Ye Olde Cross Inn in Gateshead

Wonderful community owned bar. Fantastic selection of beers and wines and an amazing atmosphere created by a broad range of folk. Owned by the community and used by the community.

Walked 12 miles to get here Found secret room Secret room had secret Bluetooth speaker Goode crispe Best wishes

A very friendly pub good atmosphere dog friendly 👍 no

Amazing local community pub with great staff and a big selection of wine, cocktails and a huge amazing of lagers and craft ales. A rotational food service is also brought on-site most Friday/Saturdays which is a great option. Weekly/monthly events including the open mic night and fantastic comedy club are also an added bonus.

This community-owned pub was a great choice for a beer after a Saturday afternoon dog walk. There's a broad choice of quality beers and it's pleasantly decorated. It was a lovely place to sit, chat and enjoy ale.

Lovely, quaint, warm pub. Will visit again.

A great community pub, with an amazing selection of beers, ciders, stouts, etc

What a lovely, friendly community pub Also great choice in alcohol free options for the drivers or Dry Januaryers

Fantastic community run pub. Dogs welcomed, children welcomed, great lagers, beers and a decent wine selection. Well done Ryton community and all volunteers.

Excellent community pub. Great beer, friendly atmosphere and very dog friendly.

Got a couple of pints here, the staff were lovely. Can't wait to go back. Didn't get food so can't speak for that

Great pub. Had lots of nice beer here. I've promoted a comedy gig upstairs. Lovely management. Proper community pub

Great local community pub. Gets busy at weekends and on sunny days. Food vans give a variety of choice. Very dog friendly

A very lively pub. Owned by the community. Lots of interesting beers on tap. No food served. Recomend if you want a place chat and enjoy a drink. No TV or piped music.

It must be at least 15 year since my last visit, but I can say that the Ye olde Cross which is now a community run pub is 10× better & welcoming to families with their bairns & walkers.. even better you can fetch ya derg in. Beer selection is most excellent with a good choice of Cask, Keg, cans & bottles.. there's also a canny selection of bottles & can in the fridges with a choice to take out. As for the food.. the Ye Olde Cross offers some very, very good bar snacks from crisps & samosas to some tremendous gourmet locally sourced Scotch eggs. Will I return for another visit? Oh yes! And it won't take 15 year for it to happen

Lovely pub. Was a nice summery day when I visited so sat in the outside area. Was lovely and friendly both staff and customers

Loved this pub. They've a beer for everyone!

Excellent Community Pub. Lovely atmosphere.

First visit. Place was packed but service was brilliant.

Excellent beer selection. Many decent stouts, IPAs and ciders. Lovely staff, and a great outdoor beer garden, front and rear.

Incredible pub, run amazingly by Mick and the team. This is our local, and we hope, like everyone else I'm sure, that the team who run it, stay, or at least what they offer the community, is kept and unspoiled. Great selection of drinks, which is refreshed regularly, with plenty of activities throughout the week, both night and day. We had a party here recently too, after coming here for the past few years, and it was faultless.

It's the belterest of belta boozers 🍻

The craft beers are a must. Nice vibe in there

Ye Olde Cross is by far the best pub in our local area. Having been in many years ago before it closed, and seeing what it's now become, you wouldn't think it was the same place! It doesn't matter what day you go, it's always buzzing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of community events and activities to keep everyone entertained. The drinks selection is second to none also, there's something for everyone. Numerous food pop up events and takeaway opportunities too. A must visit bar if you're in the area.

What a fantastic pub! There's an outstanding selection of beers (AF too), some wonderfully friendly staff, they're dog friendly (kid friendly too) and have outdoor spaces for those sunny days. They regularly host open mic nights, comedy nights and have a selection of food vendors most weekends. I'm certain you would struggle to find a better establishment!

Very busy. Great beer. Good atmosphere too 🍺

Great open mic night, first Thursday of the month.

Love it here! Cosy and always has a great atmosphere. The selection of beer is great and always changing. Can’t recommend enough!

I think this is my new favourite pub. Looks amazing, friendly staff behind the bar, a great selection of beers and to top it off the music taste is exquisite. To go from Spandeau Ballet to Max Richter - Spring. Keep it up guys!

Proper good pub. Superb beer choice and eggs

Brilliant service and spot on pint

Lovely, super welcoming community run pub. From the greeting you get from the bar staff, through the amazing selection of drinks available to the decor, everything is friendly, accessible, and cool. We often get into chats with other people in the pub because its one of those rare places where everyone feels at home. Great atmosphere, best selection of beers anywhere in the North East and a really interesting programme of events in their lovely upstairs space plus pop up food vans most weekends. Also fully wheelchair accessible.

Absolutely top pub! Lovely staff, lovely beer, always a good atmosphere in this place.

Just class. Great beer. Great community atmosphere.

Friendly atmosphere with a great range of beers we'll worth a look

Friendly community pub in the heart of the village.

Didn't dine here but had a few drinks..what a lovely place staff lovely... x recommend

Only had a pint very busy for a Friday but allways is , great atmosphere.

First time here. Atmosphere very chilled. Familiies and couples. Huge selection of drinks, and they had a pizza van outside, doing a roaring trade. Dog friendly and lots of them, so quite a bit of noise from them. Lovely location.

Popped in for a quick drink ,great community pub

Didn't eat here so no comment on that. Facilities a little dated. But clean. Popped in after a date night. Wonderful people. Friendly staff. Great selection of beers. Including a fridge with weird and wonderful brews. Highly suggest anything by Kernel Brew The church down the hill is definitely worth a look around too if you like old stuff

Brilliant community pub with a great range of exciting beers. We spent a Sunday afternoon in the beer garden and enjoyed lobster and chips from the food van. Service was slow, but it was worth the wait.

Great pub run & supported by the local community in Ryton. Outdoor seating to the front and rear. Very good selection of real ales & craft beer. Friendly staff. Regular pop-up varied Street food available. All in all this pub is well worth a visit!

It's a great community owned pub Excellent service and a great selection of beers 🍻

Always a winner when you walk in to as many dogs as people. Really nice chilled atmosphere with very friendly staff

Usual bar snacks all week. Fab samosas and scotch egg selection at the weekend, and pop-ups now and then. Great community pub in a lovely village. Good outdoor space. Looking forward to experiencing cinema and comedy nights.

Called in for a glass of wine after a dog walk along the river. The bar staff was very friendly, recommended the house white which was very nice. Good selection of craft beers too. Overall pleasant community pub. Dog friendly.

Just a fantastic pub with great staff. Patrons are superb, friendly and this is one of those pubs where you just feel at home and can have good times. No loud music, no tv (that I can see), just a great selection of drinks, good food, great atmosphere and the occasional comedy or music night. Highly recommend. Oh aye, it’s dog friendly to boot! Love it!

Great atmosphere on open night mic night.

Great selection of drinks Staff very friendly Great atmosphere too

Friendly staff warm atmosphere like a second home

Great Pub with a good selection of ales and wine. Brilliant staff too, friendly and helpful. Lovely setting in the centre of old Ryton village.

Always a great atmosphere and huge selection of beers. The staff are friendly and you are made to feel welcome. Very often local food vans will be on site and you can eat the food within the pub. Either a quiet drink with your partner or a few beers with friend, you can’t go wrong.

Lovely community owned pub, great selection of drinks and warm and friendly staff

Was there for a funeral staff very friendly drinks not to expensive

A wonderful pub with a fantastic beer selection. Keep your eye on their social media pages for all sorts of events and food pop ups.

I'm going back tomorrow about 1ish

Great. Good beer and music venue. Friendly vibe.

Good local pub great atmosphere

Lovely little pub at top of a steep bank great friendly atmosphere nice sun trap beer garden

Good friendly service with a Mega selection of well kept beers

Good community atmosphere, great selection of craft and cask ales. Great place..

Fantastic craft & real-ale selections. Back outdoor section is great in the sun with plenty of seating. Very reasonable prices.

Interesting place bright and open

Lovely atmosphere today pop up BBQ with great food

Extra special place. The vibe and atmosphere makes perfect sense when you learn that about 500 people of the local community own it. The only community-owned pub in the Tyne Valley; and run by the fantastic Mick and Hannah. Plus great cask and keg beer and lager!!!! Plus a massive range of canned beer and lager! Plus great whisky!! Ask for Whisky of the Month or better still come to the Whisky Club, 7.30, second Wednesday of the month. £15, blind tasting four whiskies. Brilliant!

Lovely atmosphere. Great real ale range.

I'm slightly biased as I'm one of the hundreds of community shareholders who own the pub. The ever rotating beer selection is excellent, always something for cask and keg drinkers. The options for everyone else seem popular too. Regular pop up food vendors at the weekends but always reliable for a packet of crisps or two to wash down the pints. Keep a look out on the Facebook page for regular events and community activities. #Morethanapub

Great place, family friendly, really canny.

Lovely local with great selections. Only downside is that it always seems to be full of kids (no matter what time we go) which dampens the pub experience for us.

Fab comedy night on 17th March 2022. Comedians were excellent, friendly atmosphere and great range of drinks available.

Lovely little pub and brilliant upstairs for parties.

Lovely community run venue, friendly and clean and they love dogs. Good selection of IPAs and local brews

Brilliant community owned pub. Always a nice range of beers on at good prices.

This place has a real friendly vibe..great for a chill out after a long walk.p

A fantastic local pub, very friendly and family orientated. Lots of drink choices and a warm and comfortable environment. Also, dog friendly!

Perfect pub with the family or on your own. Really nicely refurbished,.and ran by a great team.

Great pub, amazing selection of ever changing beers. Definitely recommend.

From the outside it looks like a pub, inside it's a thriving community cafe. The beers I tried were good, but the atmosphere was lacking.

Really good service and excellent place

Nice friendly pub. Community ran with community atmosphere and great staff.

great pub excellent staff and beers great range. very impressive

Absolutely amazing pub , what a gem to have in Ryton offering a truly unique sense of community. The drinks offer is outstanding, with many ales being updated to freshen selection's, quite often (mainly over the week end) there's a street food outlet in the outdoor section, which is lovely when you've had a few beers! Overall 10/10

Great pub. Good choice of beers and friendly staff and locals

Needs to go back to traditional

Class community owned pub run by a lush couple of human beings serving well kept beer at great prices. If it was closer to home I’d be in every day.
