery as part of a walking tour and their offerings were definitely the best of the night. Highly recommend the porter.

Absolutely spot on, amazing beer (Looper was one of the best I have had ever had) and pizzas were perfect. One of the highlights of our trip up North. Cheers guys

My brother took me here, another hidden gem in Byker Newcastle. Really was a fantastic experience..made so because a fantastic staff team who knew what they were selling. Great local beers, fab setting and passionate folk working the bar.

Unfortunately as my phone does not read QR codes I could not order anything. Looks a good place but I cannot comment on how good the beer is as I was basically told order by QR, no compromise available. Luckily the other breweries in the area both allow you to order at the bar and were super friendly. Full marks to Brinkburn and Tyne Bank. Zero marks Full Circle.

Good beer brewed on the premises, enjoyed in the beer garden

Fantastic craft beers and brilliant service. The APA is definitely up there with the very best.

Fast delivery. Great beers. definitely recommended

Just had a quick beer and pizza for lunch. Excellent beer and food, great friendly service. Will definitely be going back.

We've been to the new beer garden at Full Circle a couple of times and have really enjoyed it. The online ordering and service is really smooth and the beers have been the best we've had in the area for a long time!

Great place for a genuine experience. Fantastic customer service and quality beer on tap 👍

Awesome to see the brewing machinery and great pizza!

Great visit! We had a 2hr slot for an indoor table. Easy to order via the app (too easy with Apple Pay!!) and drinks arrived very quickly. Great set up, social distancing and service. Can’t wait to revisit!

What a great team they have here. Great beer, great service

Great beers (Looper is definitely up there as a favourite) and fantastic mini keg too. Highly recommend and it’s a must visit when in Ouseburn

Great beer, superb pizza from Scream for Pizza, what could go wrong?! Range of measures for the beers/lagers is good so you can try a few. Particularly liked the Meridian Pilsner.

The best Brew in Newcastle upon Tyne, no question! :)

At first we were hesitant however as the night progressed we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The beer was lovely, the food was delicious and the service was top notch. Would recommend and will definitely come again. Don't be put off by the location as the place will definitely be worth it!

Shocking it took me this long to visit here. Great smell when you arrive and can see where they brew their beers. Great set up inside, and the staff were excellent. Tried 3 different Ales and all were tremendous it was hard to decide a favourite. The fact they have 'Scream for Pizza' wood fired pizzas was a lovely surprise. Clearly adapted very well to ensure it remains a safe and comfortable experience despite the bloody pandemic.

A great place to chill with your family, great beer and good food

Love this place. Great beer, spot on service topped off with Scream for Pizza. Ideal for an evening out on the beer.

Fantastic brews, excellent staff lovely food

A top notch brewery. Make sure this is on your list of breweries to visit when you are in town.

Beer is great, and the wood fired pizza is delicious

Great setting, nice beers, great staff.

Excellent range of beers, incredible pizzas, friendly staff

Superb hidden gem of a place- amazing service, selection of beers and delicious pizzas! A place that crafts it’s beers and takes pride in what it serves - superb quality. What takes it up a further notch is the care of the management towards it’s clientele. They want you to have a positive experience. Recommended for anyone who wants a relaxed, artisan experience.

Amazing place fantastic pizzas with neopotian style with creative topping and the freshest tastiest beer in Newcastle. My only criticism is I couldn't tip post covid through card payments

Can't fault this place. Such a smooth experience during this time. Onsite brewed beers are great, food (pizza) is great. Overall experience was excellent

Awesome brewery and great pizzas!

Always perfect, with the perfect beers

Had a fantastic afternoon at Full Circle today, staff are great as always, see you again soon.

Enjoyed a great couple of hours back at one of our favourite Ouseburn haunts!...big applause to the guys that have got the Full Circle back up and running with some creative and sensational beers on tap! Atmosphere was buzzing this afternoon and felt safe in the surroundings...can’t wait for more of the same in the weeks to come! The English clan!!!

Really impressed with this brewery: the beers, staff, location, street food offering... it is all fantastic. So during Covid-19 lockdown I thought I’d visit their online shop for a small fix. I couldn’t decide what to get so I ordered a 24 pack (12 x core, & 12 x pre order special release) on the Friday of a bank holiday weekend. I note that my pack contains pre order items that were due to be released on the Tuesday, but not long to wait I thought and that was that - ordered placed with ease. Then, Full Circle called me pretty much immediately and asked whether I wanted half of my order now in time for the weekend (the 12 x core range). I obliged and they delivered them literally a few hours after placing my order! It was great to have some nice beers for the bank holiday. My remaining 12 special release beers arrived today as planned too! Can’t fault that for service, and the beers as ever were fresh and delicious. Take care Full Circle and thank you for going above and beyond on this order!

Excellent taproom just outside of Newcastle City centre

Good choice of drinks and great pizza

Eight of us visited Full Circle this weekend, all super impressed with the beer, the brewery and the pizza. Outstanding, cant wait to return very soon. Deserves more than 5 starts!

Fantastic beer, really friendly and helpful staff, done well to create this space. I didn't try the food but it looked good. Thoroughly recommend trying this place

Great selection of beers, nice bar area with pizza oven. Well worth a visit

Solid range of beers, not just their own, Which is great to see. Scream for Pizza for food. Can't go wrong.
