The Collingwood Arms in Newcastle upon Tyne

A hidden gem I’d say, lovely staff and has a great atmosphere - lovely traditional pub. Good selection of beers including Murphys on draught!

Popped in for another pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord while out for walk and as usual not disappointed, cask beer excellence, recommend!

Visited for a few drinks. Friendly staff, good drinks choice, welcoming atmosphere. Feels like a country pub near the city centre.

Really nice pub. Still original and in great condition. Lovely pint. Great beer garden and nice cosy pub inside. Proper pub. Excellent! 👍🏻

Food van outside, amazing food but expensive, drinks cheap - quiz on Monday £2 per person. Lots of regular

went in after just moving to the area and was a really friendly atmosphere plus drinks were fairly priced and welcoming staff

Brilliant local pub with friendly staff. Also recommend their quiz on a Monday night :)

Great little pub, friendly staff

This has happened to me and a friend, asked for a pint of Moretti and saw the bar man start pouring Amstel. When I corrected him he claimed I said Amstel and was adamant and rude so I had to buy it. This has happened to me twice on separate occasions, watch out

Lovely pub, food smells amazing And the owners are very friendly and welcoming! People are so friendly in there also Have to say, It’s one of favourite places now !! I’d give you six stars if I could mate !

Just called in to see johnny coffee had a good chat great place will definitely go back

Went along to the Collingwood after hearing it had been reopened. First impressions was the warm welcome we received off Natalia when asked what would we like to drink. With a wide selections of cask and largers it was quiet hard to decide but Natalia offered us a yry of the real ales , and we opted for the HPA which was to say the least perfect. After we were seated we noticed food being taken to tables so we decided to take a look at the menu. It was steak night so we all opted for the steaks! Wow! They were cooked to perfection. This place is what a local pub should be liked. Traditional bar with good food and beer and great craic! When we were leaving Wayne the Landlord asked if all was okay, I can honestly say it was way better than okay. Well done such a delight to have a watering hole like this. Keep it up!

Good traditional pub with a fair choice of ale. However, food is hugely disappointing. Fish and chips special very small and batter burnt. Fish cakes heavy on potato and lacking in fish ingredients. Pub was busy but hardly anyone eating. Should have read the signs!

Nice little local... However, no drinks price list.. Which UNFAIR TRADING REGULATIONS 2008..state prices for food AND drink should be displayed. They have food menus but beer and wine prices are not displayed, customers are only aware when asked to pay.

Second time we've been back hear in last few months definitely worth the visit Food was gorgeous

Such a great place for a drink. I visit every time I visit family in Jesmond. Even under new management it’s still great.

Lovely place to be fair. First time visit. Easy to get to, looks impressive from the outside, and some nice history to read about on the boards hanging on the wall outside (Naval history obviously with the name). Inside..... Almost like a Tardis. So much bigger inside than it looks from outside. Friendly clientele, beer is good and not too expensive. Some big screens to watch sport on, I actually went in there to watch football (bonus). Didn't go there to eat, so I couldn't answer those questions, however, I did see food being brought out to customers and it looked very good. All in all, I will be going back as i thoroughly enjoyed myself. Top Pub and I really hope the new management do well, they seem to deserve it.

Wonderful to have the Collingwood open again. The new management are very proactive and have introduced a great menu with a fantastic chef. (The best chicken Kiev I’ve ever had). The beers are well kept and a great selection. I’ve been visiting this pub on and off for 50 years but I’ll be visiting more often from now on.

Great traditional pub with great food, quiz night, friendly staff and locals. Just what South Jesmond needs.

Three of us tried three different steaks during thursday steak night…can honestly say the best tasting and expertly cooked steaks outside of a michellin star kitchen. will be back. …. a lot!

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch, lovely relaxed atmosphere, great beer, wine and of course superb food. Sunday hospitality at its best. Dog friendly and roaring log fires. Couldn’t ask for more on a freezing cold day!

This pub is such a gem. It’s absolutely the best bar in Jesmond. Amazing pizzas freshly prepared. Great and varied beer selections by the pint. Very friendly and hospitable atmosphere extremely welcoming.

First time to the Collingwood arms ... And didn't realise it had new ownership by the way we were treated .so welcoming straight away , and attentive . We sat by the lit fire which was so traditional and quant . We had a glass of wine and really enjoyed catching up ..we decided to order some food as the menu was delightful I chose the pizza which was cooked beautifully , rustic and not greasy . I then had the sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream which I must say was one of the best I've had , will definitely be back again * and we'll done to the new owners doing such a fab job and will only get better look forward to seeing your journey ☺️

Really enjoyed returning to the Colly after it's sudden and unfortunate closure. The selection of ales was actually better than before and the staff were excellent. Not a fan of TVs in pubs, but I can see the need in this day and age when there's a big game on.

The Pub has reopened after the recent bereavement of the last owner and is under new ownership. All previous reviews are therefore out of date and irrelevant. The change happened in the last couple of weeks. The New tenants are busy trying to get the place up and running again and are making a good job of it. I do not generally dine there but the London Pride beer on draft was excellent. Clearly more reviews will be needed to give a fairer overall view but so far I found the staff friendly and helpful and prices of drinks fairly normal for Newcastle.

Make sure you give your registration to bar staff otherwise it’s a ticket/fine. Nice beer and good atmosphere bar staff very friendly and attentive.

Just moved to the area and decided to try the nearest watering hole - what a treat! Fabulous pint(s) of TT Landlord, lovely glass of Sauvignon blanc served by brilliant efficient staff, can’t wait to return.

Echoing a few reviews on here Old woman behind the bar needs lessons In customer experience/service Purchased a bottle of Pinot Grigio wine (bought from Aldi !!!). It tasted awful and warm. Took it back to complain to be told you chose it, we won’t exchange it you will just have to buy something else. No sorry …won’t be back . There are pubs in the area with much more pleasant staff to try. It’s a shame as wanted to support a local pub but will not return. An early evening/ end of the week drink should be a pleasure not an insult. Avoid.

As a new visitor be very wary of the car parking restrictions. We were caught out a week ago. There is a new system in place and a private car parking company have taken ownership of the parking spaces. These changes in the regulations are not clearly stated or noticeable when drinking outside (that it's necessary to leave your reg details at the bar). Very poor signage and no clear notification from the bar staff. We won't be visiting the pub again for this reason. We will also be appealing against the fine we were issued. An unfortunate implementation of a money making parking system. Very disappointing reflection on the bar ownership which has changed the character of what used to be a relaxing, friendly local bar.

Lovely pub, lovely people, best chicken wings 😍

Cracking Ale, lovely staff, food was also very nice. Will be back.

A legend of a pub nestled within the sleepy Jesmond neighbourhood, been drinking here since I was at school 40 years ago.......

UPDATE: I did not tell you it was a public car park I said I THoUGHT it was. You asked me to move and I did so stop making it sound like I was arguing about moving - I immediately said I would move! You were completely out of order in the way you spoke to me. I said I would move as I hadn’t realised where I was parked and you kept making an issue out of it. You asked me to move and when I did you walked in front of my car so of course I told you to get out of the way. You a rude and unpleasant person who caused an unpleasant situation for no reason at all. I was happily moving without issue but you clearly wanted to make an issue. Reading other reviews of your bar it is clear I’m not the only person who finds you rude and unpleasant. I stand by my review and I will not respond any further as clearly you are the kind of person who just like to argue and be unpleasant. I was sitting in my car outside the pub today doing a pick up and a woman came out asking me to move my car. I said yes I hadn’t realised I was parked where I shouldn’t be and would move. She was very rude and continued to complain at me. I told her there was no need for that as I was moving. I said I hadn’t realised it wasn’t a public car park to which she accused me of being stupid! There was absolutely no need for her horrible attitude and her rude and abusive manner towards me. I don’t even need to go inside this pub to know it’s not somewhere I would ever visit.

Went to the pub quiz a couple of weeks ago! Brilliant time 😊

Left about five reviews in my life but the attitude of the old woman with the bad hand tattoo behind the bar was enough for me to comment on. Lovely little boozer and used to come often when I was a student. My experience echoes all the other bad reviews on here; that the old woman behind the bar is still as sour as ever and enough to put you off going ever again. Young smiley lad with the lovely long hair is a gem though. Nice enough pub just wish it was in better hands.

Third time at this place and what a warm place with a warm welcome, the two young ladies I think it's Freda and Gemma made me feel so welcome after having a bad day it's just what was needed and the food 😀 is exceptional especially the jerk chicken wrap and chilli fries from Justin, go, chill, relax and enjoy the company and banter, you won't regret it.

Very nice quiet pub with plenty of character.

Nice pint of London's pride and very friendly staff

If you enjoy being treated like a customer rather than a complete inconvenience, you must avoid this place. For some reason, they really don't like visitors in this pub and are very rude on every single occasion we have been, as well as online. Furthermore, this place is not family friendly and the food is only served when the kitchen can be bothered. They stop serving food at 7:30PM apparently, so don't go here if you want dinner. It's safe to say we will not be returning, ever.

UPDATE: The embarrassing reply from the owner tells you everything you need to know about this place. Oh and just so anyone who is thinking about eating at this place, they close the kitchen whenever they want and get tetchy with you when you ask them. Go to one of the brilliant pubs on Osborne Road instead! Could be such a lovely pub, but sadly the attitude and rudeness of the staff and owners make it a far from enjoyable place to be. They seem to be proud of being rude, which is probably why it’s dead on a Saturday. We’ve been loads in the past and looked over this because of the surroundings, but this is the last time.

Simply brilliant! Used to frequent some 10-15yrs ago and after moving back to the area popped in recently. The superpower of The Colly is the staff! So friendly and welcoming, if you’re after a proper drink in a proper pub you’ll hit the jackpot here.

Beautiful pub with friendly staff and amazing food

Absolutely lovely but very pricey

We parked in the car park, as I have done on rare occasions for the last 30 years. We had a couple of pints with friends. It was okay, kind of empty as ever. On leaving the landlady announced that our car was on camera and we'd not given her our registration plate with a view to not being fined by a parasitical parking company. We would be fined for having parked in the pub car park. When mentioning that this did not seem right the woman got very excited and pointed - stabbed with her finger - at a sign above the bar. I don't tend to look above the bar when entering a pub. I look for what's on tap and a smile & hello from the server. £60 fine. I'm never going back.

Great pint of Murphy's which is rare outside of Ireland. Lovely pub. Roaring fire and a friendly welcome. It's my new local. The food offering looks terrific too.

About 30 years since last visit hasn't changed much. Good cider ok staff yeah still the same

It is said to be one of Newcastle's oldest pubs

Incredible quiz every Monday at 8.30

A very welcoming atmosphere. Friendly fellow customers & a very nice lady behind the bar. Tops for service and choice of beverages. I was very impressed with the amount of different malts behind the bar, all top quality. I should know, I work for a drinks wholesaler who carries a vast menu of malts. Will visit again next time I am in Newcastle.

Recommended. It is great. Bit squirreled away but if you can find it well worth a visit for nice beer and ambience.

Nice chilled traditional pub, decent outdoor seating area and canny selection of boardgames to choose from!

Nice Pub! Clean, great ambiance, good beers on tap. We didn't eat anything but the beer was cold and we truly enjoyed it.

Tried the Chineses Blueberry chicken off the IZ Lupitas menu at the Colly last Night (Monday) and enjoyed the sauce very much. Only a hint of spice and the sauce a little sweet but very good. My favourite now. Thank you to the kitchen.

Wonderful pub. Great Beer. Traditional pub. Proper people...no woke, pc or loony left. I'll be back in tomorrow.

Nice local friendly pub , no students good beer

Nice little pub, out of the way of the bustle, only been a couple of times, but liked it, atmosphere is good, would happily go again. 👍

What a hidden gem. Great beer, amazing staff and the Lupitas pop up menu is ridiculously good. Can't wait to go back again

Great place. Good atmosphere and beer. Price slightly more than usual but worth it.

Group of me and my friends came as playing pub golf, completely peaceful and not disturbing other customers. Entered the pub without causing a disturbance and completely turned away RUDELY by the barman, even though we were willing to bring our business and was only a group of 6 of us. Treated inappropriately and very upset with this.

Went in many years ago and was underwhelmed by the flat beer and flat atmosphere. Today I was interested to see they've added a pretty rude landlady to the line up. Great work.

Every pub should have rummikub!

Nice pub, good location and a good pint of Landlord, will have to go back

Lovely old pub, love drinking here.

This is a proper pub with a seafaring vibe. Outdoor tables too. Lots of atmosphere.

Gear bar, great beer, great staff.

A great cosy pub, I love coming here.

Great little pub . Fantastic staff and some nice street food on Tues and a good quiz on a Monday

Great traditional pub with free parking

Great little pub tucked out of the way just of Osbourne Road but away from all the madness. A great local. 👍

Great pub, nice beer well kept, friendly staff. Also dog friendly.

Good selection of beers and wines

Cutest little neighborhood pub, off the beaten path

Enjoyed this place, very friendly staff, good ale, good prices, what more would you want?

Interesting to read that others also had similar experiences of this pub not being very child friendly. We came on a Tuesday night for tacos and a quick drink with friends after work. Tacos provided by Good Times Tacos and we’re excellent. The pub itself is nice enough and drinks are ok but we were made to feel quite awkward for bringing our 4 month old baby. We haven’t been able to go out much since having our baby and we’re really looking forward to seeing our friends and we’re planning to stay at the pub until 19.30ish before heading home to put our baby to bed. When we arrived we were instantly told off quite abruptly for parking our stroller next to our table as this was apparently we’re the manager occasionally likes to walk through. We were then informed that we would only be allowed to stay until 7PM as the pub did not allow children after this time. At exactly 7PM when we were just finishing out drinks it was then loudly announced to the whole pub that it was now 7PM and we therefore needed to leave immediately. Just made the situation quite awkward for everyone really! Shame as the tacos are lovely but would avoid in future due to being quite unwelcoming to families and children in particular. Would recommend the Punch Bowl instead…they are very child friendly!

Great 19th century appearance pub. When there is lots of gloss and sheen to bar culture now being able to go to a proper pub with wood beams, sturdy wooden furniture and a good atmosphere is really great. Also its dog friendly which is a plus.

Lovely traditional bar,prices not bad

Limited choice, rather abrupt service - but a decent pint of Landlord.

First time visiting, staff were fantastic and great banter! Definitely be back next time I’m up that way!

Friendly staff, quick service, good beer

Really lovely pub with outdoor seating and very friendly staff. They even brought some milk for my toddler for free, will definitely be back!

Landlady takes pride in the appearance with much floral presentation.

A lovely pub... staff were fantastic and friendly...my first time there aswell....highly recommended 👍👍

Fantastic Beer and great service x

Lovely pub in Jesmond away from the commercialised Osbourne Rd. Good selection of ales, lagers and spirits, friendly staff. ( Food available, but I have not eaten there yet)

Cosy, good beer, shows rugby 6 Nations

Decent proper pub vibe. Good events on during the week.

One of the Best kept secrets in Newcastle upon Tyne

Great local. Friendly staff. Good ale.

Great food, friendly service, comfortable chairs.

Small but cosy traditional pub. Pleasant atmosphere and decent selection of beer.

A really good selection of real ales.

Nice pub tucked away in Jesmond. Have a few ales on tap and great to sit outside in the summer.

Rightly busier then it used to be (but not too busy) and food more gastro than I need it to be. The beers decent and the staff and locals are nice. It's also in a quiet spot which gives it a different and more special feel.

Good selection of real ales. Well worth finding. Off the beaten track a little.

Great choice of real ales. Only complaint would be £3.50+ a pint whereas we pay £2.20 for a pint of London Pride! How these rich northerners afford a night out?

Cosy quiet pub, decent selection of beers wines and cider. Board games available. Dog friendly and outside seating available among plenteous flower baskets and tubs. Service a bit slow though and prices on toppy side.

Very traditional, cosy, relaxing pub. The beers were excellent without exception - wainwrights ale, landlord and deuchars IPA. Great for quiet chats, working out of home etc.

Lovely, cosy place with some great beers which are superbly kept. Always clean and friendly. For some reason, nowhere near as busy as it should be on a Saturday night. A few (okay quite a few, before some young lad fresh from Northumbria Uni ruined it), it was a much more convivial busy place. What the hell - I love it anyhow

Always been a great pub. Miss it living down in Liverpool

Real local pub feel. Excellent range of beers.
