Newcastle Riverside Reviews

Really good reggaeton parties!! Wish it could go until 5 or 6am

Loved the seating area with the fire pits and a beautiful view. Very well organised with table service and contact less payment. We will definitely be returning soon.

Had a great time for my first trip out of lockdown and some good laughs with friends. Service Great and drinks on draught were decent. However the outdoor seats were uncomfortable.

Popular place for all ages, place looks like a massive pop up bar with classier festival toliets, right on the waterfront, lovely views, lager in plastic tumblers due to covid

Seen frank carter and the rattlesnakes here and was great. Great security who didnt get arsey with crow surfers. Spot on!

Good venue, a little small for the amount of tickets they sell.

Excellent venue for gigs with great atmosphere. Easy to see the stage wherever you stand and with seating on the balcony.

Great venue for live music ,but once again ran out of all draft drinks then ran out of bottles and cans.when they did try and use a pump they didn't have a clue how to regulate the gas.this should never happen,It's putting some people off going.

A great place to see live music, large enough to get a good crowd in yet it still feels intimate like a smaller venue.

Small venue. Nice balcony. Music is a bit rubbish though

Amazing set by runners but who ever organised this event was massively lacking... Shame I left when runners finished it was unfair their set was cut short x

Has reopened but with COVID it is now only an outdoor bar. It has had a good makeover and is a nice place to visit! Very well done and it serves Camden hells beer. Winner

the venue is nice, but beer selection is rather mediocre...

Sound was great, not the best of layout for gigs though

The place is a dive. No ice, plastic glasses for all drinks. Avoid the place!

A great venue, I have seen some great bands here and the sound quality is good.

Fantastic friendly place ! We called for coffee and cake and will certainly be back X

Excellent small venue for live bands ... Stage height is perfect for viewing the band and the sound was awesome.

Good venue with upper floor overlooking the act. Drinks prices on the hefty side and don't get me started about parking nearby! Friendly staff.

Great small venue with some amazing bands, many from my era so great to get close up, love the place can't say a bad thing as a venue

Great for watching a live band but over inflated drinks prices.
No draught beers on when we visited and expensive cans and bottles that were 2-3 times more than the shops.

Too noisy, too much traffic and too many people walking about

Great tunes, but you need to take out a mortgage to buy drinks.

Had a brilliant time there 12th Jan slightly marred by the long wait at the bar

Disappointed by the lack of food after 7.00 midweek.

Good performers on. Decent size.. could do with some TLC

Terrible door staff, strange venue with terrible overpriced drinks. Will only attend again if I reat have to. 100% would not recommend.

Great venue but far too packed for future heads gig

You can tell this place has seen some cool sights and it is intimate but the floors were disgustingly sticky and the ladies toilets were beyond revolting. There are far better gig venues in the nortb east.

Great place to party and drink. Only problem is the space. Not spacious though.

Good venue, nice staff only downside was price of drinks.

First time there the other week (amazingly). Great venue. I don't drink and it was a solo jaunt; free soda water is always a good sign. Nice balcony upstairs for those of us too old for the mosh pit. Space at the back for those of us who are tall, old and like to lean. Great location down on the Quayside too, nr the swing bridge

Nice venue and easy to get to from the train station (10 min walk). We've been to a death metal concert in this venue and the acoustics was really nice and enjoyabe.

Great venue great sound - drink selection could be improved.

Really cool space. Big enough for some well known bands and small enough for not so well known.

Pale White Awesome. Twin Atlantic just blew me away

Excellent, the old riverside was dingy and dirt the ideal venue for bands like mega city four and therapy. Sadly that's gone replaced with a newer cleaner venue. Small queue to get in great sound. Would recommend this place.

I was in the R2 a small upstairs bar venue. That said the sound was excellent and suitability loud enough for a Heavy Metal (Thrash) gig. I had a bottle of cider that was reasonably priced. A pleasant evening. I will go back should I be in the area again and there is a suitable band playing. Maybe in R1 if I'm lucky!

It grows on me every time I go. It's a great venue. Steve Mason tonight. Excellent.

Authentic pub with great selection of beers and splendid views of the City and river Tyne

Decent venue, first visit and not too much to complain about.

Realy enjoyed it reminded me of ravein wen a was young

My son had a gig here. Great place for rock and metal music. Very loud though. Bands here play there own stuff.
