Eat and Drink

Top-notch spots to eat, drink and meet

We’ve got six buzzing bars, a cosy café and our in-house Brasserie – all under one iconic roof. Whether you’re after a pre-gig pint, a post-class snack or a catch-up with friends, drop by and make yourself at home.

And the best bit? We’re a charity so every bite, brew and beverage you buy helps support The Glasshouse, keeping music accessible to all. Cheers to that.

Café

We’re here for early risers, matinee-goers, last-minute snackers and everything in between. Think barista-made coffee, golden pastries, crisp seasonal salads and sandwiches stacked fresh.

Bars

We’ve got five bars and a proper pub to explore. Expect craft beers, great wines and local pours – with views that only get better the higher you go.

Drink in the details

Proper local

We’re proud to work with local breweries, distilleries and producers to serve up authentic North East flavours in every bite and sip. Think gins distilled in the heart of the city, ales inspired by Northern landmarks and dishes made with the freshest seasonal ingredients around.

Proper good

It’s about looking after where we all call home too. We reduce waste where we can, use plant-based packaging and when waste does happen, make sure it’s processed into something useful. Curious to know more?

Drink in the details

  • Bars open two hours before showtime, so there’s plenty of time to grab a pre-show tipple
  • Fancy skipping the queues? Pre-order your interval drinks at any Stage Bar before the show starts and we’ll have them ready and waiting
  • Just a heads-up: if you’re on Level 2 or above (that goes for both our halls – Sage One and Sage Two) it’s capped plastic bottles only up there.
  • Show your ticket at our ground floor bars for 10% off drinks in the 30 minutes after the show
What’s pouring?
  • Enjoy pints, bottles and cans from local legends like Tyne Bank Brewery, Hadrian Border Brewery and Molson Coors
  • From crisp whites to velvety reds, we’ve got a glass (or bottle) to match your mood
  • Sip on smooth whiskeys, local botanical gins and of course a splash of rum or tequila
  • We’ve got 0% options that still hit the spot, including alcohol-free beers, wines, ciders and spirits like Sipsmith 0%
