Newcastle Tap in Gateshead

Ah, Newcastle Tap – what a gem it is for anyone who loves a good pint in a lively setting. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, this place really shines with its massive array of beers and ciders; imagine having 24 lines on tap, including those rare cask ales that are becoming harder to find these days. Pair that with their homemade pizzas using that special beer dough, and you've got yourself a right tasty combo that's drawn in plenty of positive vibes from visitors. The location's spot on too, just across from the station, making it an easy stop for a quick drink or a relaxed evening. The team behind the bar seems genuinely clued up and friendly, always ready to recommend something new or help you navigate the menu. But, let's be fair, it's not all perfect – some folks have noted the music cranks up a bit too high, which could spoil the chat if you're out for a mellow night. And there are occasional gripes about the food not always living up to expectations, like when extras don't quite deliver as promised. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for us pub goers looking for a welcoming spot with great brews, as long as you go in with realistic expectations and maybe plan for a quieter visit if that's your thing.
