If you're looking for a bit of glamour this is the place!! Having only been open a few weeks and…read morebeing an avid wine drinker I felt an obligation to check out this new swanky champagne and whiskey bar so I put on my posh frock, high heels and sparkly jewellery, to make sure I looked the part, and headed out. Very elegantly decorated with classical black and white contrast and ornate chandeliers, in keeping with the desired contemporary glamour and ambience of the bar. There is also an outdoor cigar terrace if that takes your fancy so it's definitely a throwback to the decadent 1920's! Excellent selection of drinks but some can be relatively pricey (particularly their speciality drinks but this would be expected). A glass of champagne starts at £6.90 and whiskeys or draught beers from £4.20. Wine is the usual price for city centre indulgence. The cocktail list looked really interesting and I'd be keen to sample next visit! The only criticism I currently have is the lack of seating or even perches for your drinks....lots of people left standing which seems to work in a pub but takes the shine off this bar. Maybe it's worth a visit midweek as I did attend on a busy Saturday night. Also bear in your mind your attire as it's certainly not the destination of choice if you're a jeans and boots girl like me!

Had a couple of drinks here on Boxing Day. Great little find…read more Pretty good selection of wine and beers. The food we tried (free samples brought with drinks) was very tasty! Would definitely go back for drinks and a proper meal again.

We walked over to Dacantus on a Friday afternoon, this is a gin bar recommended by Johnny and Chris…read moreat The Botanist (feels funny saying Gin Bar, like Carrie Nation and the Prohibitionists are going to come charging through the door and challenge my femininity and sobriety). Out of curiosity... I made a note to look up the meaning of Dacantus (this is a Spanish place, only one person working here (the bartender when we arrived) isn't Spanish) - the closest I could get was "wine aerator" but I think that's because there's a wine aerator branded Decantus. We'd never seen Beefeater 24, so hubs ordered one with grapefruit and cardamon garnish and Fever Tree Light Tonic £6.50. When hubs tasted this, he said "wow" very softly and his eyes lit up. I had Bombay Sapphire with juniper berries and lemon peel and Slim Schweppes Tonic £5.95. They really twisted those peels to get as much aromatic oil out of them as possible (and they did it with two sets of tongs, not their bare fingers). The cardamon was a ground spice. The ice was very large - less dilution of the cocktails. I liked the juniper berries quite a bit. We were offered an aperitif to accompany our gin & tonics, chicken in a mustard sauce, quite tasty. Then we ordered the pork cubes. Not at all what we expected! It was a larger portion and the food was universally delicious! We'll be back in summer of 2016!

My husband and I went here twice in a Saturday night we liked it so much! First we went earlier in…read morethe night, around 10:30pm, where it was crowded but not overwhelming so. A HUGE pour of wine (no measurement yay!!) was only a little more than a fiver- I'm used to the same price for half that glass in London! The bartender was helpful and cheerful and the music was not too loud to block out convo. After pregaming we went to Soho Rooms next door to dance for a few hours and then came back for another round at The Vineyard as it was playing Latin music (yes!!) and there was some dancing. No cover either time. We left after a while but had such a good time.

My friend Butcher introduced me to The Vineyard four or five years ago - and rather than being…read moremesmorised by the selection of beers (Duvel). I was mesmorised by the fucking toilets. Srsly, it's like walking into the set of some fucking Hollywood epic or some shit. When you walk in - you half expect to see Peter O' Toole as Lawrence of Arabia leaning over the grandiose urinals holding his errrr - bottle of Duvel. It's definitely some experience. Hennyway. Apart from the toilets, and not exactly having a massive variety of beers to choose from, aswell as the place being small, and being prone to fill up EXTREMELY quickly. This place has a wonderful charm, which it would be fantastic if half of the overly pretentious Newcastle bars could replicate. Highly recommended. Four stars.

Similar to Mr Lynch in that it has a great atmosphere and the decor is a mish mash of colours where vintage meets modern! Although it does attract the students....if you're not don't let this put you off as it can be nice and quiet during the week. The food is fantastic and excellent value for money. They also have daily happy hours on drinks as well as 2 cocktails for £5 on a Monday night!! The staff aren't always the quickest or the friendliest but can't fault the drinks. I've been to the quiz a couple of times which is on a Tuesday and Thursday night. Really good fun.....the most random questions I've ever come across mind!! we had a whole round related to cats and dogs so an example question was 'which breed of dogs have black tongues?' The only frustrating thing is that the quiz master doesn't read out the answers which is normally the fun part of the quiz when you laugh at your own inaccuracies!! Perhaps the only reason why Nancy's gets a 4 instead of a 5! If you're ever towards Manors direction this bar is worth a visit!!

He is sadly no longer with us, but after a stay on the hottest days last summer, I know staff worked long and hard to keep everything cool. Also, after lockdowns, when kennels everywhere were full, and I didn't know when exactly I needed to travel, due to a family emergency, Ryan offered to find my dog a place whenever I needed, and followed through. It was one less thing for me to worry about, and I was very touched by their kindness. So I really can't speak more highly of everyone here.

If there is a better restaurant in Newcastle right now I would love to try it. The lunch we had on…read morea Tuesday afternoon was one of the best meals I've had, ever, in Newcastle. If I were a certain 21 guy I'd be worried. Dover sole was excellent, as was the proper beef filet. The cheese souffle was wonderful and the special request regarding its serving set up was met because they are freshly made, unlike others in town who make them in advance. The bar is a very pretty and inviting room and we couldn't find fault with a thing during our extended luncheon. Aaaand, they allow well behaved dogs in the lovely bar. Highly recommend!

Located on Front Street in Tynemouth this is one of the quieter bars - there seems to have been an influx of people hoarding to Tynemouth in the last few years and from a Friday through to Sunday you will be lucky to find a bar that isn't packed to the rafters! This is therefore my "go to place" with a small seating area out the front and inside this place is more of a wine shop however there is more than meets the eye! They serve most of their wines by the glass and once ordering you take a seat and they bring the drinks out to you. The best thing about this place; the small pot of crisps they bring out to you. It's probably better to describe them as small sticks but it goes so well with the wine it's a good combo! Bonus? If you are enjoying the wine so much you can purchase a sneaky bottle or two to take home!

Staff were great, happy to chat about the culture of the food (if you want to) and happy to teach some basic Spanish if you are up for the challenge. The food, well it was amazing. The choices were great, a real cross selection they also did a black rice paella (died with squid ink) only seen that in Valencia so was great to try. Taste wise everything was spot on, Spanish food cooked in a traditional way. Could have easily have been in a decent place in Spain. Price was great, even got a card for 50% off via a postcard for them to post to a friend/family member. (Or You was even allowed) Over all I honestly don't have a bad or passive word to say about the place, food, staff or prices. One of my first suggestions when people ask about anywhere to eat.
