Had a great time listening and dancing to some proper good groovy tunes. Don't know why some reviews on here say it's a dirty place - toilets and bar were both immaculate. Bar staff lovely and same to door staff! Will be back 🪩😊

Really rude staff and dirty bar. Went here last weekend with my friends and we had left our coats behind us in a pile and stood next to them, as it was boiling. Turned around for 2 minutes and our coats had been stolen. Brand new £90 coat stolen and my friends was left on the stairs outside. Told the bartender and he said it was my fault for leaving it, didn’t care at all. No help looking, just rude staff with a bad attitude. Messages and rang continuously throughout the week to see if it had been handed in but no reply. Be careful!!! I understand it’s not their responsibility and it was my choice to leave the item unattended, but it was literally centre metres away from me. The bad attitude of the staff and total lack of care made the situation 100% worse.

Visited the venue last week after hearing lots of positive comments, however was very disappointed. Toilets were filthy and when I brought this to the staffs attention, they couldn't be less bothered. Drinks served in dirty glasses and customer service none existent. I'm used to growing up in the Bigg Market, so no snob, but staff need serious training in this place. To make matters worse, my friends coat was stolen. We understand that it is not the venues responsibility for belongings, but no care of consideration on trying to help with a 'shoulder shrug' response.

We popped in here one Sunday afternoon, after reading reviews. Seemed a safe, nice place to go. It was awful. Two expensive drink of horrible wine and soda, £17, Bitter and very sour so bad we couldn't drink. That feeling you've read about where your tummy warns you 'this will make you sick' It was busy. We asked a girl if we could put our drinks down next to hers. She said no, as we walked away she became very aggressive, asking us what our problem was!?! Apparently, so I have since been told, there is often fights there. So the two or three doormen were very much needed. Won't be going there again

Terrible service from door staff. Arrived at at 5.45pm on a Saturday night. Us 2 males walked up steps and opened doors before realising our wife's were some way behind. Turned around to await for them, then door staff decided it was "members only", even though we were already partially inside. Door staff then became aggressive and confrontational towards us as we questioned the decision. I would never go back to this place This is the second time the door staff have been unreasonable to one of our party. They don't deserve the business.

Its a good bar but the doorman tell you have to have a booking to get in. Which is a joke. I arrived with 3 others and told have to have a booking then after questioning them they let us in. My son arrjved 5 mins later and refused admission again the excuse was not made a booking but groups of people (older) allowed in after with no booking made. I know this as they where another group of friends. I approached the doorman and was fobbed off. I was celebrating first night out after having cancer and they where just totally ignorant individuals. However probably acting in managers direction. It is not the first time they have appeared to be ageist.

First time back for two years so excited used to love coming here always guaranteed a great night with lots of familiar music to dance to. Arrived with friends on Saturday 5th February really disappointed stayed for 2 hours hoping music would improve but it didn't all sounded the same unrecognisable or long play versions. Came away thinking we need to find somewhere else to go to where we can have a dance to music we recognise and enjoy

Went to bar and barmaid told me the owner wants me to leave.. No explanation.. No reason.. Just leave.. I asked to speak to him but was told I couldn't. I've since tried to call and sent 3 emails as to why! But no answer! I've heard off other people that this has happened before. All I wanted was a reason why. Completely ruined my day out.

The William IV on High street is a local pub in Gateshead that offer a decent range of beers and was one of several pubs that we visited on a day out around Gateshead. A solid old style boozer that is housed in a traditional pub style building'the interior is again a traditional pub interior with lots of good seating options and an outside area at the back with extra seating options. I don't know why but I adore going to pubs like this as it brings me back to when I first started drinking many years ago and most of the pubs I visited where like this. This pub was very busy when we visited as where most pubs we went to in Gateshead and when here we had a couple of bitters from the John Smith's brewery which were well served and priced. This is another superb local boozer and is well worth visiting as the staff were friendly and they offer a well priced range of beers and is very easy to locate from High Street bus stop it's a minute's walk.(This is my first review of the William IV). Opening Hours. Monday-Thursday-10.00-23.30. Friday-Saturday-10.00-00.30. Sunday-10.00-23.30. Nearest Bus Stop. High Street bus stop.

I recently visited Côte and had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious English breakfast. The food was perfectly prepared, with each element cooked to perfection, from the crispy bacon to the creamy scrambled eggs. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a cozy yet vibrant ambiance that made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall charm of the place. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast or a spot to relax and soak in a great vibe, Côte is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!
