Newcastle Arms in Newcastle upon Tyne

Arrived at 4pm the menu states food is served until 6 pm the table next to us we’re ordering dinner at 5 pm and we were inspired so thought we would order too but we were told food was unavailable despite it stating that food was available until 6 pm very poor service staff more interested in socialising with each other than being customer focused very poor

I have to praise the two girls that were on shift this evening ,so nice to have friendly bar staff with excellent customer service!… Certainly will be back!

Best Guinness in town ! reasonably priced bar staff all great & very knowledgeable about ales & drinks. Will definitely be back!

Great bar near the ground. Mix of home and away fans in there. Pleasant atmosphere

4 of us enjoyed a lovely a Sunday lunch great choice of modern food at realist prices and the beer was excellent as recommended by the very friendly staff

Excellent atmosphere friendly bat staff

Fantastic food and service Popped in after a walk along the quayside. Staff are friendly and helpful. They even fussed the dog and got him water. We had fish n chips and it was beautiful. Definitely recommend

Great outside seating to get the sun late afternoon. Lovely inside too v nice staff. Incredibly good value drinks, tasty fruit punch but spoilt for choice. The pizza, nachos etc looked good and so vv good value. Would def go back to try them

Staff who are mute. Just nod and then present you with a card machine, no words, no please no thank you’s. Disgraceful

Truly shocking. A great night out in a wonderful city. Shame we went in this place, licensee was a complete idiot. No excuse for his behaviour. There are many great pubs and bars that are very welcoming Dont waste your fine with this place it’s not with the effort.

What excellent service from am overworked barmsid on her own. Thank you. She kept her good humor throughout.

Prices out of all control for normal 🍺 great old venue in Newcastle for real ale totally spoiled in the name of profit no visible pricing or warning pint of real ale and medium glass of white wine £11.25 😱

Decent beer, no airs and graces

Dropped in for a drink before dinner, the regulars were quaint, their choice of music quainter, between the Animals and classical music but a nice ambiance. Server was helpful and drinks quickly served, toilets were clean on our visit, will return again

Good match day pub 5 minutes from St James Park, good selection of beers

Quite dark inside but not a bad selection of beers and toilets are clean

Decent city centre pub. Good range of real ales.

Very well priced & good service my only gripe....need to have soft seats cleaned then it would be 4 star

Brilliant pub next to ground. Very full but staff great.

Paid £16, for 2 pints of morreti and 1 pint of ca rling . Never again . Dark ,very hot dingy hole. Packed in like cattle on matchdays.

Great atmosphere, music, service and drinks. A real pub.

Very quiet early evening so a test for a pub with four handpumps. Test passed with a decent pint of beer. Not one I'd heard of and a sample offered but I do pints to get a proper taste but a nice touch regardless.

Iconic Newcastle pub with great beer, but their toilets are an absolute disgrace and really let the place down.

The Newcastle Arms is a North East icon and rightly charged decent money for drinks. The problem is though that they have the worst toilets in Newcastle. Easily the worst. Here's a photo of the gent's toilets which have been soiled in the pan but also had evidence of feaces and vomit in the hinge of the toilet seatm In short, no-one takes care of these facilities.

We went here for a quiet drink one night during the afternoon. We also went here for a lively drink after our dinner one night - well, it was a Saturday night and the duke box was playing and the customers were really enjoying themselves. They advertise a variety of cocktails and if you buy two you save a bit. We had two porn star martinis for £13 - good value and they were very good too! To be recommended on both occasions.

Had a great first ever visit, friendly people, will call again next time I visit

My twin brother Stephen and I were pub hopping around this part of town around St James Park when we chanced upon The Newcastle Arms Pub ,a really fantastic pub that was just a joy to visit. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, the interior is superb, a cool looking solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings, Newcastle United F.C memorabilia adorning the walls, tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a really good pub to chill out in. We were here on a Wednesday night, pub was busy with a great atmosphere, we ordered at the bar and chose a pale ale, these were served in excellent condition, we just settled back and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. My pale ale was really good, a crisp, well balanced pale ale, hints of toffee and a delicious aroma and aftertaste with a slight bitter finish to it, a classic British pale ale, it was just so good being in such a lovely pub enjoying a quality brew and to be honest being back in Newcastle again after all the recent travel restrictions. We really enjoyed our pale ale's in here, only stayed for the one each before moving on and for a first time visit to The Newcastle Arms Pub we had a great time. The Newcastle Arms Pub is easy to locate along St Andrews Street. Opening hours are; Monday to Saturday, 11am till 11pm. Sunday, 11am till 10.30pm. A wonderful pub, most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Friendly & professional drinks based pub with a jukebox

Always loved this place, typical spit and sawdust kind of joint with good atmosphere, friendly staff and top ales.

Very over priced drinks, the most expensive round of all the pubs we frequented that night. No one in the pub except us, could the prices attribute to this

Friendly atmosphere and good service.

Always excellent beer and friendly staff

Bit rough around the edges but found it pleasant enough for a quick pint before a gig

The Newcastle Arms on St Andrew's street is another fantastic pub by St James Park that offers a superb range of beers and is without doubt one of the liveliest pubs that we went on a city break in Newcastle. Housed in a traditional pub building which looks fantastic when illuminated'the inside of the Newcastle Arms is superb with many interesting signs which relate to Newcastle United.With excellent seating options and friendly staff and locals it's a great pub to go for a couple of pints before or after the match. The Newcastle Arms was really busy when we visited here as Newcastle United where at home to Burnley FC in the Carabao cup which Newcastle United lost.We visited two other pubs around this area and all of the pubs we visited were really busy and there was a great atmosphere in here with many fans blaming the owner for this teams poor form as Newcastle United should be a top team with there fan base and history. When here we had a couple of beers from the Firebrick brewery which were perfectly served and well priced.A great pub that is well worth visiting and easy to locate from St James Park bus or metro stop it's only a few minute's walk.(This is my first review of the Newcastle Arms). Opening Hours Monday-Thursday-12.00-23.00. Friday-Saturday-12.00-00.00. Sunday-12.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. St James Park bus stop. Nearest Metro Stop. St James Park metro Stop.

Traditional pub, filled with people having a good night out on a Saturday evening. Reasonable selection of beers.

Two pints £10.50. Previous round in the Percy, £5.70.

Fantastic staff, very accommodating. Great atmosphere 👌

The cocktails were lovely! Totally recommend- got 2 for £13. Were very strong and well made. Lovely staff aswell

Friendly staff good quencher on a hot day

Four of us went for what we hoped would be a good pint or two before dinner. We were shown to a table by a friendly young lady who told us what draft beers were on offer. We chose Abydale Deception which we know is...

Average..with I thought quite expensive pint

Great small local pub Great welcome

Great old school Newcastle pub, fantastic music on the jukebox, friendly owner and a really nice vibe. It's how pubs used to be in all the best possible ways.

A local bar in the middle of town. Amazing staff

I walked in here tonight and Joanne who I met was fantastic - showed me and explained all the rules and regulations - she showed professionalism - very impressed, I will return, god bless Joanne.

Was given absolutely horrendous service by one of the barmaids in this establishment. Simply asked if she could ask her fellow barmaid to come over and give us some drink, she replied by saying 'can you not effing ask yourself?' This girl was called Lauren...

Now that we have think a different way. Popped in Yesterday (2/8/20) with Mrs T. We absolutely loved it. The young lady was a dream. Took our temps and relevant details. Asked the under aged to leave (fantastic). We had a lovely conversation and the beers were perfect. More the 5🌟

Great staff, especially Alan. The clientele after great as well. Love the Juke box, the zany banter and general atmosphere of fun and cheer.

An oasis on the edge of the consumer shopping mall nightmare. Really good staff, real people and great real ale.

Friendly staff and great decor.

Meet my lover in Newcastle Arms ever Karen xx

Great beer and good service at the bar, just wish it wasn't so loud, had to shout just to be heard when out with friends.

Stalwart Newcastle pub. Good for a quick beer after work!

Buenas cervezas, el camarero muy simpatico

Great pub loved atmosphere, decor of real traditional pubs👍👍👍

Only 2 other people in the bar when we were there on a Sunday night, we only had 1 drink and left. Staff were nice but the place could do with a revamp. I won't be back.

Proper old bar, comfortable and good selection of ales

Have visited this pub quite a few times and the atmosphere is always great, it's more of a traditional pub rather than a themed pub, which I think is great, it's got a warm feeling to it. Margaret, who seems to run everything, is always...

Great place for a beer after the game.

A friendly pub just around the corner from St James' Park. They have a great selection of real ale, along with usual beers and largers. I believe they accept CAMRA members.

Small but friendly city centre pub with reasonable prices

After having been disappointed with the so called trendy pubs in Newcastle, found the Newcastle Arms just round the corner from the Premiere Inn at the Gate. Only in Newcastle for a couple of days but visited here twice at night, locals made me feel...

Amazing honest "real" pub... We'll worth a trip to...

There was a choice of 8 cask ales and a nice ambience.

Ok but pricey. Especially if you are on minimum wage.

Not bad, lovely pint of stout. Unfortunately it was a match days, so more expensive than none match days.

If it was not for Margaret it would be one star, over priced beer and quality so so

Just around the corner from Stowell St the heart of Chinatown. Was very quiet when I visited for a pre dinner beer or two. Real ales available. Old style bar area.

Hadnt been in here for years but as we were dining in nearby China town we decided to have a pre meal drink it's still an excellent pub with a very good selection of ales and cocktails

Our go to bar after work, we only work in the offices a short stone throw away. We used to drink in the strawberry before trying this place, but one day we did and as a team we’ve never looked back. No WiFi or televisions...

Friendly classic style pub. Clean and well stocked

Cosy pub with friendly staff and good selection of beers and good value for money

Great pub with a great atmosphere too.

Nice pub with a rustic feel, but didn’t smell the best and fruit flys buzzing around you whilst drinking.

Great place incredible inside great selection clean friendly

Good selection of real ales, but if you want a pint of ordinary beer, ie John Smiths, go elsewhere. What they serve is not John Smiths, absolutely disgusting !!!

Always pop in for a pint when in toon and not driving nice staff decent beer. Nuff said

It’s a pub with broad appeal I expect. It’s a genuinely nice place with a good range of drinks. I would come again.

Staff were friendly, food was great, and hubby enjoyed the wide range of beers available

Lots of local home brew drinks served here.

Cracking boozer, great selection of ales and a friendly barmaid. Shame about the regular hogging the jukebox with depressing selections that killed the vibe of the place (and his fantastically irritating laugh.) We’d have stayed longer if he wasn’t there, but he’s there every night...

Busy bar right by St James’ Park, geared up to cope with sports crowds. Plenty of staff ensured speedy delivery of pints at reasonable prices. We had a fun time engaging with both locals and visiting rugby fans. A great time was had by all.

Not the worst pub in town, seems to be trying very hard to be hip...which I’m not. I’ll leave it to the bearded folk.

Great interior architecture and very near St James park

Great pub Margaret behind the bar is lovely

Good bar with a good selection of real ales

Nothing pretentious here just different beers on tap. Decent environment to meet up for a few pints.

Beer was truly awful, verging on vinegar.

Excellent selection of beers. Friendly staff and great atmosphere on match days.

Newcastle away nice friendly pub 5mins if that from stadium

Great time very friendly place atmosphere first class.would recommend it....

Love to grab a last pint here before the trip up to St James Park..

Went here today for lunch with 3 friends. The first impression was an overwhelming strange smell - like someone had cooked a pan of cabbage in domestos. The building was cold too. The menu was odd, lots of strange offerings, the titles of which didn't...

Good range of beers. Bit smelly

With family prior to a Sunday birthday luncheon on Stowell Street. Empty pub just after opening time descended upon by a horde of screaming banshees singing along to the wierdest "Baby Shark" song on the JukeBox and playing serving pretend odd pizzas with Black Sheep...

Dogs friendly pub couple of real cask alles .

We call in to this gem of a pub on our way to St James metro, great beers with special deals and Margaret the resident barmaid is always a pleasure to see, a cosy pub with traditional decor

Really authentic pub with real ales and very relaxed inside ,very simple decor but it works very well with a chandelier and large mirror but apart from that very simply done.it was very quiet when we called in as it was early afternoon but I’m...

Great little pub on the edge of China town always good for a catchup after work

Friendly and welcoming bar lady
