The Forth in Gateshead

Fantastic friendly staff, excellent atmosphere & selection food & drinks, love this place, check out the secret garden upstairs too.

I recently visited The Forth Bar, and I have to say, the experience was made even better thanks to Tom, the fantastic manager. From the moment we arrived, Tom ensured everything ran smoothly, greeting customers with a warm and welcoming attitude. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the evening, making sure both the staff and guests were well taken care of. Tom’s knowledge of the menu and drinks selection was impressive, and he went above and beyond to accommodate our group’s preferences. He checked in regularly to ensure we were happy with our food and drinks while maintaining a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about providing top-quality service, and his leadership reflects in the efficiency and friendliness of the entire team. The Forth Bar itself has a great vibe, but it’s people like Tom who make it stand out. His excellent customer service, ability to handle a busy venue with ease, and his approachable nature truly elevate the experience. If you’re looking for a place with a great atmosphere and top-notch service, I highly recommend The Forth Bar – and make sure to say hello to Tom!

Paulicarus had to walk ten yards to his next pub, a beer Marque pub. Only a couple of real ales on out of four handpumos but St Austell Proper Job Pale Ale is a favourite. Rosie's Pig cider as well. Lots of standing space for busy times and surprisingly large pub with hidden rooms and an upstairs beer terrace. Toilets upstairs. Wife tells me lots of (7) ladies cubicles. Food served.

Superb Christmas buffet, cosy pub with friendly staff! I recently hired the space (Tommy Burns room) for a festive family gathering. From the very first email the staff were super friendly and helpful (Tom and Laura) answering all my questions. There were plenty of options on the Christmas buffet menu for meat-eaters and vegans and all absolutely delicious. All who attended were blown away by the food. I will definitely be returning…. the vegan cheesecake was to die for! The pub has a lovely cosy atmosphere and great music. We were able to request songs through the ‘Secret DJ’ app which was brilliant. Thanks to all at The Forth!!

Great pub a little hidden away but super close too the station. Very welcoming of dogs; blankets, treats and water all freely available. Nice selection of beer and a fabulous crispy chicken burger for me. Spot on place for drinks and a bite with friends!
