The Cumberland Arms in Newcastle upon Tyne - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Called in for afternoon drinks with family and friends. Sat outside on this occasion as the weather was glorious. A great place for drinks and a friendly atmosphere.

Fab-u-lous music Fantastic beer!

i support the banning of the gender critical, anti trans activist and candidate for the party of women, liz panton. there is just no place for hate at the cumberland arms. the cumberland arms strength is that it is a broad church which serves a very diverse community. i appreciate how difficult that is to manage. when the church membership includes people who are actively campaigning for the erasure of an already vulnerable minority who are also part of this community, silence is not an option. panton is a bigot who feeds prejudice and fear with misinformation and hate speech. she is not protecting women by endangering transgender and non binary people and by the pitifully small numbers who voted for her as an anti trans candidate her hate is thankfully, overwhelmingly, unsupported by the general public. panton endangers the safety and well being of my community and the people i love. while panton is still welcome in the cumberland arms i do not believe this venue is a safe space for members of the lgbtq+ community or their friends families and allies.

Rude arrogant staff ruined a great pub

Great unspoilt pub, great real ales, keg/craft beers a bit pricey, but the place to sit and be able to chat.

It remains one of my favourite ever pubs. Wonderful selection of cask and keg ales, a most gorgeous couple of bars, and plenty space outside if the sun comes out.

Always an excellent place for a spot of day-drinking in the sun with a great selection of drinks from a mix of breweries.

Could do with a hand rails on the staircase. Staff helpful .

Lovely pub and friendly staff! I went to watch The Suggestibles and that was a great experience. As the reviews suggest, I'll come back for live music.

Just what you want from a pub. Somewhere warm to sit while beers are available

The very best bar anywhere in the world as full of character with fine wines and ales and music events and sword dancing the night I was there. Spectacular garden full of herbs and with a great view and steps down to other nearby venues. Don't walk passed this pub you'll be missing out big time. Lovely burning hot fire and books and games. Hot drinks also wow they've thought of everything here Paul

This is an iconic place, and long may it continue. Great beer and craik. Lovely in the summertime. Up on hill, looking down on Ouseburn below. Class 👌

A great traditional pub serving mostly local ales with a gig space upstairs. Thoroughly recommend if you're in the area

Fantastic wee gig venue with nice ales. Loved it.

A bit shabby and small and quite difficult to find. Didn't try the food so can't comment. Pretty good place for gigs although when I visited there were problems with the sound

Great comedy night... Thoroughly recommend

Great atmosphere - wonderful music pub!

Well it used to be totally cool but now you've got junior hitlers over policing the place and ensuring folks don't enjoy themselves too much, shame. To repeat another reviewers comments "the band were warm and welcoming but the staff were arrogant and rude", bevis frond detonated tho

Very friendly attentive customer service, went the extra mile checking out Wheat Free option beers, for my partner. Thank you 💜

This is a terrific place for beer etc, music and conviviality. I've only been once, and I live in Bedford, so I can just recommend it without any real chance of seeing you there.

Excellent start to our day out. Great beer, £4 per pint, it got a lot dearer🤣. Super bar staff, friendly customers. Just a smashing traditional bar.

Great quirky pub. Beer is really good and it has a nice atmosphere. It's tucked away too and on a dry day it's really nice to sit outside.

Not slick or modern, but full of atmosphere.

Great atmosphere! Spit & sawdust sort of place with exciting entertainment.

Steve Ignorant's Slice of Life gig was class last night ✌️

I'm a squad of workers "big squad " In the Ouseburn area. 2 of us were asked to try this place out as we are here for 3 weeks. Honestly if anyone watches movies I really thought I had took the wrong turn. The customer service was absolutely zero. I tried 3 times to make conversations. We paid for our drinks out of courtesy but left them outside and made a hasty retreat.. must be close friends giving good reviews. Not how I would run a nice traditional pup.

I didn't eat here but came for some drinks and a gig. It's a beautiful building and was really friendly with a great atmosphere. I especially appreciated thoughtful touches like communal suncream on a hot day, and the signs clearly explaining what toilet facilities were available. Great selection of interesting and delicious drinks too.

Good ales on offer, good service and atmosphere.

A pub full of character and characters. Great range of drinks and friendly staff.

Quirky and a bit off the track but some good beers and relaxing

Great atmosphere, great night, great food, great company, great drink, great time had by all, would highly recommend.

Great place to visit, good selection of beers

Great pub! Sometimes lively and live entertainment on, other times quiet and great place to chill 😎function room for hire upstairs.

Nice little pub, have been a few times over the years for gigs. Staff are friendly and always a decent selection of beers etc to try

Apart from being my local, Hurrah, I'd travel here for the beer, the views, the live music, the weekend events and the lovely people. One of the best pubs in the world!!!

Great beers, good vibe, great atmosphere

Friendly welcome, great wine & music!

Such a cute and lovely pub, always great beers on tap and great events programme on too

Kind of well hidden, but very much worth seeking out. Stupendous range of beers, a real proper old pub interior, and an excellent outdoor area. Just brilliant.

Two delicious pints of cask ale.

Good atmosphere and really friendly, homely sort of place

Great place to have a few drinks and for live music like the fiddles downstairs or bigger gigs upstairs!

Great fringy style venue. Warm comforting and very friendly. Some great little investments and events.

Proper old pub with creaky floors...as they should be with a range of artisan beers. Hood atmosphere

Great pub, friendly staff, lots of character and a great choice of beer.

Usually a warm welcome... But not always. Some of the staff seem to have split personalities!

Great atmosphere and good drink selection.

Played a gig here. Such a great place to play, atmosphere is superb, so chilled and unpretentious. One of my favourite pubs in Newcastle

Drinks were nice and not too expensive, and I met a lot of very lovely people

Always been a great bar. Still is. Friendly and inclusive.

Great place to stay. Breakfast in your room makes it very special xxxx

Brilliant venue. Live music is great.

Great friendly pub. Really nice atmosphere. Good little venue for live music. Staff are polite, friendly, cheerful and will do anything for you. Fully recommended

Only problem here is can rarely find a seat

Great pub. Good selection of beers. Really good music venue upstairs. Get yourselves down there.

A fantastic pub with a great selection of drinks, also has really fun events going on

One of my favourite pubs, it has such a lovely peaceful feel and a great beer selection full of local ales.

Nicely situated good views nice walk up to it good beer

It was alright I guess, bit cramped in there and they need to sort the gents toilets out. Smells like something died in there.

Wow! We are delighted to have discovered this lovely venue tonight when we saw The Jackie Oates Trio. Great intimate setting, gorgeous range of delicious beer, friendly staff....we will definitely be back!!

Real proper old pub. Keep it going and don't change anything, great to see that there are some still around

Great vibes, never seen any trouble here

Fabulous, cozy pub with good drink and loads of character. Live music.

Great pub with lots of history.

One of the best pubs in Tynemouth. Great beer and food. Limited seating in bar area and outside tables now ruined by the addition of a standing area. Much better places in Tynemouth if you wish to be outside.

A great pub and a must visit for beer, music and pub fans.

Amazing selection of beers, cozy interior and there was free live music playing

We visited here for my small stag party, i found the drinks very nice with lots of choice and very bespoke. The outside area is large and off the beaten track. Excellent pub, service and very friendly customers.

What a wee gem of a place. We held a small gathering last week to celebrate my aunts life. Simon - looked after us really well. Nothing was a problem. Lots of different keg & cask beers to choose from. Proper old school pub with a fantastic atmosphere. We had the back room to ourselves during the afternoon and later on in the evening the fiddles and guitars started appearing; this wasn’t a problem as we were outside in the gorgeous beer garden. What a lovely day. Thank you so much for helping us make this happen.

Cracking little pub in Byker. Went for a gig and was delighted to witness some wonderful folk music outside beforehand. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Not the sort of place to go alone. No one talks when your on your own. Didn't feel very friendly. A bit clique-lsh

Like a pub from 1961 or there abouts.

One of my favourite pubs in Newcastle.

Wide range of ales available at this pub in the Ouesburn valley

Proper local pub feel in the town.

Amazing old school pub....a lob time favourite. Great selection of keg n cask. Friendly staff, great area for sitting outside and lots of music events

Arguably one of the best pubs in the North East. Great laid back atmosphere. Lots of space outside at the front overlooking the Lower Ouseburn valley. Cosy two room inside with real fire in the winter and loads of folk evenings in the other bar. Great small venue at the back/ upstairs. Always a good selection of cask ales and real ciders. All in all a great pub.

Good selection of beers and great atmosphere

I would normally give the Cumby a miss coz it gets real crooded.. but i popped in ont way home for a couple while the sun was out & it was tremendous & nice to be able to have a proper look round... If ya in the Ouseburn area give it a go.. you won't be disappointed

Great pub with a good range of beers, also great venue upstairs

Very relaxed atmosphere and a good range of real ales.

Classic wet pub. Excellent selection of ales, no frills. An absolute gem hidden away in Byker less than a mile from from the Tyneside waterfront.

Love this pub excellent beer excellent atmosphere would highly recommend 😁

First time visit on a Saturday night and liked the atmosphere and the wide selection of good beers. 18 months on its still a great informal pub with great beer selection and dog friendly approach.

Alas, there were no scotch eggs, but the beer and company were wonderful.

Nice old school pub good ale Good staff

Fanastic selection of drinks and the best smelling bar in the world due to the wood fire! Will be back

Absolute hidden gem! Great outdoor area too, perfect for summer

Have visited this pub many times over the past 20 years. Pub of great character and and clientele. A good range of real ales although some are quite pricy!!! 🤠

Potentially Newcastles best pub. It's perfect.

One of the best beer bars in Newcastle

Great beers and great atmosphere

Great pub with a good selection of beers and ales

This place fell out of favour, staff changes, weird food choices, obnoxious groups taking over all the space. Maybe also suffering from newer venues starting up close by. Hopefully the owners have understood trying to be all things to all people doesn't work, stick to what you did best, good ale and cider....and bring back the nachos!!!!!

Great beer and service. Lovely pub

Top Draw heritage pub very characterful four real ales. Highly Recommended

Lovely pub with great bar staff and beer and surroundings

Great ale! Also superb live venue.

Cracking place! Occasional dancers, occasional live music. The outdoor space is fantastic in the summer and at bonfire night. Great beer, always local ales on tap. Local musicians meet up here to jam. A must visit pub

Great pub, solid beer choice and in the winter a brilliant open fire to enjoy
