Been going for years, a great pub. Nothing bad to report but a few things they could do to improve eg have the fire on, do some painting.

Just had a drink so I can't comment on the food. I had a chat with the music maestro as the tunes were fantastic, I hope you enjoy the Bobby Oroza tune 👍🍺

Always a good pub and have a good range of events on. The beer could be a bit more exciting but worth a visit.

Me and my partner went for food today had a beef taco and the loaded fries with beef on top as an extra, the food was a Instagrams wet dream and looked amazing but then eating it was the most boring bland food I've ever tasted, it was like we were chewing on water, I thought I had lost my taste and was getting ill or something so made my partner try the burrito and she couldn't taste anything at all, even a quick dip of the beef dripping liquid that was just water with coriander leafs floating in it, it was still tasteless, luckily I was hungry and just ate the water flavoured snack but was very let down as heard the food was meant to be banging.

Thank you for the lovely baby shower at the Punch Bowl! Everyone loved the food, and the service was brilliant—so attentive both in the lead-up to the event and on the day itself. My daughter has a peanut allergy, and the care and attention given to this made us feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend it to anyone planning a party. I can’t wait to come back for more food!

Me and my friends come to this pub often and we have been customers of Birria Bella for some time now and we love it. However, the terrible attitude of one staff member made me write this negative review. Me and 5 of my friends were having a great time, bar staff were really friendly, we ordered food, beers and margaritas that were really nice. However, one of the girls that was collecting glasses and plates had a terrible attitude throughout the time we were there. When they were closing, bare in mind we were not the last table and we were just having a nice chat, she told us “we are closed now so would be great if you could leave” which we all found extremely rude. There are much better and polite ways to ask customers to leave! Very disappointing.

This place has been recommended to me by so many of my friends so I went for this first time this weekend. The food was absolutely brilliant, the best Mexican place I have ever been to. The staff are absolutely lovely, every single staff member I spoke to was helpful and so attentive. My new favourite place to go in Newcastle!

Decent Bar near the cradlewell bypass. Fairly friendly bar staff and a decent pint, although the prices are quite expensive for the drinks provided. The pub isn't the biggest of venue but provides a decent view of an old bar from the 80s, which is a rarity in these modern times, although it can appear outdated during quiet hours.

This place is massively underated. The punch bowl serve birria Bella and it was better than I could have expected. I ordered the birria beef taco and the shrimp taco which were both incredible. Personally I preferred the shrimp but would recommend both. Others ordered the beef quesadilla which was a very generous portion for the price. Pork belly bites were unreal too. Can’t fault the food, margs were great as well. Shame there isn’t more outdoor seating though. tacos were gluten free aswell!

Greeted by friendly staff, a bit quiet even for a Sunday afternoon. We dropped in for a couple of quick Half's of beer, however Half's are unavailable, as the beer measures go up in thirds only, anyway, the bitter was in good condition and tasted great. On my visits here over the last few years I have never really been able to locate a display of draught cask beer prices, wines & food prices, yes but where on earth are the beer prices, had me puzzled for years. 🤔

THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT CASH ? CARD ONLY ? Which is ok if u already know And close unexpectedly, seems wether they like ur face or not? The blond girl refused to serve me ? Said was last orders Then served about 20 people straight after??? People were petting my dogs and asking why she would not serve me ? A very nice kind and reasonable gentleman pissed her off by buying ME a drink lol The other member of staff said “I’ll ask “ but didn’t come back ? May I ask for what reason your staff refused me whilst serving 20+ people, your whole bar was was like “Why they won’t serve you?” Ur dogs are lush Yet when that kind reasonable man bought me a pint , she said nothing! Didn’t take it away from me ? So why didn’t she serve me ? I was polite and respectful! I’ll come in and talk to you dave, no problem! Cos that is unacceptable, to the point where a customer buys me a drink cos that blonde girl refused to serve me ! Cos whatever , then served 20-30+ even more drinks? So customers were even asking why she not serve you ? She serve all of us ? Dated 10/9/23 Updated 11/9/23 Sorry if the review rages you, but it’s what happened! And witnesses seen it! I’m disappointed no cctv or investigations have been made before you just barred me! Hopefully ur staff will check and see ? I and %75 of the pub couldn’t understand why I was refused service whilst they were being served ? People were even saying “Just come n sit with us”? Look into it or reply instead of just banning me for one member of staff being unnecessarily rude! And me reviewing it ? I came in this pub the day it opened! I’d hope to think I don’t have to leave this review the way it is….

Decent array of cask pulls, tho the beers currently on seldom presents a lot of choice (tends to be beers as dark as the crowd you'd find at a folk music festival). Service tends to the unhurried and a little chaotic.

On Sunday, I received terrible service from a female food runner! Being short staffed isn't an excuse for below average service. It is bad practice for staff to not acknowledge customers when they deliver food, offer condiments, or say, "enjoy your meal.. Their inability to provide basic customer service has discourage us from returning.

Awful service accusing my friend of being confrontational after asking why we hadn't been told they don't have skinny lattes after asking several times and waiting 20 mins only to get cold lattes. Then after my 73 year old friend who had paid for the lattes asked for either an equivalent of a skinny latte or she would like her money back she was called aggressive! The place was not busy and this was the manager with zero customer service skills. Also they do not take cash what is that all about? Absolutely ridiculous. To call customers confrontational and aggressive for asking a bloody question was unbelievable. Don't even go to the toilet.

I 'found' this restaurant only because I fancied a change from my normal venue. What a find!! I had a pizza which was amazing. Beautiful fresh dough and a bolognese topping which was divine. Lovely staff and service too. Even the house wine was great value and a perfect accompiment to the meal. From what I saw of other diners, they seemed impressed too.

It's so dark and dingy when it gets dark you can hardly see who you're sitting next to especially at the front windows. We've stopped drinking there. Four of us were regulars Friday and Saturday night. A good pub spoilt.

This branch always seems to be a mess as it's so small and stuff is everywhere. The staff have little craic (unlike those at the Monument branch who are great). Could do with taking the COVID shields away as well unless it's now used as protection from the homeless folk who hang about the entrance. Today the Ham Salad Baguette had the texture/ taste of yesterday's. The Apple Juice was not chilled and tastes about half as appley as Tesco's 500ml meal deal bottle. All was not quite lost though as the Belgian Bun was delicious. Value was OK at £4.85 had the sandwich and juice been nicer.
