The Philanthropist Bar & Lounge in North Tyneside

Delicious wine, lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Good beers, great staff and a friendly atmosphere. I won't hesitate to return when in Wallsend!

Fab bar ..staff brilliant Alan and Louise

Our first visit to this bar/lounge in Wallsend and we will return. We booked the Wowcher afternoon tea deal and we were both impressed with the vegatatrian option. The deal was afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco which was served icy cold. Overall brilliant vegetarian afternoon tea, one of the best we have had with falafel and spinach/feta samosa alternative rather than the usual duplicate sandwiches to replace the meat. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable from arrival until we left and service throughout was good, attentive but discreet. So pleased we decided to book, thank you for great service.

First time in here(opened before lockdown) Nice friendly welcome Good knowledge of what beers they sell and the flavours of them They also change the beers they sell every so often Even had a little tester of a couple before purchasing Nice little place,nicely decorated, good atmosphere, friendly staff Highly recommend a visit Definitely be back

Had a lovely afternoon tea for four , and attended by the lovely Alan , I deffo recommend this ! We will be booking again 🥰

Brilliant afternoon tea such good value lovely place Alan was such an and excellent host we would certainly return A little gem in Wallsend

Had afternoon tea with a wowcher deal here on a Saturday afternoon. Really good value with the deal. Staff were lovely and attentive and the venue is comfortable and spotlessly clean. Not sure I would have paid full price for the afternoon tea. Sandwiches were fresh, scones and fruit also really nice. But cakes were out of a packet. Type you would get from any supermarket. This is my only criticism and it's a very small one. I imagine they do this as they dont serve a ton of afternoon teas so making / buying a more home made sweet variety would not be worth it. Presentation was so good. Cocktails were beautiful and properly made. Will 100% go back ans maybe try the cheese plates etc with the cocktails or try when a band is on. It's feels like a very strange place in daylight as inside the bar you could easily be down the ouseburn or in tynemouth.....but are lolking out onto wallsend High Street. But so hope it does well and stays we could do with more of these venues in the area. When we were in someone was setting up for a private party and the venue is ideal for a small gathering. I would certainly consider it for that in the future.

Visited here with friends A lovely little bar serving great ales and tasty cocktails.

Lovely staff and afternoon tea great selectiom of food

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Good choice of real ales, cocktails and spirits. Thoroughly recommend this establishment.

Topper little bar! Ales are changed often, a great selection of cocktails, and superb atmosphere! Live music and themed nights are now in the roster and I’d highly recommend you support this amazing, local pub!

Best kept secret in Wallsend love the place

Served a gin and tonic and a pint of ale , nearly £10, tonic from a cheap large bottle of Aldi tonic 🙄 very poor

Ridiculous name. Hit and miss on drinks especially wine. Bar staff help to create an atmosphere, unfortunately regulars tend to block bar area.

Great beer and great gin a really gem of a place in Wallsend some of the best people you can meet and have a drink with . Great staff

Amazing beer and staff! Really nice place for a friendly beer.

Great small bar located in Wallsend centre. Perfect place to pop in while you wait for a bus home. This place is dog friendly and hosts a great range of drinks!

Great little bar with real ale and wine. Staff and regulars really friendly.

Quality place great staff, recommended a rum that was better than my usual so can't go wrong really

Good atmosphere and selection of drinks

Love the place great company and fantastic beer

Nice bar friendly staff and customers

I turned up to do a comedy night, and as an act I was warmly welcomed and served a top rate pizza. If I was local to the area I would 100% use. Lovely welcoming venue with amazing food

Lovely bar staff, lovely bar. Drink here all the time

Amazing little gem located in Wallsend High Street. Eclectic selection of drinks that will suit everyone's taste. Intimate bar with very friendly staff that always makes you feel welcome. Could not recommend enough.

Little hidden gem of Wallsend, excellent selections of beer, great music and a great atmosphere. The staff are very welcoming and accomodating (as long as you don't bring your own food and snacks in) My new local and couldn't recommend this bar anymore.

The best bar in North Tyneside, bar none. Amazing selection of drinks to suit everyone, from craft beers to amazing cocktails. It's an intimate environment with a fantastic atmosphere which is generated by the bar staff, Alex and Al, who really know how to run a bar. They have games to play, regular live music and they're dog friendly - what's not to like?

Wouldn't waste your time, rude owner and bad vibes. Not a nice atmosphere and over priced. Felt very uncomfortable, left our drinks because of obnoxious staff. Just rude!!!

Brilliant place. Cocktails were good price and better than anything you can get in town.

Absolutely loved it. Beautiful meat and cheese platter and unlimited prosseco. Will definitely go back.

Amazing place. Lovely staff and great service. Drinks were all great, as was our absolutely unreal cheese board.

Lovely little place in Wallsend, visited with a wowcher deal and got a flight of wine each and an antipasti board. The wine and food were great, but what makes this place is the staff and the lovely relaxed atmosphere they bring, so attentive and friendly. So glad we tried this place and will definitely come back soon

Came on a Tuesday at 5pm ish and it was quiet but that’s to be expected and also what I wanted! I ordered 2 x espresso martinis and a Long Island. Long Island was amaaaaazing! The espresso martini was nice but didn’t taste of alcohol so did just taste like sweet coffee so not for me. Ordered whiskey sours next which was lovely! My only let down was I wanted a anti pasti board but they have to be pre ordered. Now I understand the reason behind this so wouldn’t knock them down. I just didn’t realise this. Didn’t see it on social media or on the reviews so this is your warning! They like them to be ordered by the morning at the latest. Obvs the more time the better I assume but they don’t like waste so please don’t order one and not show up! Will definitely be coming back and will definitely be spending some of my work days here.

Been here today and served by a very polite and friendly person. We had the cheese board that was absolutely lovely the best we have ever had and a lovely choir of wine and cocktails. Lovely warm atmosphere. Will definitely be back again

Went in last night, was quiet but great music and barman was really friendly and helpful had a great time. Would go again.

I am local to this amazing bar, me and my husband go weekly as well as friends! The duty manager Alex is so accommodating and nothing is a bother same as with the owner and bar staff. Not too expensive, always clean, tidy and so friendly. 5 stars all the way!

I cannot recommend this little pub enough, you are always treated to a friendly welcome by the staff who are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer and drinks they serve, me and my gf also had the bottomless prosecco which we both very much enjoyed and loved the food that was provided with. Defenatley worth visiting

Neat little bar with a great atmosphere, cracking cocktails and a fine selection of ales. Friendly staff delivered excellent service and there was DJ playing real records, who created a cool atmosphere. Will definitely return.

We went for the 90s indie night last weekend. Music was great, bar staff were exceptional and drinks were great value for money. We'll definitely be back, thanks for a great night

This place is a little gem. In the morning they do coffee for £2 and it's a good coffee. Nice interiors, friendly service and cosy.

Quiet here but good for a chat. Great coffee and welcoming host.

Spent a day here enjoying drinks with my girlfriend for her birthday. Incredibly warm welcome, very friendly staff, and absolutely amazing drinks. Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Stopped in for the bottomless coffee and pastry offer and it was fantastic! Very pleasant atmosphere and the service from Alan was excellent.

Very chilled place with a nice selection of drinks, will definitely be back!

Called in for a quick gin and lemonade on my way home, lovely place friendly staff,ill be back......💚

A real gem of a bar great selection of beers and the gin selection is out of this world Great staff who know there stuff from cocktail to a good beer 🍺

Great little bar, my new local and the staff are great

Very friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Came for bottnekess brunch, food was top quality and boy did they fill your drinks!! You've never head of bottomless brunch until you come here, Alex and Joe are absolutely amazing! Such great value for money and the staff are so antentive x

Had a lovely night at “All Fur Coat” and tried a few delicious cocktails alongside a rather impressive cheese board. First time inside a bar since lockdown and I felt very safe (masks, hand sanitizer and check-in on entry). Staff were super-friendly and attentive and the music was great. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to support this excellent local business.

I've been a couple of times now, to meet up with friends. Very relaxed and friendly staff with a good selection of ales, either on draught or canned/bottled.

Excellent service- must mention Joe the barman he is fab Clean and safe Toilets are immaculate Definitely recommend

Lovely relaxing atmosphere and great cocktails

Totally relaxed atmosphere good music and most of all superb staff.

Very rude member of staff and the cocktail was below par - trying to be something its not unfortunately.

Great new addition to the area. Good drinks, great staff x

Great place for a quality drink

At last a decent bar with decent beers and wines in Wallsend!!

Really good - I'd recommend highly
