Rafferty's Bar in Newcastle upon Tyne

Good juke box. Shame about the prices though. £14. 75 for a pint and a double gin x tonic was a bit steep.

Typical Newcastle pub. Good range of reasonably priced beers, wines and spirits. Friendly staff and can be busy. Definitely worth a visit

Great old fashioned pub great value

We fancied a Guinness, but Rafferty's no.29 is not the place to be. Poorly tapped and not creamy at all. Beer killed me. There was no music, the tipsy regulars shouted back and forth at the barmaid, who was nice. Toilets were in need of maintenance and the floor was very sticky. Wouldn't come back here. Shame.

A canny bar, not the greatest beer in the world, but I have had far worse.

Hello Newcastle! First beer of the my Hadrians Wall Path hike!

Like this place. Stumbled upon it

Popped in for an hour one evening, good Ales polite staff... Rather enjoyable..

There was a very drunk man knocking deinks over and still getting served

Was going great til the karaoke started, then hot even better. Belting night, don't go if you've got work then next day.

Cheap pint.. Good meeting place off thd train

Great pub, always visit here on a night out, cheap jager bombs to get things going 😀

Emma was lovely told me and all my friends about the student offers and the shot of the week deals she stood and spoke to us and had crack for a while was a lovely experience

class service were nothing but lovely. do a free shot with your drink with student ID and are cheap

Best place to be after football match

Unreal gaff, top staff! Haway the frisbee

Top bar, top service, up the GB ultimate frisbee u23s. AM GAN TO GET MY SUIT MEASURED

A rare Cheers type bar in the city centre. Staff are brilliant.

Decent bar, mint bar staff, class atmosphere especially a home game 😍😍 top notch banter from some of the staff 👌

Always good to be here. Been he’re a lot of times so now we’re regular guest (coming over from the Netherlands). See you next weekend👍

Was only in for 1 pint of guiness. Unfortunately was poured as it was a pint of larger, wasn't left to settle maybe down to experience.

Big group of us, barman kept over charging us on purpose. Called him out. Wont be going there again. Shame. Decent place.

Nice pleasant bar and a nice pint.

Unbelievably a treble is cheaper than a double! Always friendly staff! Been going there for years but only just remembered to write a review! It helps if you're skinny in the gents toilets 😁

Not nice.....you just feel out of place. Beer not nice I only had a half but left it as didn't tasted good....won't be back...

Great little bar, prices of beer/Guiness fair..friendly and plenty of seating...prefer early afternoon.

No frills bar that serves better drinks than those new age bars. I'm a millennial myself but this place served honest good drinks. Staff we're friendly and the was a good amount of space to have a wind down.

Wow! Really great here! Super nice service, beer delicious, schnapps delicious. Pup and toilet clean. We'd love to come back here when we're in Newcastle again! Thanks for the great day!

Big Dan's Rafferty's Army. Great place on football days staff are brilliant here been visiting this pub for years love it

Great selection of Malt Whiskies and beer

Great traditional pub totally spoilt

Beer was nice, music was naff, wish the Rafferty's side had of been open

Been going in there 40yrs off and on, friendly and cheap drinks, always good crack

Very cool, laid-back place. I stopped in on a weekday afternoon for a few pops, and stayed for quite a few more than that. There's a jukebox with a good selection and it gives you like 4 or 5 plays for a pound. Nice! I think the jukebox has an internet connection for downloading still more songs, if you need that. Check out the sign on the jukebox - I love it.

Had a great time after watching Newcastle United at St James Park and a few locals invited us to back for a few drinks and banter. Everyone welcoming inside, especially as we were visitors from Northern Ireland and non NUFC fans. Bar staff very friendly and smiling 😃

Really nice place, would recommend 👍

Staff very nice and friendly treble vodka for a fiver whats not to like. Never been there before but would Definitely visit again. Pretty quiet as it was saturday afternoon but it was a really good place to sit with friends and have drinks.

The atmosphere was great, but watch the bar with their minimum spend of 5 pound!!

Awesome pub, great staff, fantastic jukebox

Back lane pub. Was ok. Had a half of lager whilst waiting for a train.was clean and cheap. Opposite central station in pink lane. No complaints from me.

Nice atmosphere, friendly punters and staff, good pints

I ordered a drink at the bar, they opened and then told me they have a minimum of 5 pounds for card otherwise it has to be cash, then i asked for two pints and they only sold me one because they wanted to close soon of they didn't get more clients, then after less than 30 minutes they asked me to finish my drink faster because they wanted to close, and by the end, a drunk guy was trying to fight the staff so... Not best experience :(

Great little pub with lots of character. Great location on the way to St james park

Used to love this place but not the same at all, music far too loud even staff shouting to talk to each other.

Decent Guinness, not much atmosphere and smells of smoke. Great value though

Do not recommend. Staff are very rude. The older lady behind the bar is drinking her sorrows away whilst treating customers with zero hospitality. The last time I was there the young bartender girl was drunk on shift and flouncing around the venue like it was a playground. Regrettably I asked her if she was still on shift as it was my round, the young girl broke out like a thunderstorm in uproar and so we decided to leave.

Footie pub, cheap on way to station 👍

Lovely atmosphere and very welcoming and friendly. Selection of beers good and great prices 👌

Chilled atmosphere friendly and good juke box

Cracking bar, never changes, some might not like that but I do. The staff are also brilliant, canny pint for a canny price

Lovely place, good prices, good music, friendly people.

Great atmosphere, prices ok....toilets need a huge upgrade...or just a good wash & some locks on the doors would do!

Great beer fantastic atmosphere lovely bar staff

Cheeky little hidden away pub took some pals there because the nugget who's birthday it was took is to D&P ... And D&P is the pits Cheap pints , actual glass pint glasses , only a couple stinky looking customers 4* because they had some sort of chastity device on the hot taps in the toilet

Always a great time here atmosphere fantastic some staff could smile a bit more hahaha

Rough and ready just like the Geordies like it

Great atmosphere excellent night

Cheap and cheerful. No frills bar.

Rough around the edges good pub & canny beer

Great city center pub .....Good selection of beers etc

Great wee beer house and reasonable priced. I'm sure I will be back.

Good bar for karaoke on a Thursday and Sunday evening. It can get quite busy on match days. Staff are friendly, drinks are cheap, plenty of room/seats in the bar. Toilets could do with a bit of an update but the rest of the bar is fine!

Great night there everyone should have a lovely pint there

We went here for a couple of drinks during the afternoon. It's a nice place to go for a quiet drink during the day. The tables are well spaced and the staff are friendly. Good choice of drinks available.

Great bar with amazing atmosphere and friendly staff

My twin brother Stephen and I were out bright and early on a beautiful Thursday morning, we had breakfast in The Quayside Pub followed by a real ale and then we had a few coffee's in a few cafe's and then went exploring, we found ourselves around Cathedral Church Of St Mary and chanced upon Rafferty's Bar down Pink Lane and what a great find. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit here, the interior is superb, a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, cool decor and furnishings including antler ornamentation around the bar area, there's also tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar, its a very cool bar indeed. We ordered a Strongbow cider at the bar ,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back and took in the great bar we were in . My cider was really good, a crisp, effervescent cider that on a hot late morning certainly cut through the thirst, it was just so good being in such a lovely bar enjoying an iced cold cider. We really enjoyed our ciders in here, only stayed for the one each before moving on and for a first time visit to Rafferty's Bar we had a great time. Rafferty's Bar is easy to locate along Pink Lane. Opening hours are; Monday to Wednesday, 11am till 11pm. Thursday to Saturday, 11am till 2am. Sunday, 11am till 12.30am. A wonderful Bar, most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Poor pints with after taste of line cleaning solution. Bar staff with anger management issues

If you like a pub ...bar with an alternative music flavour then give this place a shot. Friendly service, drink prices that are ok.

Good bar . Stag friendly which helps as most of Bars in the area are not

A good hideaway pub@ fair prices

Lovely place, friendly staff, nice drink.

Love it or... love it. I love it. I always have a good time at R. Great location, good prices, 2 rooms to choose from... I have lots of memories from here and all great. This place have won 5 stars for me 16 years ago and lots has changed, but I still come back here when I am in Newcastle.

Rafferty's is a no-nonsense bar and is only a stones throw away from the train station and offers cheap beers and trebles. Located on Pink Lane where there are lots of pubs and bars'Rafferty's has a well kept interior with nice decor and plenty of good seating options throughout the whole bars interior. This was one of the first bars we went to on our last full day in Newcastle and when we were here early in the afternoon this place was fairly busy.When we went here we had a couple of Strongebow brewery ciders an excellent cider which was perfectly served and well priced. Rafferty's won't be to everyone's taste but we enjoyed our visit as the bar staff where friendly and the bar itself is what it is which is a no-nonsense bar in a great area of the city that offers cheap drinks.Easy to locate from Central train station it's a few minutes walk.(This is my first review of Rafferty's). Opening Hours. Monday-Sunday-11.00-01.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Central train station bus stop. Nearest Metro Stop. Central train station metro stop. Nearest Train Station. Central train station.

It was awesome we really enjoyed our self can't wait till we come back to raffertys brilliant staff and the karaoke was fantastic

Up bright and early on a Thursday morning, a brisk walk down the Quayside for breakfast in The Quayside Pub ,we walked over the wonderful Tyne Bridge and back taking in the great views afforded from the bridge then a quick explore around the city centre and into Rafferty's Pub,a pub I've not been before on previous trips to Newcastle Upon Tyne but a pub I will most definitely revisit on future trips to this vibrant city. I loved the look of this pub ,a lovely pubby interior, a cool looking serving bar dominates the main room, nice decor and furnishings including some cool looking antler features turned into lamp fitting,there's all plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, its just a really good back street boozer. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a Thursday morning, pub was just opened so it was relatively quiet ,we ordered a cider each ,these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just kicked back, chilled out and planned out the day ahead while sipping our cider's. My cider was really good, a crisp,effervescent cider that certainly cut through the thirst on a really hot day ,this pub is ready good,it's a proper locals pub,while sipping our ciders this pub really started to fill up ,atmosphere was really good. We really enjoyed our ciders in here before we moved on and for a first time visit to Rafferty's Pub Rafferty's Pub is easy to locate along Pink Lane. Opening hours are; Monday to Sunday, 11am till 1am. A wonderful pub, if you're in the area a pub I highly recommend you check out.

Brillant pub would go back there when i come back to newcastle awesome staff loved the place vh

Brilliant bar. Made feel very welcome. Karaoke on a sunday. Dj was outstanding. Top tunes.

Dive bar but good to go with the lads when you're trying to avoid millions of drunk students

Could do with decorating, but most People who drink in there are returning customers so its not an issue, staff are spot on. Work really hard for there money 💰

Absolute love Rafferty's, like no where else to drink in the town, pints are cheap during the week and its got a amazing jukebox and a fantastic atmosphere! Its just like a local pub but in the centre of town they take care of their regulars! 10/10
