Top-notch spots to eat, drink and meet
We’ve got six bars, a café, and a restaurant – all with absolutely smashing riverside views of the Newcastle skyline. So whether you’re looking for a drink before a gig, a snack after your class, or just a place to catch up with friends, you’re sorted.
We use delicious locally sourced, seasonal ingredients whenever we can. And we can cater for personal and religious dietary requirements – take a look at our menus or speak to a member of the team if you want to know more.

Our Café
Settle in with a drink (hot or cold), one of our fresh-made sandwiches, soups, or salads, or something tasty and warming from our hot food menu whenever and whatever you’re here for.

Our Bars
The bars open whenever there’s a performance. We start serving two hours before the gig or concert gets going, then last orders are 30 minutes after the show ends. (And if you fancy a late one, any drinks you order in that half hour are 10% off.)
Avoid the interval queues by pre-ordering your drinks before the show. Simply place your order at the bar, and your drinks will be ready for you during the interval. This service is available on select nights, so ask a team member for more details.
Something special

Blooms and Brews
Saturday 29 – Sunday 30 March
We’ve teamed up with Under The Ivy to bring you the ultimate Mother’s Day pick-me-up. Freshly brewed Ringtons drinks, hand-crafted bouquets and that delightful mix of floral notes and warming sips.
Available all weekend, with handy carriers to take your little beauty home.

Oh help! Oh yum! It’s a Gruffalo brunch.
April 15 – April 16
We’re serving up monstrously delicious dishes, perfect for little mice and mighty Gruffalos alike, all inspired by the much-loved Gruffalo tale. From scrambled snake, terrible teeth and owl ice cream, munch your way through the deep dark wood – if you dare!
Drink in some homegrown talent
Loads of our alcoholic drinks come from people like Molson Coors and Hadrian Border Brewery – who name all their beers after places between here and the Scottish Border. We also have a selection of 0% drinks including Sipsmith 0% gin, wine, beer and cider.
Our coffee is all from Ringtons, a family business who’ve been keeping Newcastle caffeinated for over 100 years. And everyone’s go-to interval snack is Doddington Dairy’s flavour-packed ice-cream, handmade with full-cream milk from Northumberland’s friendliest cows.
