The Head of Steam Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne

They didn't have hells on draft working but apart from that it was a good atmosphere and I loved that dogs were welcome. I am definitely going to come for pint with the dog next time I visit.

Plenty of space and a cosy atmosphere. Great selection of beers.

My wife and I went for dinner here as it is close to our hotel. The menu looked good and a bit different from your usual pub grub. We were pleasantly surprised, the pub is huge and has different seating areas where you can sit and have a chat with friends, play games or just chill, eat and listen to the music. We ordered beef gyros and seafood tacos and both were amazing. Yes the food costs a little more than a chain pub but the food was fresh and extremely tasty. Good selections of beer as well, including some that I have never seen before. Would highly recommend.

Excellent bar with lots of beer options. Had an enormous 15 page menu of speciality beers from all over the world. Good balance of stouts, lights, darks and then sours and lambic fruit beers as well. We had a pizza to eat which was delicious and felt hand made and rustic.

We only popped in to change our Little ones nappy as he'd had an accident, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Dropped in for a bite to eat and drink.

A vast and wide range of drinks available at head of steam

Literally walking past and decided to call in! Lots of choice in real ale, menu looked good so we ordered. My hubby got the Bourbon Smoker Burger and fries, I got the vegan 'chicken ' gyros and fries- flippen lovely!!! 👌

Bar service very quick and friendly.

The food was really nice the staff were nice, friendly and helpful 😊

Great place with friendly staff and excellent food fab choice of vegan food.

Wonderful pub. The staff are incredibly charming and welcoming. The public areas are comfortably furnished and cosy. The selection of ale is very good. It's a dog friendly venue. Really nice customers too. I haven't eaten here but will do so in the future. My favourite pub in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Amazing site. Wonderful staff, especially Miles. Great selection of beers and very knowledgeable team. Pizza was great.

Excellent dog friendly place " friendly staff

A friendly place with a good atmosphere

Classy but simple place with an extensive range of craft ales . Had a burger with fries (which was gourmet class)and a pint of lager for £11. Themed bar based around music played 70s soul and funk which is all right by me .

I had a very nice bugger. Chips there

Visited as a large group of adults and children with some friends who are from outside of Newcastle. We thought this would be a nice place to eat after a scenic walk along the quayside. The food was nice but the service left a lot to be desired. A very frosty reception from a lady with red hair who was apparently the manager. Needs to brush up on her customer service skills, definitively not the friendly geordie welcome you’d expect.

Great beer, music and atmosphere. But the toilets were absolutely disgusting. Looked liked they had not been cleaned in months.

Thought it could have been cleaner

Called in here for a drink on a cold day . Lovely, comfy seating areas and nice chilled atmosphere. Delicious hot chocolate (just needed to be piping hot )

Me and my partner always make sure we visit this place when coming up to visit family in Newcastle. Very friendly staff, fantastic atmosphere, great beers and more. We had a meal here not too long ago on a very busy Saturday, and still couldn’t fault the service or delicious food. I’ll make it my mission some day to have one of their sharing boards to myself.

Friendly staff, came here for pre theatre meal and we enjoyed it. Leaves on the line burger and the lamb shawarma. Great choice of beers and ales, pleasant atmosphere and good tunes.

Love it in here and they didn't mind my little service dog pootling around after me

Nice pub ..bit tasty on price of beer ( but it is on Quayside)

Full steam ahead whoooosh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐕♥️👍

The food was very nice, just a shame the "background" music was so loud.

Great ales, kept really well. Friday night, noisily boistrius, so not to everyone's taste. Attentive staff, polite, friendly and welcoming.

Really enjoyed our lunch trip here on Monday. £10.50 for a great gyros, side & a pint of lager. One of the best vegan ranges in Newcastle, a class selection of beer & friendly staff who are knowledgeable on their craft booze. Good music too! 🤘🏼

Great and fast service, food and drinks were lush!

Bloody lovely place. Its got everything.

The portion of food is quite small.

Nice little pub next to the quayside, great selection of beers and does some standard pub food compared to other places in the area. Staff are lovely.

Never had any food there but the drinks prices and service were very good.

Great food, efficient fast service with lovely friendly staff

Nice, large pub in a nice location, on the Quayside in Newcastle. Lots of separate booths, seating well-spaced. Owned by Cameron's and I was impressed with their own lager - plenty of flavour. Food likewise. The place had a great buzz about it. Will go again.

Always a nice spot for scran and a pint

Had our staff party last night and have to say it was above and beyond. Emily organised it and set out a table reservation for our rather large group and it was ideal. Joe and his bartenders that night were friendly, welcoming and made some amazing drinks especially the honey margarita I was told. We were quite close to the kitchens closing time and in most places this would be an issue but there were no qualms in the slightest and a couple members of the group got some meals and they looked delicious, nachos and loaded fries I had a bite of were delicious and our own chefs were impressed at the speed of service and quality. Absolutely planning to go there for our next one and will be recommending to others !

Unreal food and even better staff, thanks for the sensational, unforgettable service you team of legends xx

Was ok could do with a clean . Some glasses were dirty

Came in with a group of my friends for drinks recently, really impressed at the range of beer and craft ales available. A few of my friends are sober and usually struggle to find good non alcoholic alternatives but there was quite a bit of choice !! All staff that were serving gave great service despite it being a busy night and rushing around everywhere. The winter cocktail menu was a lovely Christmassy touch - one of my friends got the After Eight espresso martini and said it was gorgeous and it looked so pretty !!

£14 for a veggie burger and fries, for food quality similar to Morrisons, who charge £5. Chips were nice. Came without any cutlery and a rack of sauces which were mostly empty. No serviettes. The shawarma was inedible so just left it

Great winter cocktails, great service & nice atmosphere.

Dropped in for a nice pint didn't have food

There is a great selection of drinks and the staff are always really friendly to talk to, lovely environment

Great service, great beer, great food and great people. Loved the vibe and i will be definitely coming back!

Fantastic bar experience! A lively ambiance with wide selection of craft beers, this place is a five-star gem. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring a great time. I highly recommend it for a night out with friends or a cozy date night. Cheers!

Great, knowledgeable bar staff and a really good range of interesting beers. An enjoyable place to go for a few drinks.

Long ginger male staff member and blonde female staff member couldn't tell the difference between vegan and real seafood when they brought them out. Turns out both meals were vegan but they'd said they were meat, meaning the meat eater ate the vegan meal. They eventually brought out a real meat one after the meat eater had eaten, leaving the vegan eater with nothing to eat. Chips came out cold and the rest of the food was cold by the time cutlery was brought out. Terrible experience and won't be returning. Teach your staff how to discern between vegan and meat food, especially considering the vegan could have easily gotten ill due to a seafood allergy.

Nice place for an easy drink! Nice atmosphere but gets rowdy on match days

Called in for food and drinks before a visit to the Glasshouse; a quiet Sunday teatime. We pre-booked a table in case it was busy. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly young man who served us a couple of Erdinger lagers, whilst calling on someone to show us to our table, we were given a choice of a couple so we chose a booth. Again, our food order was taken by a friendly bar member, very chatty and pleasant. Pizza (Hawaiian), fries and onion rings were all delicious; pipping hot, enough for us to share, all at a reasonable price. Second time we've been for food and certainly won't be the last. It's a lovely place to visit for food or drinks, comfortable seating, clean with great staff. Would definitely recommend. Hope to visit again soon.

Me, my wife, our teenager and our dog had come out for the day to take a look around Newcastle quayside. We needed somewhere that wasn't to overly priced and was dog friendly. we came across The Head of Steam by searching for dog friendly in Newcastle on the internet, and decided to give it a go. The pub was very clean and tidy inside (I would describe it as "hip" if i was still in my 20's lol) and it was on the quieter side of busy for a weekday afternoon. The menu had a lunchtime meal deal running that had a small, somewhat limited selection of food with Drinks for £8 as a meal deal. (think burgers, gyros, taco's) These come with nachos or for 50p you can upgrade to fries (and they were very good fries!) The young lady behind the bar was polite and attentive, and she cam over to ask us more about my sons burger and how he would want it making up (he is quite picky) - she was also very friendly to our dog, giving him lots of fuss that he very much appreciated. Overall if you want somewhere to grab a light lunch at a reasonable price, close to the quayside and with a nice atmosphere, this is deffo one to keep on the list of possibilities. The only think i would say is outside of the meal deal, the main menu was quite pricey, and that should be considered if eating outside of lunchtime or seeking the wider menu options.

Really enjoyed the shawarma fries !! Such a big portion for the price and also was really happy to see so many vegan/vegetarian options across the entire menu! Staff were super friendly and helpful, warm atmosphere and really enjoyed the music :) thank you!!

The pizza and chicken wings was spot on 🤌

Really nice pub, great selection of beer, staff are all friendly, chatty and helpful.

We were a large group (11ppl) , so had to book a table in advance. Most of us had burgers, and everyone enjoyed their food. A good atmosphere too.

Best Guinness I've ever had. Shuffle board tables. Wish there was darts but otherwise brilliant!

Lovely relaxing place excellent pub food and assorted beers comfortable chairs free Wi-Fi and even a charging area for your phone

Nice bar with friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly efficient service, good food, relaxed atmosphere

Great pub, friendly staff and a chilled vibe. Loads of beers that you seldom see all in one place. Thoroughly recommend the Neck Oil and my wife loved the cocktails

A very retro kind of place with train trivia. Delicious food too.

Brilliant little venue. Fantastic service from Emily behind the bar, she was happy to let us sample the beers before we made a choice and she made some excellent recommendations

Expensive and no atmosphere, staff no personality. Better pubs around.

No atmosphere, staff have no personality, place was dead on a Saturday night, drinks expensive. Don't bother, better pubs in the area.

Beware the Street Fighter Two arcade in the back for it will thieve your 50p and the bar staff will fob you off. Most upsetting. Other than that some delightful posters and photos from shipbuilding era Newcastle.

Joseph the gentleman! Went in to order a standard drink and the legend that was Joseph was full of recommendations. All of us tasted a new drink and ended up going for something different that was way better than your regular lagers and ciders. He’s a smooth operator and he’s killing it, give that man a pay rise because if not, I’ll hire him when I’m a millionaire! All jokes aside top bar man.

Great range of beers, lovely staff and the food, whilst fairly similar to other pub chains is excellent and good value for the portion sizes.

Great selection of beers, especially the Belgium beers

Lovely place to relax in the outdoor during summer 🧋☕

Lovely pub, great selection of beer, even if I wimped out and had a gin! Great decor, friendly staff and outside seating area.

Great ambiance, nice pizza and good craft beers

Really enjoyed couple of hours with our friends in this great pub

It's a nice pub, but it's just so massively over priced it's beyond a joke

Fantastic food, staff were great. We'll be back.

Best quality of beer on town. Lovely stuff, good place and really lots of different choices on the best beer on market

Love it. Great staff, GOOOD FOOD! And good times. I am a meat eater but very vegan friendly on the menu too, and they sound tasty too! 😋

Nice vibe and location. Wine is expensive and awful. Obviously cheap wine at expensive prices. Needles to say didn't drink the red or white purchased. £34 for 4 small glasses. So disappointing. I myself purchased the white which I did check if Sauvignon blanc, awful. Oops and maybe want to clean or change the table lamps.

What a wonderful pub. Great beers, friendly staff and lots of space.

The bartenders are super friendly, nice vibe, plenty of craft beer selection.

Only called in for a quicky but we liked the pub. Reasonable choice of beers and a nice tasteful interior.

Really liked it here. Away from home with work I am often alone eating out and this place was perfect for that teatime slot. My only mild irritation was I used the app to order food. With most ordering apps you get a digital receipt for your order. This is very handy for processing expenses. I was a bit surprised that the HoS app does not do this. No receipt no payment by my company so I am out of pocket for the price of my meal. Which was excellent btw

Popped in for a quick drink and a tandoori Gýros (delicious and filling), and was given excellent service by all, but particularly by a delightful bald headed fellow. I believe by the name of miles? Thanks for the great time, great drinks and great mems team

Spent a great evening in here. Good beer choices though no real ale. The best bit is the pub games out the back and the retro games.

Nice pub, food was average, had the shawarma, bit bland, but the burgers looked good

This place has a good range of different Beers and it's not massively expensive either

Having been a regular visitor to the central station venue I wasn’t even really aware of the quayside one. Popped in after the market, beer selection is insane! Both draught and the best stocked Belgian fridge I’ve ever seen. Bit overwhelming almost but the staff know their beer and guided myself and my mates to some very good first time beers. Seriously impressed! Didn’t eat but menu looks decent.

OMG I love this place, it’s so nice and the staff are lovely… I think their names were Jake and Tom? Will be back again and again, give them a raise!!!!!

Food great and good service would definitely recommend

Always has a good selection of beer

This is a fine venue with the only downsides being the price and the fact the burger I ordered being painted in mustard meaning I couldn't taste much else.

Great food with a good selection of real ales, staff are very nice with a friendly atmosphere

Called in for a quick drink, friendly chatty staff, sat at the window watching the world go by.

Chilled out 😎 place ,staff were great 🍻 coming back here was ok but let down when I asked for a half glass to drink my brown ale and I was given a glass that was minging 😞

Limited choice of vodkas, nice bar though. Staff were friendly, will defo return 👍

Best of the bunch, great location, great beer, oh and staff were ok i suppose.😝

Nice little craft beer bar. Great decor.

Terribly dry burger, overpriced and VERY slow despite not being that busy.

Good selection of beers, close to bridge and armadillo (if that’s what it’s called). Missed food but looks like good pub grub

We went for a pint on a Monday afternoon. Very wide selection of craft beer, and the Nachos were pretty good.
