SOHO ROOMS Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Went as part of stag group on a Saturday. Pre booked tickets via messaging on IG. Fantastic night out. Very busy from 11.30 onwards. Music and atmosphere is great, music is 2010's commercial, party music - but has a few floors to cater to different tastes. Drinks are cheap and good drink deals. Younger crowd but will have fun whatever age. Would recommend!

the bouncers are the best bouncers about can’t beat them mate love them all

Drinks cost between 4 and 10 pounds but the music is great and amazing atmosphere later in the night

people there SUCK? maybe get better security? idek what that was…would not recommend…

The first time I went here I found loads of ants in my drink! I was abit sceptical about going back for a second time but I went and didn’t let the ant situation put me off but yet it happened to me again finding ants in my drink! I told the bar tender and his response was you find ants all year round. End of the day I should not have to find ants in my drink! Bare in mind these 2 times going was over a year apart! Never will I ever step foot in this place ever again! Absolutely disgusting 🤮

Theres the same bouncer who’s hit girls before has dragged my friend by her hair shoved me across the room because I walked down the wrong stairs trying to leave? No reason to lay his hands on me and my friend this is making your club look so bad . We come here often and never experienced this ever

Great club, always a good night

Seems to have had a few bad reviews from the same disgruntled group. Just to say dont listen to them . Courteous staff all round and never anything but a fantastic night at SOHO.

Gav, Darren and Johnny are so lovely would recommend, couldn’t rate a better place in town get yourselves to soho now they are so lovely🥰

Employ bouncers that are known for attacking the general public. If you read other reviews it's a common occurrence. This bouncer is well known around felling as he works in Asda and has a habit of following the public based on looks and has attacked 2 others this week alone (one female on male). How this guy is still in a job is beyond me. The establishments that employ him should be held responsible for this happening on their watch including the Soho Rooms

I watched the bartender pour a shot of vodka and when he went to put it into the cup he completely missed and just poured it onto the table - a literal monkey could be trained to do this job. I expected him to pour another shot but instead just pushed the cup towards me expecting me to pay. Also their bouncers are known to just be violent for no reason.

This bouncer is evil ‼️ 2 of my friends have been physically abused by this man !! One of my friends minding her own business in the girls toilots as you do when your a girl !! Just because she has short hair and dressed like a boy this bouncer punched her multiple times and dragged her out of the club and didn’t even have the decency to just ask her as you should , my other friend got dragged out of the toilets scared of her life having a panic attack because she was so scared of him as he punched her multiple times and dragged her down the back stairs as everyone surrounded and tried to help my poor friend this man needs sacked !! They say they are a student club this mahn should be around anyone of a younger age !!!

Was in the club last night there was girl could barely breath and the bouncer dragged her out by her hair she was shaking was petrified from him and just wanted a minute and he was hitting her saying no one back need security sorted the black bouncer been sacked from Asda from the way he goes on and he still does it take his badge of him the dirty man and I’m sick of the soho owner not having any sympathy cos he doesn’t want to loose his staff the fool get ya club sorted

My daughter attended the club with her partner on Wednesday night For apparently no reason a bouncer grabbed her off the dance floor and man handled her with force causing bruising to both upper arms, she was thrown out into the street with no handbag with no way of contacting her partner, no keys to her accommodation and no explanation This is disgusting behaviour and although I have encouraged her to report it to the police she said she doesn’t want to go through all the hassle This needs looking into as I can see your security guards seem to have a habit of this type of behaviour It’s just lucky nothing happened to my daughter being isolated from her friends at 3am in a strange town 😡

Staff don’t know how to make a drink and it’ll take 20 mins+. No point

This place is absolutely horrible! The security here is beyond rude. It's like they enjoy threatening people for the slightest reasons. I mean, seriously? They made such a big fuss about us having a beer bottle outside, acting like it's some kind of crime. Do they not realize that most places actually allow it? And besides, it's not like it's a permanent thing; beer bottles are disposable! But no, these security guards had to act all high and mighty, giving us the ultimatum of either going back inside or getting rid of our drink. Fine, we complied and started heading back inside. But then, out of nowhere, they start yelling at us and getting closer, all filled with anger. We had only been waiting for a measly three seconds! And to make matters worse, we hadn't even finished our first drink of the day. We were completely sober! Can you believe it? To top it all off, when I approached the main door to ask if we could enter, they had the audacity to tell me to walk all the way back and join the long waiting line. The line was empty, for crying out loud! The atmosphere inside seemed fine, and the staff appeared to be friendly. But these security guys? They seriously need to be replaced. After we were done, I stepped outside, only to find them smirking and laughing at us. I wanted to stand up for myself, but what's the point? In their eyes, the security will always be right, no matter how wrong they are. Sure, they can treat drunk people however they want, as if they have no dignity. But what about the other guests? Shouldn't they be treated with respect too? It's obvious that these security people don't give a damn about the business and its reputation.

Good place but for students if you are 30+ you will not feel good

Harrison slaps, bouncers are no onces

Water instead of vodka, rude bartenders who swear at you when you tell them how it is. Won’t be going again. Disgusting.

I keep falling down the stairs.

Full of goblins. A guy asked my friend for bum stuff then denied it and said he's gonna bomb the place.

Booked a booth for New Year’s Eve for the CIRQUE DE SOHO event. No signs of anything themed or the advertised performers etc so not sure what was going on but the booths were tucked away and couldn’t leave them unattended as had to keep asking people to leave Booth was some scruffy seats in the corner or a room with a ladder leading to somewhere. We paid extra to upgrade to a better booth which was bigger but equally just as poor. The whole venue was extremely run down, dirty and very poor. The toilets were absolutely filthy with no locks, soap or working hand dryers.

Music wasn’t great, think the DJs could freshen it up a bit rather than 2010 pop. Also a lick of paint would help.

One of the bartenders were extremely rude and when i complained about the behaviour they took my drinks which i already paid for out of my hands and proceeded to insult me overall provided a very homophobic and rude environment

blonde female bartender took my friends drinks and threw them away after he paid for him because he wanted a straw and she screamed in his face after he said nothing. very poor service.

A very short man (bouncer) called me a radgie and it hurt my feelings. Nice tunes though

Awful place to go. They let kids in. Never check ID properly.

£19 for two single drinks on a Monday night? Literally extortion

Needs a good clean, stairs to the toilets down stairs were dangerous, soaking wet, the women's toilets was disgusting, so dark, no locks, and floor covered in wee only go if very desperate, absolutely disgusting. Lad threw up all over the floor, took bar staff ages to clean it up.

absolute vibeeeeeeee, lizzy on the bar is the one ! had a top night, 11/10

Nice enough bar, went on student night which wasn't as good but overall good place

Cheap entry but not cheap drinks (£9.5 for a double shot drink, £6.5 for a single shot drink). Alright music and young crowd.

First time at this place last wow fantastic door staff and stewards were happy and good banter only downside to it the prices of the drinks but other then that fantastic brilliant

Newcastle got the best women in england⚫⚪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Ridiculously expensive... £17 for two single Whiskey and Cokes!?! But my friends paid half for two double vodkas. Either the prices for whiskey are ridiculously high, or I was ripped off because the staff assumed I was drunk. Horribly off-putting.

Love this club , only reason I'm giving it four stars is because if the bartender called Lucy. Some girls kept stealing my wig in the club multiple times during Halloween, and when we did found them in the toilet with the wig, I was angry and confronted them about it but the bartender intruded without knowing the whole situation. She was absolutely rude and egoistic, we have been going to the club for 3 years far longer than she has been working there. But the supervisor/ manager was really nice to us saying he/she would have a word with her. Besides that security guards and all absolutely amazing.So, there's multiple floors with different genre. Different days with different student themes. It's good.

Nice music and lovely staffs xx

Great sound and song collection. But not my kind of party.

Very nice and chill atmosphere, food is delicious, and the whole restaurant is very hygenic, overall an amazing experience. Thank you Soho for the experience

Jacob Romera is the best bartender I have ever had , I love this place

Cost £10.50 for a pink gin a lemonade...and then £9.50 for the same but with a Pepsi as well. Clearly not charging correct prices and not showing me the price before I paid

Decent music, cheap drinks, student central 🙄

Bouncer took one look at me and a friend and said "not today lads", we hadn't even drank yet, it was mid afternoon. The group infront of us didn't have masks, but he made the effort with them for some reason and said "Don't worry, I'll get you a mask". Shame he could judge myself and my friend so fast but went out of his way to help others. Anyway, we went elsewhere with our cash, their loss, I won't be back.

It’s a good place, better than digital 👍🏻

Terrific. Had us for a party of 9 and all the food was excellent and not at all expensive. Will absolutely be back, Excellent Ramen.

Last Saturday night my friend and I asked asked to get into soho, but it was late so they weren't letting new people in so we accepted that and we walked off. Later, we were stood up the street far from the entrance of soho, in a doorway so we werent on the street. My friend was trying to call someone so I was stood in front of her when a soho bouncer came up from the club to harass us, saying we were trying to sneak into the club. He was grabbing my friend forcefully and pushing her as I was trying to explain we were calling a mate and we weren't even near the club so there was no chance we could sneak in. He just kept on talking over me, and kept grabbing and shoving my friend. He was strawberry blonde about 5 '8, white.It was unnessasery and an unjust use of force as we weren't near the club or even on the main street. Whatever the reason, the use of force was completely unjustified and left us feeling threatened. Bouncers need to learn boundaries and not to harass people. If we have to worry about spiking in the club and harassment outside of it, what do we have? What's the point of going out?

Shocking place. I'm sure the bar man ripped me off as well 20 pound for 3 pints

decent night out, good student deals on

Great atmosphere, like the fact that there's different music on each floor. Only let down is the bouncers can be a little rude and the drinks could be cheaper. Other than that, some good nights here :)

Very busy. Many floors, all with different music. Good night out.

Great club, even during restrictions watching the England Vs Scotland game was brilliant, great atmosphere

scammers. Advertised as a discounted night and then charged me 9.50 for a double vodka red bull. Drinks are already expensive enough there's just no need

Nice atmosphere and very helpful staff

Bouncers tried to act like hard men by grabbing my friends arm and then pushing me at force when I told him to get off her. There was absolutely no need to lay hands on anyone and I’m in shock that his colleague just stood laughing when this was going on instead of stopping him from laying hands on us. I have to say that all the bar staff that helped out when our other friend was ill were amazing and I cannot fault them but the way the bouncer acted was bang out of order and hence why I have made this review, I will also be putting in an official complaint.

Waste of time and money not its better to go flares

Me and two of my mates paid for a table and drinks costing us £150. We expected a VIP table, a bottle of vodka, Prosecco and 6 jäger bombs. Unfortunately the table was situated slap bang in the middle of the room and not even remotely cordoned off. Our bottle of Prosecco did not make an appearance and the overall experience was definitely not worth the money. It’s a shame as we were in soho the night before without a paid for table and we had a good night. I have tried on multiple occasions to request a refund with no success or even acknowledgment of my message.

Price of a round for 2 people at nearly 20 quid is not too good for the place it is especially at 5 in the evening. Great place for stag and hen partys to start off. Music loud

horrible and rude manager, went to the first floor and couldn't breathe, atmosphere was boring, would not recommend!!!!

I absolutely loved Soho whilst at uni, I even told my friends it where I want my wake to be held. I only graduated last year, but unfortunately, I went last night and I paid £9.50 for the privilege of a double vodka coke. Because I am not a student, I was not eligible to buy the two trebs and a Jaga deal for £7.50. Utter disgrace, how on Earth do you hope to retain customers? Or do you just want your clientele to be students only? Make sure you take your ID cards from when you was at Newcastle Uni EDIT: Keeping my original review however I am appreciative of the kind gesture and clarification that I can still use my old student card. Don’t worry about the free round, although I really appreciate that. I have always loved Soho and will definitely be back again soon xx

£34 for 1 vodka and 2 malibu and cokes, plus a diet coke. Absolute rip off. £30 to get into a club that smells like spew and lynx africa, wasn't worth it, wouldn't recommend. Would give less stars if I could.

Bouncers are rude. Pre booked tables and would not let us in. Group of 12 and all had paid £16 each for tables and drinks and didn't even get to go in because they would not let our friend in who had turned 18 the day before. Will not be returning.

Had a cocktail , just seemed poor quality

Would give it 0 stars if I could, the drinks came in small plastic cups like you'd get at the doctors and weren't alcoholic at all, also you're looking at £8-£9 for one of these drinks

Went to watch England game and got told off for celebrating.

Loved it. Loved the staff. Loved the energy of the place! Best gaff in Newcastle

awful security and bouncers, so rude and other people felt the same. Lots of others turning away from the awful experience

£19 for two drinks don't mind that but took 20 minutes there was about 16 customers in .The coke in the vodka was flat and had no taste. If it's post mix you need it fixed.. Lemonade in the gin was like lemon water .

No observing of social distancing at all. Tables were sticky and when I asked if I could have it wiped down they just brought blue cloth over and handed it to me with no disinfectant or anything. Service really slow. Staff were nice enough though. But not a great place to go during covid....

Great vibe, cheap drinks, open until 4. What's not to love 😁

The worst pub ever we want with my friends on 31 mah 2021 11:30 but the security guy forced us to leave the pup with out any reason!cause our colour!!

The worst pup ever we want with another 4 my friends on 31 may 2021 11:30 but the security ask us to leave the pup without no reason cause of our colour.

You can always trust it. It's free, drinks not too expensive. The worst thing is that it's always full and on the stairs it usually smells very bad.

This experience was from last October. I spent my time and money here in freshers week. Just after going out the door I desperately needed the toilet so I asked the bouncer to please let me in, he refused and fobbed me off. A woman from the general public asked to go in for the toilet and they allowed her in. I explained to the bouncer that I have a medical condition that made this difficult for me, he just replied that “you should stay at home then”. Felt like posting this as this place is clearly not the place for those with hidden disabilities at all; you will just meet rude and power hungry bouncers who will make you feel like you can’t enjoy a nice night out!

Prices are extortionate, tables are tiny and all of the tables are on a slant, wouldn’t recommend anyone to go there

Very good! Nice staff quick and helpful and possibly lots of smile under the masks :)

Not amazing with covid restrictions

Manager Thomas was a legend, really helped us out when trying to get a sick friend out of the club 👍🏻

Always welcoming & they have really adapted to the new rules in a safe but still fun way. Night out atmosphere with a seat.. ideal really ❤

Had a table booked, but when I came 5 mins later they said they had a covid case... When we went to marker shaker they said that Soho Rooms was lying because they weren't busy

I was with the previous reviewer (Liam Barton) and can confirm everything in his review was true. We were waiting for a previously booked table for over an hour and we got kicked out because we complained. We eventually got let back in by the seemingly only competent and understanding member of staff who appeared to be in charge of the bar. The aggressive Scottish member of staff that had us kicked out by the bouncers really needs to review his attitude when dealing with customers. He got right in the face of my friend, which breaks social distancing protocol and was aggressive/threatening.

I booked a table for 11pm. We arrived on time but waited in queue as our table was not ready. A member of staff suggested we sat down while we waited. An hour had passed (now 12am) and we were still waiting outside in the freezing cold smoking area. I asked a member of the security staff who was overseeing the area if our table would be ready soon as we had waited an hour. He laughed in my face and claimed I was lying about waiting so long. The manager then walked by and the security staff member suggested to resolve my problem I should chase after the manager and speak to him. (Very unprofessional but I had no other choice). As I attempted to speak to the manager, the same member of staff who had seated us in the waiting area approached me. I informed him that we had waited an hour for a booked table and were still outside in the cold, yet other parties had came and gone inside while we had still been waiting. This member of staff then aggressively claimed I was not allowed inside as I was apparently rude to him. He shouted abuse at me, and accusing me of being on drugs. He eventually walked off shouting as he exited the area. This was very unexpected and unprovoked. Luckily the manager was close by and I was finally able to speak to a capable member of staff who could communicate in a calm manner without being threatening and unreasonable unlike the previous member of staff. I informed him about his aggressive employee and also about our situation of waiting for over an hour. The manager apologised for the actions of his employee and also apologised for the confusion in our waiting time(they had forgotten about us) and told me to bring my friends inside as there was a table ready for us. As I was about to inform my friends that we were able to go inside, the same rude member of staff confronted me and shouted right in my face aggressively that he should not be disrespected, and that he was going to make sure I never entered this establishment again because he had that power, he claimed. I was very confused but remained calm and did not once raise my voice or act in a hostile manner. I need to point out that the actions of the staff member broke social distancing laws as he was about an inch away from my face, shouting and spitting. I felt very scared and unsafe at this point as I had now been the victim twice of threatening and aggressive behaviour from the same member of staff. At this point a member of the security staff came over and even though I informed him that the manager had a table for me, he sided with the threatening member of staff and physically escorted me out of the area onto the street for no reason at all. This once again breaks social distancing as the security staff held onto me until I was off the premises, I did not resist whatsoever. There are three witnesses to the whole altercation who can prove I remained calm and that it was both members of staff who were aggressive and kicked me out for no reason. Once again I went around to the front of the establishment and informed the manager of what had happened, and how unfairly I had been treated by security staff and also by a member of club staff who was threatening and aggressive. The manager confirmed that I was allowed inside to the members of staff who had abused me previously, however there was no apology. We had one drink and then left as the evening had been ruined by the previous situation. Overall, the staff were incredibly poor at handling reservations, their aggressive handling of situations, and their overall poor level of professionalism. Including breaking social distancing laws twice for no reason other than to assault and intimidate me, abusing their positions of power. Urgent action needs to be taken to prevent further flagrant breaches to the social distancing laws; and also for the personal safety of future customers incase they are attacked and abused like myself. I feel that I have moral responsibility to report our experiences whilst on the Soho bar premises to Newcastle City Council and Northumbria Police.

Soho Rooms are quite well has got good music but I feel space is bit less rather than compared with other clubs nearby. Best part is Soho has another floor also on the 2nd floor which is also nice. It gives you free entry with your ID proof.

over priced and the drinks we got were nasty and wrong

FANTASTIC PLACE!....probably the best party in Europe. One place you must go to before you die.

Usually very busy if your not drunk it can be a bit disgusting with alcohol spilled everywhere and sweating people grouped like sardines on the limited dance floor

Smells bad, overcrowded, deadly stairs

Nice nightclub but can get overfilled due to its free entry

Fun if you're already drunk when u go in

Awesome pub only after 9 pm , most of the time it's for students only

Insanly racist. Zero respect to any one not english. Horrible.

Good for students, quite pretentious

Bouncers were horrible to me apart from one who took pity on me! I'd left my jacket upstairs and knew exactly where it was but they wouldn't let me back in because they were closing in ten minutes. There were still loads of people inside and these bouncers talked down to me and belittled me. Unfair and rude.

Busy venue with great music / drinks deals and atmosphere. The door staff are great as well and always helpful.

Should be closed down, I'm pretty sure there's ment to be a limit on how many people you let in, there must of been thousands of people in there when we visited, I was so desperate to get out and couldn't people kept piling in, I've had many nights outs and this 1 being the worst, I'll be passing this on to the local authoritys everything was recorded and noted

Awful atmosphere, bouncers are aggressive and unwelcoming, the crowd it attracts are just radgey students that will just go looking for a fight, only saving grace is floor 3, with the cheesey music.

Pricey drinks, but a good place to dance and go out

We went to Soho rooms for part of our night out for a hen party. The place is quite small, however it was a brilliant atmosphere, good priced drinks, polite bar staff. Downfall was the toilet facilities only being 2 so always people queuing up to use them and run out of toilet paper. Disliked climbing on all the stairs but if had to rate out of 5 would give 4/5. Would go back again :)

Music was alright but the place was kinda dingy, apparently there are 4 floors open on the busier days but we only got to see two. Didn't get much of a look at the drinks prices given we didn't stay long.

Bouncers let in too many people to the point that it is dangerous.

Forceful and hot-headed behaviour from bouncers/ door staff. The club is extremely overcrowded to the point it feels unsafe.
