Great little pub on Gosforth high st. Plenty of choice of beers, lagers and spirits at great prices. Great for watching football and horse racing on multiple TVs. Pool table and good jukebox when no football on.lol Staff/ owner are excellent and polite and friendly. Customers are very friendly and enjoy a good crack. Highly recommended, unless you sunderland supporter. Lol Thanks Alan

The BLACKSMITHS used to be FAB - Bands on etc! It is now simply a bar that is NOT WORTH A VISIT. Last orders 10 30 - unless your in the know. No atmosphere at all - so sad that this Gr8 bar in the past is just a drop out bar, came our early in the rain rather than watch the pessimistic outlook of the bar. been going for years but NEVER AGAIN. No welcome at all - 3 ladies been visiting for years to gosforth hugh street!

The Blacksmiths Arms is a proper local pub on the High street in Gosforth that offer's a decent range of well priced beers. Located in a lively area of Newcastle were there are some excellent pubs'this brilliant pub has an open-plan Interior with superb seating options.With a traditional look and feel a pool table and friendly staff and well kept beer's the Blacksmiths Arms is without doubt one of the best local pubs we visited on a six day city break to Newcastle. When we went here in the evening this pub was rather lively with a nice atmosphere in here and when here we had a Guinness an excellent choice as it was perfectly served and well priced. The Blacksmiths Arms are the pubs we like to visit as they are traditional boozers with bags of character and serve decent beers that are well priced.So easy to locate from Brandling Arms bus stop its just a couple of minute's walk.(This is my first review of the Blacksmiths Arms ). Opening Hours. Monday-Saturday-11.00-23.00. Sunday-12.00-23.00. Nearest Bus Stop. Brandling Arms bus stop. Nearest Metro Stop. South Gosforth metro stop.

My twin brother Stephen and I decided to jump the tram to Gosforth and visit some of the great pubs in this area of Newcastle Upon Tyne and The Blacksmiths Arms Pub was one of the best pubs we visited. A traditional pub,a solid wood serving bar dominates the main room, pubby decor and furnishings, tv's to enjoy the sport and plenty of seating options spread throughout this pub, a totally relaxing pub. We were here on a Wednesday evening, we ordered a beer at the bar and luckily managed to get a table in this very popular pub were we just kicked back, chilled out and took in the great pub we were in. My beer was really good, a light, hoppy and unpretentious lager style beer bursting with taste, very easy to drink,on a hot evening a totally refreshing brew. We really enjoyed our beers in here, only stayed for the one each before moving on and for a first time visit to The Blacksmiths Arms Pub we had a great time. The Blacksmiths Arms Pub is easy to locate along High Street Opening hours are ; Monday to Sunday, 11am till 11pm. A wonderful traditional pub,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Fantastic offer of 2 for £12 5pm-9pm Sun-Fri. We popped in here for a quick drink before a show in City Hall. Great value with the special as it is on all cocktails and they don't have to be the same. Amazing cocktails too, also really enjoyed the decor, service was friendly and quick. Would definitely have revisited if my stay in the city was longer.

Dreadful and disappointing. We are frequent customers bringing both business colleagues , employees and family for networking and celebrations. On this occasion it was to celebrate my wife's birthday together with our 2 children ( in their 30s) and we do this every year this week. Last year we were allocated the most ridiculous small round table only suitable for 2 diners. I made my feelings known however this fell on deaf ears by the tall bald manager who didn't seem to care. So this year I specifically booked over 4 weeks ago and requested to have a larger table on the upper floor. We always make a special day of it having a bottle of Lauren perrier and a dozen oysters to start, a 3 courcs meal, wine and cocktails so the postage stamp of a table is impossible. Anyway satisfied that I had booked a proper and suitable table on this occasion we were looking forward to the day. However on arrival the very same tall bald fella began to show us to the VERY SAME tiny table we had last time!!, on telling him what I had booked and expected he just shrugged his shoulders and told me we could not go upstairs and that is all they had. I expressed my dissatisfaction politely and was then offered a bigger table however this was in the middle of the bar area and right next to the entrance door. Subsequently we had to concede to have the tiny 2 seater table for the 4 of us and make the best of a bad job. This is where the fun began as we had to completely clear the table putting condiments, bottles etc on the floor so we could fit plates of food on the table ( inc our champagne bucket which subsequently got knocked over spilling a quarter of a bottle over the carpet). Madness!!!. The food was generally OK, however EVERY one of the oysters had grit and bits of shell in them. We did not bother with desert as we were all so deflated at this point. We paid the bill(gave our server a generous cash tip as she did her very best to cheer us up) and left for more drinks elsewhere. We will never be returning in any capacity. BAR LUGA sort yourself out otherwise you will be losing many more customers in these challenging times.
