The Bear and Barrel in Newcastle upon Tyne

Apart from some ambient music this compact pub is all about catching up with friends. No football, no loud music, just a chance to have a drink and a natter. If you want a really lively pub go to the Toon, otherwise I would highly recommend this place for friendliness and general clientele.

Great local micro pub. Coffee's and a snack, or alcohol. Great place to meet friends.

Lovely to have somewhere local to have a drink.

The best place for a few drinks, food and friendly service. All staff are really friendly and helpful.

Lovely busy pub. Would highly recommend

Nice place, lad behind the bar was friendly and helpful, toastie was lovely, cant help but think the location lets it down, could do so much better if it wasnt located in a run down shopping precinct

Excellent local cafe/bar and a real asset to the estate Visit on a Friday lunchtime and it is always busy. Scones and toasties as well as coffee are spot on and service is excellent Return on an evening and there is a brilliant atmosphere with good selection of well kept beers featuring local brewers as well as craft beers and wines and spirits. Good for just a drink or a pre meal drink before visiting the Raj Bari, Clay Oven or Chapel House Chippy. Staff are brilliant and friendly Music on a Sunday afternoon you need to get there early as it is so popular. Just an excellent local bar. Dog friendly too. Just need to give the breakfasts a go!

Enjoyed a couple of drinks on Wednesday night Music a little loud

Love this dog friendly pub. Food until 3 and scones or toasties after that. Bar snacks available. Lovely owner. Beautiful decor. Hidden gem.

Pint was fresh and cold, place very clean also modern and aesthetically pleasing environment, always looks busy on an evening when passing so can imagine it’s hard to get a table, luckily it’s quiet lunch time on a Friday, peaceful pint at a fair price, can’t ask for much more. Will be back to try the food next time as the menu looks damn good 👏

Nice friendly micro pub, well worth the visit

Lovely food, always friendly service. Would highly recommend 👌 xxx

Nice atmosphere pleasant staff, good food and coffee

Great little bar. Always friendly staff.

Beautiful place very friendly staff 👌

Great atmosphere, lovely surroundings

Super cute, came in for some hot chocolates and coffees this afternoon and was so impressed by the cleanliness/atmosphere/friendliness of the staff :) and the drinks were very tasty too of course! I don’t live in the area anymore but I wish I did as I’d be a regular here 🥰

It's a lovely place and the staffs are very friendly

Lovely food and coffees. The staff were very accommodating and went out to get me gluten free bread to have with my all day breakfast. Would definitely like to return for drinks. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Excellent place for catching up with friends - always a friendly welcome 🥂🙂

First time in and very glad I went. More than just a micro pub, also serves food, coffee, tea, scones and soon opening for breakfast. Get yourself along if you live near, It's a great edition to the area. Meet new people, drink new beer.

Can’t see why a pint of morretti costs £5.20 and a half is £2.70 Which is £0.20 more please explain the bear and barrel pricing

Went on new year's eve what a brilliant night we had entertainment wastop notch food brilliant and the hosts were great will be back next year if we don't go away

First time but what a find lovely little pub live music on a sunday 4pm till 6pm would love to go Nye but fully booked but they have taken our number I case anything changes fingers crossed

Great atmosphere and a lovely full English breakfast. Staff were really friendly too.

I love this place, very friendly, relaxed, nice decor, a fabulous place to catch up with friends through the day and they serve the best coffee and fabulous cheese scones. I’ve not had a meal here yet but what I’ve seen being served looks amazing! Sunday’s they have live music from 4-6pm, there’s always a good turn out and it’s always been a great night. No food on a Sunday evening but there’s a lovely Indian restaurant next door for anyone wanting to making a night of it.

A fantastic addition to the area. The decor and ambience are fantastic and welcoming. Very cheerful and friendly staff. Great selection of drinks and the food is top notch too.

Great atmosphere....worth a visit.

Staff very friendly, relaxing atmosphere

Cracking little bar in the middle.of a little estate.

A nice little spot to pop in for a quick drink. It was snug and quite lively, which was j expected on a Thursday night. Friendly staff and a good drinks selection. Definitely recommended

Smallish micropub. So far it's ticking many boxes.

Lovely community cafe pub, tasty menu for meals, snack and sweets

What a lovely little bar/cafe, very friendly staff, tables cleaned as soon as they are vacated. Nice atmosphere with unusually un annoying customers, tried a few nibbles, will definitely be back to try more. Shame about the view out the window but it is where it is.

Just called in for a swifty. Very impressed. Lovely welcome, great decor and, tho I didn't try it, a cracking menu

So amazing to have this little gem on our doorstep… special memories to be made is this little gem thank you 🙏

Fab place great staff just what the area needed. Been in a few times now can’t wait to go back

Finally got around to checking out the newest micro bar in our area. Having something close by (live in East Denton) so only a small walk. Staff were lovely, got to check out the menu & we will be back to work our way around it! Plus we look forward to a cheeky trip for breakfast as well. Great ale selection, and lovely atmosphere. Really liked the decor as well.

Great little Micro Bar. Lovely staff, good food 👌 I will be visiting Saturday 1pm for a few Moretti beers 🍻 and food.

Very good enjoy going and having a drink on its first day of being open

Had a great night there a few months ago, cracking host !!!!!!
