The new decor in my opinion lacks an interjection of colour and character that I would have hoped for but it's simplicity may appeal to others. Sampled the food here on a couple of occasions and it was nice but nothing to shout home about. It is also quite quiet during the week and can sometimes lack in atmosphere. That said....the staff are all very friendly and helpful so cannot find fault there. They also have a fantastic selection of beers on offer so a good destination for any craft beer fans out there. Absolutely LOVE the 'poison cabinet' room downstairs that has a prohibition style feel to it, open on weekend nights only. These sort of rooms appear to be all the rage in Newcastle at the mo! You have to head downstairs as though you are heading to the toilet (strange I know) and it is hidden behind a black door! Definitely worth a visit!

I've eaten at Bierrex two or three times now, including at their launch party, and I think our…read moreoverall opinion is that it's really a better place to drink! They have a great, sunny bar area with a huge chalkboard menu of interesting beer options. I've been here for drinking events, and the atmosphere is great. They also have a tiny, hidden back patio with heat lamps, and some kind of secret downstairs bar too. I don't know why it isn't busier when we go - people are really missing a trick if they're skipping this place for drinks. Last time we came, we got two BBQ combo plates. You cannot argue that this is an amazing deal - two meat and two sides for £10! Between us and our two plates, we got brisket, St Louis ribs, chicken wings, and pulled pork, as well as mac 'n' cheese, collard greens, super slaw (which has lots of healthy things in it, yogurt instead of mayo, beetroot, etc), and sweet potato fries. Our overall impression was - better than Hop N Cleaver, and MUCH cheaper, but still leaving something to be desired for an American and her BBQ-loving Brit. I'd argue the sides are the best bit - love the mac 'n' cheese, it's got four cheeses in and smoky bacon bits and you can really taste complex, interesting flavours. It isn't just noodles and cheddar. Makes a massive difference. The collard greens are excellent but always too salty - we keep forgetting to ask if they can turn that down a notch, they'd be perfect otherwise. I like the nice healthy slaw, much more creative than the usual. The meats were less impressive, sadly - they were fine, but a little dry, a little plain. Chicken wings a massive improvement on Hop 'n' Cleaver though. It just isn't as good as it should be. Service can be touch and go - a bit inattentive at times. We spilled a glass of wine almost immediately after it was brought, and while they cleaned it up and offered me another glass, they totally forgot to bring it. It wasn't even that busy in there, people walked by my table loads of times without remembering. So there's some room to improve on that front. Come here to drink though, and you've definitely got the right idea. They get an extra star for being a great bar. Wish the food was just a bit better! I still think it's the best BBQ in Newcastle, mainly for the sides, but I've tried all the competition and haven't really been wowed by any.

We had booked a table for 6pm however arrived slightly late due to the bad weather (I believe Hurricane Kate is the culprit!) However, we were sat quickly and when telling our server we had limited time due to our cultural theatre trip it was recommended that we keep away from the signature curries as they take time to cook through. We started with a bottle of prosecco (this is getting predictable now?) and opted to share the bombay bombs and hara chicken parchey to start. The bombay bombs were delicious filled with mashed potatoes and a homemade sauce they were incredibly flavoured! The chicken arrived looked a cool shade of green with a yogurt dip it was also delicious. Next I opted for the burgh tikka makhani masala which was a butter based rich tomato curry with plenty of succulent chicken. With a side of mushroom pilau (one portion is enough for two really!) and a side of tandoori roti I mopped up every last bit of the rich sauce! Competing the meal was the standard cosmo which I ALWAYS get when I go here as it has a nice twist on the original. I must say the lamb railway curry is still my favourite however I am yet to try their signature Korma so watch this space!

I probably would have actually passed this place by had I not had the Yelp-knowledge I now have (Muhahaha!) as it does not look particularly 'stunning' from the outside and it's situated in a part of town surrounded by lots of kebab shops and other such take-away joints, but i TRUSTED the Yelpers not to do me wrong so in we went... Must admit we got a wee shock upon entering - it's rather teeny downstairs and we did not realise there WAS an upstairs *gulp* Wishing we'd booked a table now we approached the waitress; 'Table for 2? Have you booked?' 'No...' 'No problem, follow me' and upstairs we went, cue huge sigh of relief (I didn't have a safe back-up plan had they been fully booked) We were seated and given menus. Having never eaten Persian food before I didn't know quite what to expect, but again I trusted the good Yelpers! For starters we chose the Dolmeh (stuffed vine leaves) to share and for main I opted for the Joojeh, which is chargrilled & marinated chicken breast chunks, with rice and a nan bread. The Boy chose the Fesenjan - a chicken breast stew with a pomegranate & walnut sauce and rice also. Service was swift but not rushed and the Dolmeh were delicious. The main courses we had were both very very tasty ~ my chicken was melt-in-the-mouth and the Boy's stew was so tasty. The rice & nan were both also very good and the surroundings were pleasant indeed. Staff were friendly and efficient and it was very reasonably priced. All in all we had a great meal. Deffo be back if I'm in the Newcastle again. Just wish they had this restaurant in Glasgow.

All the meat was juicy and delicious! - Stew of lamb, spinach and prunes - The lamb was really tender and went well with the stew. - Stew of chicken, crushed walnuts and pomegranate - this was sweet, and a new flavour for me, but really tasty. The deserts were all amazing too... although I can't remember which three we tried! The night we ate here was Persian new year, so the staff had all their party food and drinks laid out ready for their celebration after the customers went home.
