Newcastle Tap in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great drink selection, not badly priced. Very dog friendly atmosphere and lovely staff. Didn't eat there but would recommend

Nice establishment, expensive but all craft beer places are. Food was canny, not much atmosphere.

Good beer, lovely pizza and friendly staff.

Fab place great atmosphere, lovely staff drinks n food amazing will defo return

Stopped off in Newcastle before an early flight, the Tap was opposite our hotel. Some lovely beers, friendly, helpful staff and a lovely pizza and salad too. Would really recommend and we’ll be back next time

Really nice place for 5+ people to catch up

Always has good beer and relaxed atmosphere

Exciting and exotic pizza. Good selection of Beer. Very Nice and good service

Staff is very friendly. Had to taste several beers before I could order the right one. Huge selection. Highly recommended for beer lovers

Friendly staff, great beers and the best pizza in Newcastle.

Experienced brilliant service here after the Great North Run. Staff were very understanding, kind and welcoming. Lovely setting, a righteous pint and a delicious pizza. My new first stop off the train in Newcastle. Thank you.

Friendly staff and comfortable setting with good variety of choices and convenient location to train station and old town.

Nice pint from friendly knowledgeable staff Well recommend

Some decent beers on shame we left it till last orders else we would have stayed longer

Awful music in an otherwise cool tap house. ("classic" rock, ugh, 😴)

Massive selection of beers something for everyone 👌

Keg craft beer, lager and draught real ale. Pizzas good. Mittel lager is tops.

Great place to pop in while waiting for our train

Awesome! A ton of beers on tap and great unique pizza. I recommend a minty one for ewe.

We really enjoyed ut in here. Went 3 times. Good range of beers, decent wine and a good atmosphere.

Great pub with a wide variety of cask and keg beers

Dead on the Saturday we were in.. lovely looking place though.

Very friendly place with a good atmosphere lovely beers and pizza even got advice on where to eat when we visited Tynemouth shame we live 250 miles away as we’d be regulars

Been a few times 1st time with mrs. Loved it … I get brownie points too 🤣🤣🤣😂 - didn’t have pizza (many where) but next time will.

Pizzas are fantastic as always. Beer is amazing and the staff are awesome ❤️

Great selection of beers, very good pizza, just across the road from the station.

The pizza was really nice and the staff friendly and helpful. The beer selection was a little bit dull for me but what they did have on tasted good. Also, there’s no customer WiFi.

This place is a rip off. We paid £24 for one mushroom pizza and when I asked for chili oil they charged me £2 for a little bit of oil with some chili flakes in it. Never going back.

Great bar with a fabulous selection of ales and helpful and knowledgeable bar staff ... A very pleasant experience especially having come from a horrible experience at Brew Dog.

Best bar in town friendly staff love pizza very clean

Love this place - fantastic selection of beers (including non-alcoholic options) and friendly service. Great pizza too! Can't wait to come back on my next trip to Newcastle.

Finally came here after walking by so many times. The other reviews you read about the staff being great and the food being tasty are spot on. The pizzas were tastier than they had any right to be. The selection of beers is great and the prices are reasonable for city centre. Perhaps the best bit about this place is the staff. They're clearly hard working and they still find time to be kind to customers spanning a wide range of ages. We will recommend this place to friends and we will return because the staff, the food and the drinks are all so ace. Glad we called in. Can't wait to return.

A lovely pint of beer great selection of ales. Lovely

Good selection of ale, reasonably priced

My friend thinks this is his perfect pub - craft beer, stonebaked pizza, good music and you can still talk. Big window to watch Newcastle nightlife walking past.

Really cool taproom with lots of unique beers.

One of the best selections of beers in Newcastle. Something for every palate from lagers to sours through to stouts and porters. Also super friendly service and the pizza is good!

Great selection of draft and bottled beers but surprisingly no Newcastle brown ale. I'm a tourist and upon entering the "Newcastle Tap" I expected to find it. Otherwise, very good atmosphere.

My department have been coming here on nights out for a number of years now and it is our firm favourite - from bar staff to food to seating, we absolutely love this place and everything about it. Fab staff, excellent music choices, and the beer selection is out of this world.

Dog friendly pub close to central station. Has good cocktails (by the looks of it good pizza too). Would go back 10/10

Plenty drinks on offer. Good location

Always an excellent selection of beers. Close to Newcastle Central Station so a really good place to wait out a bit of time with a glass or two. From 5pm onwards it fills up and the atmosphere takes off. Mix of UK and international beers. Well worth a visit.

Pub with excellent range of beers across from station. Can get busy but great place to sit with a beer when it's quiet. The staff are really knowledgeable too. All of their beers are labelled if their vegan friendly and there's a vegan pizza on the menu too!

First time visit, will definitely visit again, staff friendly and a lovely atmosphere.

Depending on the time of day you go, it can either be half decent music at a welcoming volume or awful 80s pop played overwhelmingly loudly. I hadn't been in in about 18 months after having a soured pint of cask replaced by a different, also soured cask pint but was after something to eat at that end of town. Had a decent keg stout, an unseasoned pizza, and then tried something on cask which, perhaps predictably, soured. I think it'll be more than 18 months next time

Everything you could ever want from a modern craft/cask and cider bar, great conditioned beer, super clean and we have to give a special mention to the lovely Mia for spoiling our dogs rotten, they were made to feel as welcome as we were. I’d thoroughly recommend the Newcastle Tap to anyone travelling to the area

Brilliant brew, great time and a lovely chat with bartender Mia who was kinda and helpful with directions. Great time, great spot and the pizzas smelt great! Will come again

Came here twice, once for beers and once for food and had a nice time. Great selection of drinks and the pizza was really good. The guy behind the bar was friendly and recognized us the next day we came in.

I went in on a drink after work type thing. Amazing selection of beers on tap. On the back wall you can read what each beer is like, hoppy or whatever. Don't get the fascination with overly hopped beer. It tastes like elderflower. And another thing. What is the fascination with elderflower. Why ruin a good drink with floral tones? Where was I? All one one level so wheelchair friendly but it is crowded with an assortment of tables and high bar stools. That's before it gets crowded with an assortment of people. If they do food that's news to me. If you want a nasty pint of Fosters then there's a wether spoons over the road.

I had an hour to kill whilst waiting for a replacement train. The staff had a good bit of chat in them, and a wide selection of beers made the time fly.

A pleasant place to grab a quick bite to eat with very friendly staff.

Great selection of craft ales, and atmosphere is good.

Great beer and some cracking music

Great selection of ales & always 6 good hand pull cask ales. Pizzas are best in the town & friendly staff.

Really nice bar with comfortable seating. A nice way to pass the time over a drink while people watching

Great pizza, amazing variety of beers, was in at lunchtime so not expecting much atmosphere

Ok bar very close to central station. Mittle pilsner is their own brand. Ok taste.

Great beer selection. Friendly knowledgable staff. What's not to like!!

Great beer selection, but average service

Good service , many beer ales lagers ciders yo choose from great place to start. Very lively atmosphere. Be back again

Possibly one of my favourite places in Newcastle. Open plan drinking area with plenty of tables. Last time I was here there was footie on, and there were plenty of happy people on their way to watch the match and I had a few cracking random conversations. This time was just a Thursday evening while I waited for my train home and there was a healthy number of people there. Spare space so we didn't feel crowded, but enough to make it feel happy and sociable. Big windows so plenty of natural light, and a decent range of ales on to satisfy almost every taste (although they were a bit light on imperial stout, I'll forgive them as it's a general issue with breweries right now!) The pizzas are brilliant. An interesting selection to keep everyone happy and not too long to wait for it. Finally the staff. Always seems to be a friendly and patient team trying their best to match you to your drink. Fair play, front of house team. One concern I did have was how suitable this place would be during the zombie apocalypse. Big windows would be very hard to fortify, so unless they have shutters then I would suggest an alternative location for hunkering down.

Wide variety of beers. Some good German pilsner

What a fantastic selection of pizzas, I could've picked so many off the menu! I opted for a BBQ pizza and it was really tasty, 12" was perfect for a filling lunchtime meal. Looking forward to visiting Newcastle again so I can try the other flavours! Advanced selection of ciders and beers too!

Friendly service and a great selection of beers in modern surroundings

Clean, warm, great variety of beers, what's there not to like? The barmaid was really nice. I've been to their sister pub in Leeds. I'll be back. The pizzas are nice too.

Fab bar, with a great choice of beer and cider. Lovely atmosphere and very central. (Pizza also looked great although we didn't try it!)

Excellent range of Ales, Lagers and Beers.

I was rather intoxicated in this place. And they were very kind as to help support me sober up and tape my shoe!

Came back here since 9months. Good beer selection. I like Green Mountain (IPA)

Removed from our seat by the bouncer because it was ‘reserved’ but when we asked the group of girls if they had reserved they claimed the bouncer had approached them and offered them a table. Not a good look when it comes to customer service

A typical pub, frequented by many locals, noisy like all the pubs in the centre.

It's ok for a pitstop but we couldn't stay all night.

Visited the Newcastle Tap on the evening of Tues 7th Nov, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the Pizza is currently one of the best in Newcastle...Full compliments to the excellent Pizza Chef!! Beers are expensive but are first class. We have enjoyed several great nights out at the Newcastle Tap but the Pizza on this visit was exceptional.

I’ve been known to claim that all lagers are the same, but I had a Mittel here and can safely say it’s one of the crispest, driest, most appetising pints I’ve ever had. The pizza was an unexpected find, beating any of the dedicated pizza restaurants in town (and I’ve tried a few!). Staff are on point, making great recs and regularly checking in on everyone. Will come again!

Great variety of beers and fab atmosphere!

If you go Sundays they call last orders around 10pm and seem keen for you to push off. Official closing time 1030pm

For so long we have used this place for pizza pitstop,,,not any more,,,, very poor,

Designed with a ware house industrial in mind , yet it’s a friendly fun pub that’s churning out a fair selection of beers , larger and even a lovely stout. Maybe a bit more expensive than others but Less busy than the crammed locals. Good music system and classic beats soon helps the beers to disappear. Handy stopover from the rail station.

Brilliant choice of real ales and friendly staff a brilliant place.

The Tap has unfortunately succumbed to joining the masses of noisey bars we already have enough of in Newcastle. Still a great selection of beer and ciders, but you can't hear yourself think now that they've started blasting out the music, used to love going for good beer and being able to talk without straining my voice but those days are done.

This has to be my favourite pub in Newcastle. Its comfortable, relaxing, friendly staff with the best selection of drinks, snacks and pizzas. The smell of the warm pizza oven is so inviting. The UK needs more Taps please

A great selection of beers in this clean quirky bar. Was nice to find somewhere a little less crazy than the local bars We were pleased to see a gluten free beer on tap and the bar staff explained the options in the fridge and gave details about the process at the brewery. Jealous of the non-coeliacs but happy that we had a choice too! Great experience and will be back

Low alcohol beers. Very few beers with more than 5%. No Newcastle Brown Ale, even if it is less than 5% also. Edit: Corrected by management. Apparently they do have beers over 5%. When I asked about beers with a kick the bar tenders pointed me to two that had more than 5% but both were "sours". If I had known they had beers with a big kick as management states I would have spent more time and money there.

Dropped in last night for beers and a pizza. Pizza was lush highly recommended

Good pub can hear your self talk,not my kind of food.

Good service, selection of beers and pizza was nice too

Good for beer. Many options. Food limited to pizza. We had only beer, that has many good options.

My hubby and I recently popped in to Newcastle Tap for a few beers whilst enjoying a night in town. We both enjoyed our drinks a lot. I had the Jericho and my hubby had a stout. We will definitely be back again for food too as it smelled so good.

1st time visit. Staff very friendly and attentive. Was busy having just had Newcastle play at home and a festival cancelled so the town is buzzing. Service was quick and items fair priced. In the picture is the cluck cluck chicken 🐔 (top) and the bottom one is the American dream. Both were very nice, and the pizza dough amazing. Would recommend to anyone fancying a nice pint in a good atmosphere wanting a decent pizza that won't break the bank. 12" or 18" are your option, we both had 12". Quite a unique surrounding as one of the picture shows the cellar is actually above the bar. Looks amazing.

Brilliant food and lovely staff now has become my regular from work.

We didn't eat but the food did look really good. Amazing selection of beer and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend it if your train is delayed.

Opened several times again in June/July 2023: What can you say, still worth 5 stars. This great selection of real and cask ales and the still very tasty pizzas. Always worth a visit. Visited again in April 2023 on the occasion of the Beer Festival: Still great and really tasty pizzas. 3 years ago: Man what a great selection of beers. A pleasure not only for us real ale enthusiasts...If that's not enough beer for you, you're a braggart who probably only drinks bud and thinks it's beer.

I didn’t try the food but it sounded great. The drinks were good. No wifi in the bar which was a bit of a shock, given how close the place is to the train station! Atmosphere was a bit quiet early in the day but that’s to be expected! Great location. Toilets were a bit odd - lights didn’t come on for ages

Great place to have a drink and best pizza in Newcastle

Still a great selection of beers, try the Veltins Pilsner in a frozen glass if they have it. Pizza wise get a Ruby Murray, lovely.

First time to UK best pizza in town got to try drunken chicken, if you like bbq paired with four roses bourbon .. lol

The selection of beers on tap is incredible :)

Chef Spence recommended the lamb kofta special, bloody gorgeous fresh spicy toppings and charred bottom. Lining our stomachs for a perfect day

Great selection of cask and keg craft beer. We had a variety of local and not so local beers.
