The Cluny in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great venue great music Amazing food and the best staff in town - go chill and enjoy

Great venue with a fantastic atmosphere.

Went to see the band The crash test dummies there last week. Venue was small but nice!

Saw the Crash Test Dummies. Simply brilliant 👌🏻

One of the best music venues I have ever been in - a bit cramped when it’s full, but just brilliant overall

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.

Took ages for the food to come out. Took almost 2 hours and only told us it would take that long after we had paid so we had to eat there. There wasn’t much seating either, thank you x

Great venue. A few disabled parking spots close by. A lift or stairs in the venue. Good prices on drinks. Lovely friendly helpful staff.

awesome place to be people nice and friendly 😊

Excellent smaller music venue, good beer and good food in public bar.

Great music venue that also serves excellent food and a good choice of beers

Awesome night, great atmosphere, great place. Yous knows it!

I've been here for many music gigs. Top venue with top acts. Staff are friendly, and the beer selection is great.

It's a popular music venue for music from many different genres. Great beer selection, but the food was disappointing

Brilliant venue, warm and inviting staff, the food was delicious and the gig was amazing!

Great venue, reasonably priced drinks too. Been here a few times and always a good, well managed night

Always a good night but drinks are to expensive as you can't leave

Great pub/venue. Well worth a visit.

Great little venue with excellent choice of beers.

One of my favourite music venues. Good choice of beers and always a good atmosphere

Really enjoyed seeing China Crisis last night

I'm mixed based on my two visits, both to Cluny 2. I really like the artists that come to this venue and it's great they book such a variety of performers. I wish that the venue was much more pleasant. It is an underground basement with bathrooms that reek of ammonia. The staff talked loudly throughout the last performance I went to which I found pretty disrespectful to the artist and also very distracting. Also the decision to have seating besides a few benches in the very back seems to be completely random, so plan to stand for 3-4h if you attend. There was a performer today I wanted to see at Cluny 2, but I decided to stay home because I didn't want to risk spending a night crammed underground overheating and standing for 3.5h. I'm going to see a show at Cluny 1 in a few weeks and hopefully that will be a more pleasant experience.

Great venue for both music and beer

Always ace wether performing or watching. Great coffee too.

Brillant charlotte forman fantastic singer such a Great night.

Wonderful venue, excellent for music and a great bar upstairs.

Great food Great beer A cracking venue for music

Young lass with an attitude behind the bar

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 👍.

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

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

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 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.)

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!

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.

Very artisan area great to visit also nice walk around

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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
