The Cluny in Newcastle upon Tyne

Once we had paid, the man told us there is a 45 minute wait for the food but he should of said at the beginning because we had no choice but to wait.It ended up taking about 2 hours.There also is not many seats.

Great beers and cocktails and live music

Cracking little intimate venue. Parking was easy enough too

Very nice place to go for a meet up with friends. Lovely outside when sunny too.

Great gig, but the plastic cups spoiled what taste the craft ale might have had. Set on an old industrial building in a former industrial valley near the city centre and river Tyne. Ouseburn has a number of good pubs surrounding The Cluny.

Been here twice to see some live music. Very small gig room (can hold about 300 people) and it becomes hot very quick but still enjoyable! The drinks are on the pricier side but as to be expected. Overall good experience 🤩

Great little place to watch a band and if the weather is nice to sit outside!

Been going to the Cluny for years, team works their collective bum off to make it special, deffo worth a visit if you haven't been before.

A really cool vibrant spot for a quick drink before heading to the Moon Market. Really great space with friendly staff.

Always a great night at the Cluny. They have some great bands on! Loved An Dannsa Dub on Saturday!

Good atmosphere, they really like dogs 🐕

Homeboy sandman was amazing. First time for me at the Cluny. Great night

Great place for a drink and to see live music.

Wonderful place to go for a drink and watch a band

Sound establishment. Red stripe 👍.

Fantastic service and food. We ordered the Philly Steak sandwich and the Lone Star burger, absolutely delicious! A great place to stop for lunch.

Lush music, atmosphere and food and drink. Love it!

Great venue for music, good choice of drinks and brilliant atmosphere.

Good atmosphere great music nice beer

Popped In after our Victoria tunnel tour as you get 20% off food with your ticket, we had a fantastic posh hot dog with all the trimmings and skin on fries and a Philly cheeesteak on sour dough baguette and a glass of wine and a pint of beer . Food was good, very tasty and filling , the cheesesteak was soooooooo tasty . It was quiet for a Sunday afternoon but was clean and and staff seemed friendly. Overall pleased with the visit.

Cracking pub for venues would recommend to anyone

What a night with Bad Bob Bates and The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band!! Just the best! Will definitely be back to listen to more bands. Great night out!

What an absolutely amazing place. As a first time visit it was a bit maze like if you look around C2 as well with it's staircase but what a fantastic set up! Good selection if beers on cask and keg and a lovely looking pub. Then you go round the corner through what looks like a cupboard door and you are in a little music venue with it's own small bar. Brilliant atmosphere and absolutely loads going on, pretty much something every night. Absolute shining light for real ale and the music industry. (We saw Reverend Peyton and his Big Damn Band and they were superb.)

Best live music venue in Newcastle

Excellent venue in a great location, highly recommend

Food was excellent and piping hot

Have attended gigs at The Cluny many times, always great. Most recent gig was The Leisure Society. I didn't know when I bought the tickets that I would be bringing my friend who would have struggled to stand for the gig. I contacted the staff, they were very friendly and accommodating and made sure there was a seat for her. A small act, but done curteously, and really made her evening. Thank you.

Cluny 2. Great venue, this room was downstairs, and there is a lift for disabled access. The auditorium is split into floor seating and terraced at the rear so you can see the stage from everywhere. The sound was great and drunks were reasonably priced.

Always a friendly atmosphere and top notch draught selection. Food is naughty too. Recommended.

Great venue, small and a real buzz

At first I thought all of the staff seemed very nice and competent at there jobs, unfortunately this was not the case. There was a lady on the bar who seemed helpful, but a gentleman with a bald head, who was extremely rude and obnoxious began to chat to the lady on the bar and was extremely drunk. His body language was appalling and he looked like he worked there as he knew everyone and was going into the private areas of the venue. His attitude was just disgusting, he looked at me and this other guy at the bar like as though he owned the venue and looked down his nose at us. He was very rude and I hope he doesn’t work at the venue because he was just so unprofessional if he does.

Went here for a concert a while ago. I'm disabled and their accessibility is pretty good-- Not perfect (there was a small set of stairs between the standard pit and the bar / viewing platform so wheelchairs had to be at the front of the pit-- artists and staff did their best but there were a couple moments things had to be stopped for safety) but the view was pretty good which a lot of venues slack on. Concert itself was really fun. Pricing isn't too bad either. All I'd say is if wheelchairs are gonna be at the front of the pit, maybe there should be a cordoned off area to save them from being accidentally pushed into if the crowd moshes or gets really energetic. Another option could be a raised platform or a wheelchair accessible way up to the viewing platform/bar and toilets section in the concert bit. I did really enjoy the Cluny but would love to see more options for those in wheelchairs and such that were a little on the safer side.

We were there for a baby shower. Pleasant staff, clean toilets, good food

The City hall and Arena should take some lessons from this venue. They serve the best beer of any music venue I have been to and do it at a good price! They also serve really good food.

Its got everything you need, good beer, good bands and good people.

Good selection of drinks, good selection of bands at the gigs 😎

Great night really enjoyed the band beer and food really enjoyable would recommend

Great live music venue and good selection of ales.

We visited the Cluny during school holidays and they had a day drinking menu and a poster for fish and chips. On ordering we were told the fish and chips offer was only for the Easter weekend. However, some of our party ordered off the day drinking menu at a reduced price but found they were charged full price. When we challenged this we were told it was not available during school holidays. There was nothing on the menu to tell us this and member of staff got really angry that we should bring this up. They were really too lazy to take the offers off the menus and objected to being challenged about it. Disappointing service and no idea how to run a business. Shame as I like the Cluny.

Food was ok, but they had put 'day drinking' menu out giving reduced prices. Chose from this. Realised price was much higher than expected so asked. Lady behind the bar was incredibly rude. I merely queried the fact it was £40 instead of the expected £20 odd. One barmaid responded that she'd accidently put the wrong menus out and this menu was not on because of half term. I didn't have a problem with this but the other member of staff immediately became very aggressive and stated loudly "oh I'll refund it if it means that much to you". (I didn't ask for this I was just trying to alert them to the fact that they were advertising incorrect prices ). She brought the money and thrust it at me. When she brought the food she didn't bring cutlery or tell me where to get it, she was so clearly angry that I felt I could not approach her and had to wander round looking for cutlery etc rather than ask. She spent the rest of the time glaring at me which as really disconcerting and really effected the enjoyment of the meal! The place was fine but this particular member of staff really needs to consider her attitude. Poor customer service.

Very artisan area great to visit also nice walk around

Amazing food and staff. Great place to have a nice day!!

Hidden gem ,lovely location friendly staff ,great atmosphere, and a decent pint to boot

Great venue, great atmosphere, very friendly staff

It was a good night for the Lene Lovich Band.

Unprofessional barmaid. I was standing at the bar by myself when two grifters come along totally unaware I’m stood there (I’m not sure how) the barmaid then accidentally I believe serves the grifters, was unimpressed when this guy starts rattling off what drinks he would like rather than having manners by passing over to me, I abruptly let them both know I’ve been stood here in my apparent invisibility cloak. So I’m served next, this is an opportunity for the barmaid to apologise and all would be merry, no on the contrary, served with a sour face and dreadful customer service I’m painted the villain for holding her accountable for her incompetence. She needs to grow up and do better.

Always seems to promise interesting things on tap, and yet they always seem to be sold out. Feels like it tries to do too many things and doesn't quite stick any of them - gig venue, craft beer, food

Always a good night seeing bands at the Cluny. The food was nice too.

We had some food which was excellent and the venue was too the staff were all very approachable and helpful great night

First time in clean modern had tapas black pudding was fab

Awesome venue. Such a class place to see bands

Great venue for gigs in a great location. Good selection of beer but so are a bit pricey.

Had a great time at The Cluny seeing Crowbar and Inhuman Nature.

Excellent venue, superb food and great staff.

This was a heck of a place, went to see Holy Moly and the Crackers here. Great non alcohol options, excellent vibe and a mosh pit. The staff were great, all was safe and I loved the decor, this place is seriously cool. I felt so like I was part of the ‘in’ crowd.

Cool bar, wasn't too busy or loud on Friday night. Easy enough to get served and the staff were friendly. Good place to meet for a chat with friends.

Small music venue, great atmosphere and location.

Really great food. Really need to go see a band in there soon. Just wish they would say what type of music each act is as its not always obvious so need to look each band up to see if I would like there sound

One of our fave places for a fabulous night out.

Great coffee. Good food, but quite slow service.

Such a nice venue, good vibes, friendly staff

We were on Cluny 2 - nowhere near as good as Cluny I, eg the selection of beers was poor. However, the gig that we went to see, Buffalo Nichols, supported by a Sunderland blueser was very good Great atmosphere from the audience and the Milwaukee guitarist had great rapport with his audience

Great venue for live music. Intimate setting and great value. High class food and drink. Friendly and efficient staff. Looking forward to a return visit.

Great venue, nice staff, friendly atmosphere.

Great venue for live music. Good selection of beers too. Saw Pete Wylie and the Mighty Wah there last night. Great gig from a legend.

Saw Foxing at The Cluny. Fantastic venue, the sound quality is great, it's a perfect intimate gig. Foxing were, as expected, awesome!!! #TheCluny #Foxing

Great place for a gig. Plenty of beer selection. Nice to sit outside in the summer. The place that kick started everything good about Ouseburn. A little bit pricey but most places are nowadays.

Went see a band called devour a tribute to depeche mode place was lovely drinks prices reasonable for venue bar staff were friendly and happy and band were great only downside was with me being small I had to stand on stairwell to see as there was no room on balconies so my advice is if you are small try to get to the front to bag the best view other than that had a good night would recommend

Felt a bit uncomfortable at the amount of people inside

Great venue. The atmosphere is relaxed and they have a really good selection of bands there. It is important to support venues like this. They nurture a lot of talent

Great pub, great music venue and it’s right at the heart of the Ouseburn - Newcastle’s creative hub.

Great place for live music events.

Fantastic Bar staff tremendous Pre gig food was great Both bands terrific Always have a great time at the Cluny

Great music venue. Great for a beer as well

We popped in here on a Monday night for a pint, we ordered a chicken gyro and hot dog. The food was awesome, and a really nice selection of beer. Best chips I've had in ages 😂

This was my first visit. I came down for a gig and decided to get some food at the venue first. I was expecting just burgers and pizzas, but was pleasantly surprised to see a Greek lamb and orzo stew (sadly I've forgotten the name) on the menu. It was absolutely delicious and the lamb was wonderfully tender. The venue was a nice size for gigs, and I've no doubt I'll be down again to attend gigs here. Great beer selection in the main bar too.

First time visiting the Cluny for a Londons calling gig. A great venue with ample staff serving, so no long queues to get a drink. It was a fantastic night and a great venue for music. Highly recommend a visit

Fantastic live music, great food.

We follow The Men They Couldn't Hang to various venues around the Country, have done for over 35 years. We came to The Cluny to see them. WHAT a venue and night. An amazing place.

Great place staff are perfect mood is great. The food is spot on to and very dog friendly

Nice intimate venue, good range of craft beers and lovely burger and fries before the gig.

Nice food and drinks. Top music venue too.

Good food and beers, plenty of seating, organised bar service

Good beer and great venue for live music!

Came and had a bit food here with my son. Really good. Friendly french? Girl served us fairly quiet sort of jazz cafe thing going on. Haven't seen music here for a while but it's a good wee venue in a nice little suburb of the city

Everything we tried to order was not available. Wouldn't rush back.

Possibly the best bar in Newcastle to see smaller live bands. Great beer too ;)

Lovely little rustic music venue with a nice vibe. Tasty food, if a little pricey. Only real downside was the stroppy barmaid.

Just an all round feel good factor.

Great Venue for gigs, decent beer and great staff

Fantastic evening. Lovely food, belter booze and the band were class too!

We stopped going here as the food went down hill and overpriced However popped in tonight quick pint looked at snacks and tried the spring rolls cauliflower bombs Great price and food was spot on So we will see you again soon Lad was great at the bar win win

We have eaten here a lot and usually love the food but came to eat last night and the food was awful. The nachos costed £12 and were literally a basket of nachos with a bottle of buffalo sauce tipped on the top and one over cooked chopped up chicken strip with a few flakes of blue cheese. The blue cheese was not melted and when I asked for it to be melted the staff were rude and I heard a guy in the kitchen swearing about it. They bought it back and said the blue cheese doesn’t melt… not sure what kind of blue cheese doesn’t melt. When I took it back to the bar saying I didn’t want it because it was rubbish and not worth £12 the guy was rude and not apologetic at all. I could have made that meal for less than £1. My partners burger was also dry and the meal took about 45 minutes to arrive. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen. Such a shame because usually we love the food but definitely won’t be back. Rest of the bar staff were great and polite but the tall guy with long hair who I spoke to and who was rude in the kitchen was awful and couldn’t be bothered with any customer service. I’ve never left anywhere a bad review before but this was just crap and a waste of money.

Great venue with super range of beers.

What a venue the staff are so friendly the foooood is so god damn tasty my family came up from Scotland they couldn’t believe how awesome the place was next time they come up they want to go to a gig

Been to see one million bands here , totally fantastic little intimate venue, especially cluny2 . If your Fave bands on here your in for a treat..serves great beer too, but only upstairs.rubbish selection in Cluny 2.

Great venue, unfortunately the manager and some of the bar staff were really aggressive. My friend requested a song and the dj told her to f off. She complained to the bar staff and they told her that individual was actually the manager so nothing could be done. When it came to end of the night the staff were confrontational, aggressive and abusive. One to avoid if unless you want transcend back to the school playground.⁴

Not only was this an amazing venue for a show. Small and we'll laid out and friendly. But the day after we went back as my hubby lost his shirt at the show 🤦🏻‍♀️. The girl at the bar went above and beyond searching for the infamous blue Lonsdale t shirt. Reply appreciate what an awesome and wonderful bar with such amazing staff!

Whats not to like about the Cluny. Good food, great beer and a fantastic venue. Can't wait to see Jake Clemmons in November.

Fantastic food and Excellent Gig.
