Easter Sunday, busy and good vibes but served by a new lad with a chip on his shoulder, slammed my beer on the bar- surprised glass didn't crack - it needed topped up as well - and it was impossible for him to say please or thank you. He did put ice and lemon in a kids drink but he decided a vodka & tonic doesn't need more than 2 ice cubes and totally by passed the fruit... No personable bar skills at all, shame because we love this bar...

Perhaps I Cought the staff on the wrong day.. Didn't feel totally relaxed for some reason.. No table service and the price of the two beers I was served I'd expect a much more professional service.. Yeah a tad disappointed.. I felt ignored and not much of a greeting on arrival... Menu looked decent.. But as I'd not felt particularly welcome.. I decided to spend my cash else where.. As a former Mine host and always had a feel for my customers and the general public.. Yeah disappointed.. Perhaps next time.. Fingers Crossed 🤞

Honestly one of the best Sunday lunches I've had in a long time. Good portions of chicken and beef, all perfectly cooked as well as the vegetables. Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff. Only thing I'd say is they need to have custard as an option in they're desert menu as well as ice cream. 👍🏻

We live in Tynemouth but have really struggled to find decent food in the village so we decided to wander down to the Quay Taphouse on the Fish Quay. What a great decision that turned out to be. We ordered Salt & Pepper Calamari, Spanish Platter, Mussels, Nashville Chicken Tenders, Garlic Mushrooms on Toast and chunky chips. All of the dishes were pretty decent portion sizes (the chip portion was huge) and the taste and quality of the food was fantastic. We loved them all. We will definitely be going back.

We had our wedding here at the quay taphouse on the 26th of august 2023 and was honestly one of the best days ever. The staff were absolutely amazing and helped the day to run so smoothly. The barman who was working upstairs for us was so friendly and everyone said how lovely he was! Thank you to the manager for helping so much too! The food was absolutely amazing and came out with absolutely no faults at all! Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you so much x

Our first visit since the new chef took over. Tapas was mediocre, the crab was excellent, other dishes not so much. Chicken burgers were overcooked with breadcrumbs bordering on being burnt. We didn’t rate the experience, plenty of better options nearby.

Went for lunch for the 2nd time today and selected the chicken & veg pie with chips. Waited for around half hour for the food. This time around the experience was different , the pie was minced up chicken which was dry with a very hard crust disc on top. Chips were fine , a fraction of gravy in the gravy boat. Also Guinness is not on draft and only the can option. So had a diet drink. Cost £16. Should have went to greggs , sorry will not be back left full meal on the table.

Average bar service, unfortunately, my rare beef salad was so overpowered by the pickled cabbage, I couldn't taste the salsa verde, even the chilli, I wouldn't have to write this review, but when I explained this to the lady serving us, she said it's a personal preference that's that. I would think on a customer service level she would at least say thanks for your feedback and I will let the chef know. would have been polite and I was listened to, for the critique of my dining experience. I don't think the staff care to much about what comes out on service and are more interested in chatting to the boys at the bar, my table was from around 3 pm to 5 pm on Saturday 4th Feb 23, I don't think I will be returning. The runner buss boy was very good and he listened more than the girl staff chatting at the bar.

The tapas is great, as good as ever if not even better... however the Sunday lunches have gone down hill lately. Flat Yorkshires (they used to be AMAZING!! Best in North Shields by far) and the gravy tastes straight out of the packet. Waitress told me it's not, but I'd have to disagree. The meat is always cooked well, but 'skin left on' roast potatoes are a big thumbs down from me I'm afraid. Mash good, smooth and buttery... greens are pretty good, cooked to the bite. Service is always fabulous! Especially Becca! Just please, get those Sunday lunches back on track!

Visited this place in February and loved it. Food,staff,atmosphere were all great. We were looking forward to going back. Sadly it was really disappointing. Despite being told the menu hadn’t changed, there was only one item on the menu which we had ordered previously. The portion size was small and everything was lukewarm. We had difficulty finishing everything the first time and left hungry on the second visit .The first picture shows food on the first visit (we paid extra for onion rings). The second picture is our second visit. Same price.No comparison. Won’t be back.

Excellent eating experience. Great beers and very good food. We went as a group and pretty much tried most things on the tapas menu, they were all delicious so just choose some you like the look of and you won't be disappointed. I would suggest about 5 tapas per couple, more if you are really hungry. Surprisingly light on the stomach too, left feeling full, not bloated. We will be back!

Oh how the standards gave changed from when this place first opened ,I remember going and having the potted crab ,it was beautiful but went the other day ,what a miserable portion greeted me talk about the difference I should have taken a photo the first time and compared it with this time ,if I was the chef I would have been embarrassed turning out the coleslaw it came out in what I could only describe a a little bit bigger than a Thimble , 2 forks and it was empty ,ant the crab ,1st time came in a nice sized pot with the clarified butter on top this time the pot was half the size and looked as if it was bought at morrisons 2 slices of that's no butter what a let down will definately not be helping him get rich on me very disappointed, COME ON QUAY TAP STEP UP AND PUT IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS money for nothing very poor value for money

Attended a private function in the upstairs room. We had to wait 20 mins downstairs in bar and passage until they got the room ready although it had been booked for weeks. When we finally got upstairs it took an hour to get everyone seated - not enough seats and tables for 40 people and really not enough room. Food finally came served on two small tables - nowhere near enough for 40 people - several people got nothing. When we complained they eventually brought out a bowl of chips and some deep fried haloumi - not acceptable so still got nothing. Very loud talking and noise from kitchen area during speeches which was disgraceful. Would not recommend this place for a function as they didn't seem to have a clue about seating/catering for a large party.

I attended a wedding here at the weekend. They were very poorly organised. There were not enough seats for all the guests to sit for a meal. My kids and I were plonked away from the rest of the wedding party on a lone table. This was moved to join to rest of the party after I had to request. The father of the bride was trying to give his speech whilst the staff (I assume in the kitchen /through an open doorway) kept talking and laughing at such a volume that guests were unable to hear the speeches. Staff were politely asked to lower the volume, but they didn’t do so. The catering was extremely poor. Many of the guests went without food as The Tap House had drastically under catered for the event, even though they were given the correct number of attendees. On a plus side, the bar staff were very friendly and helpful. I would not recommend this venue for events.
