The Keel Row in Newcastle upon Tyne

Absolutely dreadful. I waited patiently at the bar to beig ignored multiple times. Eventually I spoke up and advised I had been ahead of the person she'd offered to serve. The bar tender was extremely rude, said she serves who she first sees, not who's been there longest. I said it was poor customer service, even the gentleman aside agreed I was first. She stormed off to get her manager "Karen" who came back and belittled me, shouted at me Infront of the other patriots, demanding I leave. Myself and the other bystanders were shocked l. I can't believe you make those less abled. I hope somethings done about this. Absolutely disgusting behaviour, discrimination in my eyes

It's set out like a working mens club. Full of drunks on a Saturday at 4pm. Not a family pub at all. We ate from the tables in the middle aisle and the food was below par with drunken lads pushing each other, sloshing drunks over people.

Early start Christmas shopping and decided to have the full English. Well worth it. Staff nice and polite. Would definitely recommend

Monday night, March night..21.44pm. Empty....probably gonna be bursting with supporters very soon..🍻

A long hair in my bowl of chips but kitchen staff don't wear hair covers so perhaps not surprising. Four of the ladies toilets out of service. Makes me wonder about the management of the place.

Really good place for morning breakfast before heading out exploring Newcastle

Was clean and well staffed for a wetherspoons

Too busy, too many tables squashed together plus loo was upstairs rather than downstairs with security guards 🤣🤣

Wetherspoon resturants always and never disappoint. tasty food at cheap prices but too small a portions… beers were great though. This rock n roll band are satisfied. Punk IPA Is a winner

A excellent pint of beer served perfectly and staff were excellent too

Harry Wheldrick is as a lovely server. He was fantastic, a lovely server. 10/10 He’s been exceedingly friendly, what a wonderful soul, so insightful- thank you

Typical spoons. Good food and drinks at food prices. Fast service. Slow to clear tables and couldn't find a clean table when we entered, so we cleaned one for ourselves.

We didn't enjoy our meals and I'm sure my sausages weren't vegetarian ones either, pair of us not impressed

Just awful vibes. Not the fault of the staff or clientele at all. The worst Wetherspoon pub in Newcastle.

Price-quality ratio here is perfect! You don't pay much and the food was of excellent quality! Indian curries are highly recommended

It's a dark and dingy weatherspoons. It's cheap no other reason to go there really.

I dont normally write reviews but I'm so shocked at how bad this place is. I took my mum for an afternoon trip to the theatre and then went here for food afterwards. We both ordered the mixed grill because it was on special. Most of the meat was unidentifiable. We definitely had different things to each other. I know lamb can be served pink which is fine but it was RAW. The gammon was just fat. The place is dark and cramped and just wasn't a pleasant experience. The one near the train station is much better

Chicken was supposed to be hot n spicy but could taste garlic n herb, think they just put a glaze on the chicken

Nice place to go just very very busy on football match days

My friend and I ordered cooked breakfasts, both came barely warm. By the time we'd buttered our bread it was cold. The beans, egg, everything. The glasses for our drinks also had left over drink on the side aswell. Would not come back again.

This is a old Lloyds No1 bar that Spoonz has taken over, and it plays music so it's not your usual Spoonz crowd, the food was ok but very small portions. And the service was not great either.

What's not to like, good prices, service was good

Quick service even though it was busy.

Visited for a meal and drinks. Excellent value and food was tasty but not very hot. Some drink options were not available but there is plenty of choice. The pub was rather quiet in the afternoon so the service was good.

Great place to meet and get a bite to eat before hitting the town.

Lively atmosphere and friendly staff

I don't eat much pizza but that day I needed some carbs, also it comes with the drink with good price ,I was satisfied with the pizza so ordered a 2nd round.

I visited yesterday but they want my id after first drink.... I don't know the name of manager but his behavior is very bad with me totally racism m

I visited today with my cousins, they didn't asked for i.d on first drinks but on next drink they created mess and manager on duty Mr.Sam told us to leave the premises , he was too rude with us , i been to many weatherspoon's but this was my worst experience and will never recommend to any of my friends, Mr.Sam you can't be racist in this world anymore! 🤞💔

Ordered a mixed grill. Meat was over done but edible. Nothing special though. Service through the app was efficient and timely and bar service was ok however it wasn't busy and a lady in front of me was missed for service due to lack of attentiveness from bar staff not keeping an eye on who was first.

Great location very cheap. but slow seevice

Thank god for the mile castle ... the mile castle is a million times better . Much more fun . 3 floors and every floor a different vibe ...

I tried 2 different wines and they were both disgusting!

A Joyfull Bundle for frds ,Food and drinks....with the best economy prices. Visit and njoy the food along with drinks.

Had meal here, nicely cooked and was served hot

Went in to get a drink after having food elsewhere. The barmaid saw us waiting at the bar but saw some of her friends come in who were really drunk, chatted to them and didn't acknowledge us. Terrible customer service, won't be coming back sorry.

Good food good beer and nice atmosphere

Serene indoor bar/lounge suitable for all with controlled access to underage at odd hours. Service is top-notch with friendly waiters and bartendering services. Food and drinks at affordable prices. Really enjoyed my experience there.

Dark and dingy. Needs a makeover. I'm told the Ladies toilets are dire.

Lovely food great attentive staff

a good spoons but lacking a bit atmosphere

Standard Wetherspoons, you know what you're getting and no hassle

Nice place, lots of 'outdoor' tables in an indoor leasure complex. Decent loos and good bar staff.

I would avoid this place it’s a Pooh show ! Dirty tables / glasses / cutlery Flies Order on app but no WiFi working Staff non existent or just short staffed Barman had attitude This must be worst spoons EVER I would like management to comment but they ain’t got one probably Disgusting hovel

Great place, good service. Good food

Drinks took forever even though it was dead, and pretty sure they gave us the cheaper version of the shots ( corkys) instead of sourz.

Everything you expect with a Spoons but a canny set up with great staff. Oh, and the escalators are both working again.

The restaurant is inside the "Gate Mall". You need to order at the bar or via their app. (Fully Self Service). No one tells you this or it's marked at the table until you ask to be served. Food was good don't expect high quality. More over its very affordable. Main course with 1 soft drink costs you approximately £12-£15. Very reasonable fot the location.

Cheap and reasonably cheerful, food was ok

For breakfast it was nice and quiet on our visit, which is perfect as I have a noise sensory thing. Our drinks and food came quickly and the wait staff were super on the ball. I have to say, and this is a big deal, our breakfasts were perfect! Nothing overcooked or dry or undercooked even presentation was nice and it was HOT. Other weatherspoons take note please! Do you know how many sub par brekkies I've had at a spoons and you guys are the only ones to get a genuine compliment and for me to leave a review? It's been quite a few so congratulations. Cheers guys P.s. price was also very reasonable compared to other spoons.

Went 3 nights in a row while working in Newcastle. Cracking pub with great staff and super value food and drinks.

Didn't eat but great atmosphere and staff very friendly

Same as other weatherspoons review, great

Great friendly pub 🍻 Need to Carry ID after certain hours

We didn't have food only drinks

Its a spoons so you know what you get. Service via the app was slower than normal

Nice pub, food well cooked and presented. Shame about the very loud and obnoxiously drunk females, so loud I couldn't hear my partner across the table. On another day it would be great

A nice little place inside the gate. Close to local bus route and metro. You get lovely food and drink at great price but the service isn't brilliant, although we ordered from our table. The staff weren't friendly or talkative but wasn't rude either. Think they could clean tables better between customers and quicker especially as not many customers in but enough staff. I do go in regularly as good value for money. Once again this place really needs to keep up the cleaning of the table I quite often visit this place and have to ask for table to be cleared and table cleaned. I was in recently and had refillable hot chocolate Unfortunately the milk ran out I asked someone in purple shirt but he didn't seem happy to have to fill the milk up. He wasn't friendly or talkative at all. Thankfully a nice man dressed all in black, black shirt, think he could have been manager helped me and apologised because I was asked to use the other machine but it ran out of hot chocolate powder. He was very nice and apologetic. Thankfully. Here are few meals that I've had recently that were really nice. Once again can't fault meal or price but the app doesn't work good because not good Internet here. Also they arnt good and clearing tables here. I had to ask someone and yes he cleared the table but did not clean the table, it was dirty so I actually moved, I asked someone to clear this table and he did not wash it either, this time I used some wipes I had on me😯 No they weren't busy either Been back few times now no real change as you always have to clear tables to sit or ask for tables to be cleaned. Prices have gone up but when they do arrive they are mostly nice ==Update== been back into weatherspoon and the table was actually cleared and clean, the food was lovely so all is good on this visit On various visits to Keel Row they never seem to clear the dishes from the tables, they take away empty glasses but never dishes or wipe table you either have to ask or put the dishes and glasses on a vacant table and I have cleaned the table myself on numerous occasions They also let male staff enter women's toilets without shouting male attendant anyone in to give you warning a male member of staff is checking the toilets, thing this is really bad Would love wetherspoon to respond to this x

Typical Wetherspoons, cheap drinks, weird dairy smell at all times of day and the toilets are on the moon. This one is open late and not playing deafening party tunes though which make it a preference to the bar next door!

Nice food and fast service of drinks. Door staff were lovely to chat to

Ate and drank twice on sunday,all staff cheerful and polite,was quiet after the breakfast rush,Well done Harry,sorting my phone out for spoons app,

Nice seating area in the shopping centre space outside. But uncomfortably hot inside the actual pub itself.

Not a bar I hit regularly because I try to avoid the city centre unless essential. On this visit (my first in over a year said my Google timeline) the Shipyard IPA wasn't pouring its usual supreme self. I still banged down three of them seeing as I was off work that day! It's pretty compact as Wetherspoon joints go, but if you're in the building or at this end of town, it's worth a stop-off and keeps a bit more cash in the old sky rocket.

Fast cooked hot food even when it was very busy because England lionesses where playing

A typical Wetherspoon pub, you know what you getting.

Cheap and cheerful pre show drinks and food. Loaded fries southern fried chicken strips and pizza £12. 2 jugs of cocktails £15 and 2 glasses of cocktails £10

Karen (the manager) provided us with excellent service throughout our stay at keel row. She was extremely helpful and welcoming, meeting all of our demands. If you are wanting to provide a pay rise for any of your staff members I would nominate karen. She had a friendly conversation with us despite the bar being busy. As first year students we have been regulars at the keel row and it has been an amazing experience. We will keep coming back, we love you guys.

A little bit tucked away 🤔..... food and drinks all good cant complain. Its a smaller wetherspoons and on a Saturday night was very busy.... cant put my finger on it but lacked something atmosphere wise i think maybe its its location just doesnt sit right. But enjoyed time i spent there 🥂

Typical Spoons offering fantastic value for money with some good tasty food and brilliant selection of beers and wines, well most drinks, worth visiting

I can't thank staff enough for what they did...due to my mistake!! They know who they are!..thank you so much👍

Small and quiet pub surprise at how quiet it was for an Friday night food OK but did not enjoy it

Dark and uninviting no natural light . The breakfast I had was a new addition to the menu . Poached egg on toast guac pico de Gallo and salsa. Very good

Great place for meeting friends and having a few drinks and food, the only major disappointment to spoil things is the state of the female toilets as they're all over flowing with loo roll and full with water. Get this fixed and people will stay longer into the night.

First time in this one. Staff very busy.

Great place. Good location. friendly staff

Pleasant friendly staff with good food and drink at affordable prices.

Great for away fans.beer very cheap

Nice atmosphere, very busy had to sit outside in the mall area. Great beers on tap.

Very cute, nice interior and a happy place to go for a bite.

Friendly staff and a top breakfast. Very much like every Wetherspoons but a much better atmosphere and the staff go the extra mile.

Overall good.. will only get napkins when you order food 😂

I prefer the older Wetherspoons which typically are in converted buildings and retain many original features. This one is new and I just stopped here today for an Ale. I note it was cheaper from the Bar (£1.99) than on the App (£2.73)!

Ok, no issues, just not amazing.

This place is in what looks like a shopping centre few bars around it . Had 2 drinks in . Was gettin busy when we were there at 1pm

With Spoon you know what you are getting and that's what most people like about them and this bar did not disappoint.

Got an American burger , service was really quick , prices still very low but that is now reflected in portion size. The app was a little glitchy so ordered from bar , not really an issue.

Lovely pint of real ale, went down a treat 😊

Great place to visit highly recommend

The food and drinks were so good and cheap, can’t complain.And the ambience and staff here can’t beat that.

Nice and clean, can be busy and also allow teens under 18 in till 9 o'clock with there family for a meal.

Found this one by accident in the gate. We were starving after shopping . Popped in here looking for anywhere that served food. Found it comfortable and very busy. First time here will be returning now I know it's here. Food typical weather spoons menu. Affordable and sufficient to fill empty stomachs. Would recommend visiting this place. Nice and warm and comfortable seating. Very pleasant assistants.

Freindly helpfull staff , Found that they take an interest in what,"ware they sell, knowledgablex

Ideal place to have drinks and a chat. Great value and central location

Often overlooked compared to the rest of the Spoons in Toon but the Discow Macaw Pale was superb. Fabulous service as well.

Of the 🥄 I visited in Newcastle, IMO, this is the bestest 👌

Standard spoons despite being quite busy was easy getting served. You get what you get at wetherspoons.

Cant usually get in on a match day but was a lot quieter so the grandson's had something eat and thoroughly enjoyed it

First time in this one got to sit in a quaint little booth food was ok. The chicken must have been hard to catch as the one my partner had had next to no chicken on it LOL.

The food is excellect and service is good. However, the ambience is bit worse as normal bars.

Great place, quality food and drink, excellent staff, quick service, great atmosphere, good offers on food and drink
