About This Pub
Ah, The Metropole in Gateshead – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper community spot, you know? I have to say, the prices on drinks are spot on, so you can enjoy a pint or two without worrying about the wallet. The staff and regulars seem really approachable, and they've got little touches like card bingo that make evenings more fun. It's got that solid 4.2 rating, which speaks to the good times folks have had. But let's be honest, it's not all roses; I've heard a few tales of drinks not tasting quite right, and the place can feel a bit worn with sticky floors and a downbeat atmosphere now and then. Still, if you're after an inexpensive local haunt, it's worth popping in for a try – just keep an eye on what you're ordering to avoid any disappointments.

What a dive, proper sticky carpets and a very depressing atmosphere. Baby
Good people, good owners and a nice clean pub that was a pleasure to have visited.
Great pub play card bingo mondays good prices on drinks nice people lovely atmosphere be calling in again
Me and my friend visited for a few drinks on Tuesday we ordered pints from the bar and they were disgusting tasted like soda water and line cleaner, safe to say we won’t be back we took the pints back to the bar and we were given a replacement which wasn’t any better we should have asked for a refund really but we just left and we won’t be back, avoid at all costs.
Bar is okay, location is fine, crowd is mixed. I wasn't happy that they were selling out of date bottles of Sol (Mid December) for full price, most places would stop selling or at least offer it at a reduction.
