The Bridge Tavern

The Bridge Tavern is located under the Tyne Bridge on the way down towards the Quayside.
Recently refurbished, in 2015, the interior is very tasteful, a mix of exposed brickwork, wood, and books! The atmosphere is very cosy and relaxed.
There is a large range of real ales on tap, and great emphasis is placed on the food, which I am informed is delicious.
The Bridge Tavern is also a micro-​brewery.

A little bit hipster but no bad thing, a great array of guest and resident beers, exposed ducting and conduits in an industrial style but with a nice touch of walls of books that reflect the sea going heritage of Newcastle.
Prices not to bad either for the more prestige ales and good for the standards.
You also have the Tyne bridge right over your head.

On June 12, 2015, we eagerly returned to The Bridge Tavern just off the quayside in Newcastle — we had enjoyed our visits last year and had treasured the memories between our two trips. Today we had a pint (or two), a special «light» and a special «main»… as usual, the two of us shared. We haven’t been disappointed with the specials here (numerous visits). Today we enjoyed the Keilder Venison Salad with Pickled Mushrooms and Wild Leeks (light) and the Roasted Lamb Rump with Grilled Gem Lettuce and Anchovies.
The food here is consistent and rarely are we less than thrilled. The service is typically spot on, we enjoy the upstairs lounge when the weather is nice. They have an extensive selection of cask ales and some are brewed in house. All in all, we’re fans.

Love it-​one of my favourite pubs in Newcastle! The Bridge Tavern is a really relaxed venue both for food and drinks with a lovely outdoor terrace upstairs… complete with heaters too which is always useful in the North. Excellent selection of drinks, great service and friendly staff! I’ve eaten here a couple of times and the food is delicious! Nothing fancy about the décor but lots of wooden tables and randomly an array of books as though you’re in a library to one side of the pub. Chilled out and highly recommended!

Really good smoking area, nice interior. Food is good too

nice little brew pub near the water in Newcastle.
They have a strong selection of draft beer and a pretty decent food menu.

One of my favourite pub/​bars. Great drink selection and really good feel to the place. We’ve tried the bar menu and the main menu both were good.

Just coming back to say the food is really good too! They’ve recently changed their menu, but I know that I enjoyed the crab toast with curry mayonnaise last time I was there. Lots of good bar snacks. This continues to be one of our favorite places in town!
