The Hancock in Newcastle upon Tyne

Cracking pub. Can be expensive compared to your spoonses but its about right for the toon. Pool tables upstairs and plenty tellies for matches

Top food, always a winner for me

One of my favourite places in Newcastle for drinks - happy hour deals are great and the most friendly staff. Here every Fridays for after work drinks and we all love it.

Easily the best casual drink in Newcastle, good prices, ambience and friendly staff. Classic pub grub, affordable and delicious!

I was very disappointed on my last visit to witness a confrontation where the manager deciding to escalate to violence against a black man. There was a confrontation happening, the member of the public was drunk but in no way being aggressive. The manager chose to smash the glass out of his hand, and start a fight. I have video footage of the manager smirking during the altercation. It became a spectacle that was cheered on by other drunk (all white) members of the public. It would be great if staff training could be reviewed to ensure that staff remain professional and de-escalating protocols are followed.

fantastic student pub with great everyday deals and a lovely beer garden

Lovely place with great customer service and a lush atmosphere

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is always lovely too!

10/10 student bar, cheap drinks during happy hour, keeps us very happy

Absolutely fab night, Jackson behind the bar took such good care of us

Staff are absolutely amazing! Caring and are happy to help.

Had a lovely time at the Hancock. Good food, good drinks and the staff were friendly and attentive

As a regular, the only pub you need to go to in Newcastle, food, service, and vibe is unmatched

Fantastic boozer as always, top for watching the games. Burgers were great stuff tonight

I usually come here often but the past 3 or 4 times I’ve had really bad experiences with the staff. They have been really rude and patronising without cause. I was honestly shocked by it, having worked in hospitality before I’d never speak to customers the way myself and my friends have been for no reason. It’s disappointing as I like the atmosphere in here but suffers from a case of bad customer service.

I’ve always received lovely service from the staff who are very friendly and happy to help. The food is good value for money and a good selection for different dietary requirements. Would recommend to anyone wanting cheap drinks and a great atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, good value food & drinks!! Very accommodating in adapting new menu items for veggies :)) Love the garden party pizza!!

Great spot! Can watch the match on TVs outdoors, smoke a cigar and enjoy a pint!

Food was brilliant, really good value and really tasty!! Would 100% recommend to anyone in the area. Fantastic deals for students

Decent student pub which has been there for many many years under different names (Bierrex etc). Mostly mainstream beers, but they have a couple of IPA types as well. Good classic rock and pop music playing.

Nice bar, fast friendly staff, great service, outside seating if you prefer.

Been here loads of times it's a nice place today I was with my wife with the flowers dress on table 33 !!! Would like to say thank you to the friendly staff who looked after us the best service 👍

I was at this pub 19/07/24 and it was only£4.50 for a pint of Guinness which they poured it perfectly. Great pub with great food and a great atmosphere.

Met up with friends and as always,great food,good atmosphere,and friendly Staff.Shout out to jaxon who looked after us all..Would highly recommend a visit .

Food is Incredible the staff are super friendly and helpful especially Charlie she provided excellent service

Excellent pub. I have been coming here on and off for 5 years, always excellent food, well kept beer and competitive prices. Staff are always welcoming and provide quick service.

Brilliant bar! Staff are amazing, food is spectacular 100% will be back here 😃

Havnt been in for years... Good pint .. good service...

Been in a few times between lecture, it's a good place to chill for a bit with your mates. Food was canny too when I couldn't be bothered to cook at home

Got invited to a birthday party here, absolutely lovely place, great place for a birthday or celebration. Staff were absolutely lovely and so cheap!! Would definitely recommend a visit :)

Great place to hold events! Wonderful team, would go again!

Great pub. Excellent atmosphere for England game, good deals.

If only city won. We NEED Newcastle in Europe. The least the mags deserve. Aaaargh. Onion rings!

Had my sons 21st birthday there . The staff were great , decorated the pub , food was excellent and covered all the dietary needs we needed . Couldn't of asked for a better service x

I’ve been lucky enough to visit The Hancock a few times over the last few years and it never disappoints. Service is always of high quality and the food is amazing- I would definitely recommend.

My favourite place in town. Service is always great and the food is lovely! Jackson is a credit to the bar and always greets us with a smile.

Lively with good drinks offers.

Amazing staff and great atmosphere, Jackson is amazing

Fantastic welcome food exceptional and drinks were served really quickly considering it was so busy .....understandable as owners make u feel at home well done guys

I Come here for some food and pints with some friends before every Newcastle match and the food is always lovely and fantastic atmosphere.

Great outdoor space for pre match drinks

jackson was so lovely , i see him everytime im in and he’s always welcoming

Jackson was exceptional. Great prices too.

Didn't try the food but found this place on maps before we went to a gig at the city hall. Very nice inside and very warm and welcoming staff, cocktails were very good value for money, quite hidden away but a very nice place to visit.

5 friends and myself met here for lunch, very good for the money for the lunch and a drink offer, all had flat breads and a glass of wine, coffees afterwards. would deffinately be back again and we will try the weekend.

Called in today with my friends for pizza and drinks.Been here before on numerous occasions and as always food and service is spot in..very polite staff and attentive to to whats going on in bar..They came over to us and asked if we needed more drinks etc and if we were pleased with food ..we will be returing yet again when we are in newcastle next,a hidden gem ..

It's a great pub. Excellent staff, good value and plenty of spaces screens and decent music.

Food was lovely as usual has the fish and chips which was delicious would highly recommend

I love this pub and the food is unreal. The staff for the most part are lovely however, a small few of them have a absolute stinking attitude when they serve you and it’s so off putting.

Great venue and cheap drink Mondays! Only 4 stars because I was told that they can't promise any food, even salad, can be gluten free because their kitchen extractor fans pick up and spray flour over everything 😂

Amazing place. Brilliant service. Jackson and Flo are wonderful and always make me and my colleagues feel welcome. Highly recommend. (Plus - food is fantastic!) x

We come here all the time for post work pints or lunch . Amazing place, amazing service. Jackson and Flo are the best!. Totally recommend

Amazing atmosphere and amazing staff. Couldn't do enough for us.

Had a lovely time here - pizza was unreal

Class staff do, lovely staff. Asahi on tap what more could you want :o

Great food, great atmosphere. All the staff were very accommodating. Highly recommend a visit.

Student pub with large beer garden. Top notch selection of beers, and great deals on pub classic meals.

Was here for a staff party. Huge shout out to Jackson who looked after us on the bar on the evening. Super friendly and remembered mine, and everyone else's order. Superstar! Pizzas were class too

Good pub with good atmosphere, they close everyday at least an hour before they say they will even when really busy - lazy manager

Amazing staff, great for sport! Cheaps pints what more could you want

Quick service and a spacious environment of indoor and outdoor sitting.

It's been years since I was in this bar and found it to be pretty nice. It was busy but not too busy and the staff were all friendly enough. I would happily go back again

Alot of students.. but great atmosphere, etc

It was an amazing night full of great laughs and celebrations for my birthday

8 of us attended for a Xmas lunch and the service and value of the food could not be faulted at all. The 2 guys looking after us were very attentive and dealt with an allergen brilliantly and was very detailed. We will be sure to book up again for next year. We all got the 3 course lunch and the burgers were one of the best I've had around town, would very highly recommend this place for sure.

16 of us for Christmas lunch and we all loved it. Fantastic staff took care of us all in a timely fashion and the food was amazing, especially the turkey dinner pie. I would thoroughly recommend this place!

Dirty chips were a rip off for a fiver. Got a handful in bowl. Place was cold, had to sit with my coat on. Don't think I'll be going back

Great atmosphere, great music, great prices, definitely my new local! Special shoutout to Josh who really made our stay!

Absolutely brilliant place to host a party. We booked out the upstairs "coop" bar for a birthday and from the point of booking to leaving nothing was too much trouble and we were really looked after on the night of the event. We would highly recommend this place for any large bookings, its also just out the way of the main high street giving it a very private feeling.

It’s us back again, still can’t complain about anything here, it is simply great, pizzas outstanding as they always are, service top notch as usual. 10 out of 10.

The overall service is great, and I come here weekly with friends to have drinks. However, there's been an issue persisting for over half a year with the door locks in the women's toilet. Out of the 5 cubicles, 2 have had broken locks. This significantly affects female customers, and I hope this can be resolved promptly.

Very friendly on the Sunday afternoon when we visited

The Hancock is an amazing pub with a great vibe. We booked the upstairs room for a 21st birthday party. The managers and staff went above and beyond to create an atmospheric space for us to enjoy. The bar staff created a range of non alcoholic cocktails for guests who didn’t drink. The catering team met everyone’s dietary needs and we had the most delicious pizzas! Nothing was too big for them- they were so helpful and resourceful. I would definitely recommend for a drink and food or even for an organised event! An ideal and safe place to be in the city.

Good bar, a good selection of drinks.

If you ask kindly, they’ll play Formula 1 upstairs! Been to the Hancock both socially and to attend private events upstairs - it’s always a treat! The food is excellent, but I’ve often found food to be sold out, so always have a back-up option when ordering food!!

Really nice bar, good food and atmosphere. Drinks were really good value. Canny little student bar 👍

Lively pub, great service from staff. Haven't had food, but looks like decent pub fare. Offers discounts for students, blue light and civic centre staff, which is nice. Not too expensive either way.

The absolute best burgers in Newcastle. I've ate burgers at so many pubs in Newcastle and Gosforth but here serves the best. The amount of sauces and contents inside the burgers is absolutely incredible to say the least, also the amount of flavour with the burgers is simply unbeatable. Here serves the best burgers I have ever eaten. 10/10. Excellent.

Went here for the first time with a group of friends really pleasant place with be coming back for food next time had some good deals on

Very welcoming atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Good value for food. Excellence dining experience there.

Brilliant food excellent service doesn't matter whats happening this is the most chill place in town to drink and eat and have a great time cannot fault

Quality pub food wasn't on when i got there

Nathan the sexiest bar lady eva

Called for family meal . Really enjoyed. Peter looked after us. Would recommend

Great place nice to chill for a drink that Jackson guy was great behind the bar

Visited a couple of times over the last few days amazing pub, food is delicious and the staff are all amazing. Can get busy on a friday night but service is fast well worth a visit if you are in the area

Great food, great choice of drinks, friendly staff and a fantastic vibe with great music as well

Great bar to watch sports there's a TV wherever you look so you never any of the action

Best pub in Newcastle for a lovely time and good priced drinks! Had Peter serving us all night and he makes it even better!!

One of my favourite pubs in town, without a doubt a fantastic atmosphere, great drinks deals and a lush little beer garden.

Great match day pub, service is very quick, great staff

Lovely pub indoors and with a great outdoor seating area!

Great pub friendly staff good atmosphere would recommend a visit

Decent place for a pint and live sport, only cheap with student card which isnt ideal. Plastic cups instead of pint glasses often used so wont be back

Back again dropping our Harry off for University, called in again for some lunch like last time and was as good as ever, our son doesn’t know how good he has it!

great place to watch the football, service was a bit slow, and the food was ok, but great atmosphere on a match day

On a trip to the Newcastle from Greece, our first time to the UK and visiting many cities, very good bar and atmosphere was very good for the football when Newcastle were playing, would recommend very highly.

This place had stood the test of time. I was there last weekend...before that it was around 10 years ago. I used to go all the time back in the day. It still looks pretty much exactly the same. It looks well maintained and the staff are friendly. Good selection of drinks and food. There is a beer terrace and an inside section. If your passing it's worth stopping for drinks a bite to eat.

Canny little tucked away bar.. decent atmosphere.

Great bar just beside the civic centre, would definitely recommend a visit
