Right on the riverside, as the name suggests, you can find the charming building that is The Quayside. There are more tables upstairs if you can't find a seat immediately (just follow the sign upstairs to the 'Ladies' to find more available).
It is fairly dark downstairs even though the electric lights are blazing, especially in the little nook tucked away to one side of the long bar. That said, to my mind this Wetherspoons is really one for a sunny day where you want to sit outside. There's seating to the river front of the building but most outdoor seatig can be found between the two red roofs of the Quayside. This courtyard with long tables, some under canvas, can be accessed via the building or from the back of the property along the parallel road.
As for the facilities, the ladies as mentioned previously is as often is the case, upstairs. The door leading to the accessible toilet and gents is to the far side of the bar, though the gents is not also downstairs as this suggests but up a different staircase.
Gorgous frontage on the river side. Looks like and is an oldy worldy pub with thick stone walls and inside are beutiful beamed ceilings upstairs. Prettiest spoons(externally, riverside) I've visited 💖 yet. Lovely friendly ☺️ staff🏆🎉🎈🥇. Ladies 🚺 loos are upstairs and far away...🙈🏃♀️🧗♀️🏋♀️😂😂.
It's a nice bar right on the Newcastle quayside. It's great value for money and offers plenty of choice of good quality food. The service was good for such a busy place. The staff were polite and friendly. We sat upstairs in a nice room overlooking the river. Thanks.
A very friendly and really big 'Spoon' but with this sth - climatic. The location at the river Tyne is stunning. Nearby all these important, beautiful and different bridges just awesome. Moreover, one of the best fish & chips I've eaten in spoons. During the matches (like vs Villa) the atmosphere is fantastic. Staff helpful. Really great.
Ganz toller Pub in super gemütlichen Ambiente. Der Pub liegt direkt am Fluß in einem alten Gebäude. Im Sommer gibt es einen sehr gemütlichen Außenbereich und das Lokal wirkt sehr einladend und urig durch die Lichterketten und die älteren Gemäuer.
Das Essen ist typisch wie man es aus den Weatherspoonpubs kennt und die Getränkepreise mehr als fair. Für britische Verhältnisse sind sowohl Speisen wie auch Getränke preiswert.
Bestellt wird entweder direkt an der Bar oder über eine App. Wir bevorzugen immer die Bestellung über die App. Diese ist sehr zuverlässig und man sieht auch gleich alle Menüs, die es im Angebot gibt.
Der Tennesseeburger sowie der Nachtisch waren 1a und super für Pubfood. Bier und die Pitcher Pimms waren wie immer einwandfrei.
Besonderes plus ist das sehr urige und zweistöckige Ambiente. Sehr gemütlich. Der Service war die ganze Zeit über freundlich und die Sanitäranlagen sind riesig groß und sehr sauber.
Eine ganz klare Empfehlung für Newcastles Abende.

Really great pub in a super cozy atmosphere. The pub is located right on the river in an old building. In summer there is a very cozy outdoor area and the restaurant looks very inviting and rustic thanks to the fairy lights and the older walls.
The food is typical as you would expect from the Weatherspoonpubs and the drink prices are more than fair. Both food and drinks are reasonably priced by British standards.
You can order either directly at the bar or via an app. We always prefer ordering via the app. This is very reliable and you can see all the menus that are on offer straight away.
The Tennessee burger and the dessert were top notch and great for pub food. Beer and the Pitcher Pimms were impeccable as always.
A special plus is the very rustic and two-story atmosphere. Very cozy. The service was friendly all the time and the sanitary facilities are huge and very clean.
A very clear recommendation for Newcastle's evenings.
Pub in a very old traditional style building overlooking the Tyne. Staff are always very nice and friendly. Great atmosphere. The food is fine but don’t be expecting fancy dishes.
Was under refurbishment when we visited and ale selection was limited for a Spoons. However, spent a good hour taking a break whilst exploring Newcastle's attractions.
It was the best place to have a photo taken holding a Bottle of Dog (Newcastle Brown Ale) With the Tyne Bridge in the background.
Have to explain what a Bottle of Dog is because the Newcastle young apparently don't know! Lol
You'll find it hard to get better value for money than Westherspoons pubs. On this city break it was ideal for a good breakfast. A regular English fried breakfast with unlimited coffee or tea was £5.95. Very quiet when we arrived just after 8.00am but by the time we left it was quietly busy. The location is right by the Tyne and the building might have been a rambling farmhouse in days gone by with small rooms and cosy corners. Just what we needed first thing in a morning. After sightseeing late afternoon we git into the habit of calling in for a glass of something relaxing before continuing to the Travelodge almost next door.
Nice place to have a brunch and the price is reasonable. You know…, it’s wetherspoon!
Been a while since I've been here. Love them or hate them; this is still a great pub since my last visit over 20 years ago.
6 of us, we had full sized meals, side orders, and drinks. £68 where else would you get that. All good and nothing wasted.
Until next time...
One standout feature at the Quayside JD Wetherspoon is its seamless ordering system via the app. On a bustling Saturday morning, my companions and I decided to kick-start our day at this popular spot. The ability to order from the app proved to be a game-changer, especially amidst the frenzy of match day.
Despite the rush, we found a cozy spot and settled in for breakfast. The food met our expectations; it was satisfying without being exceptional. From classic English breakfast options to lighter fare, there was something for everyone.
The app streamlined our dining experience, allowing us to browse the menu, place our orders, and even pay without the hassle of flagging down a waiter. This not only saved us time but also minimized disruptions to the staff, who were already managing a busy match day crowd.
Service, while still stretched thin due to the rush of patrons, remained efficient and courteous. Despite the occasional delay, the staff managed to navigate the crowd admirably, ensuring that orders were delivered promptly.
The ambiance was lively, with the energy of fellow diners adding to the experience. Despite the crowds, we were able to enjoy our meal and converse comfortably.
Overall, the Quayside JD Wetherspoon provided a satisfying breakfast experience, with the added convenience of seamless ordering via the app. If you're in the area and looking for a hassle-free dining experience, especially on busy days, this is definitely worth a visit.
A great example of a good Wetherspoon pub
This one is right on the riverside and really beautiful
Great staff and great service 👍
Regular place to visit with friends and family. Location and staff being the reason this venue chosen over other Wetherspoons in town.
I find the service here great. Staff friendly and always try to sort out any issues quickly (experienced and observed)
Food price and quality is as expected in a the chain (although the porridge could have been served with a knife and fork 🤣)
Drink prices and choice is spot on.
Great location! Friendly staff happy to help, clean and tidy. Speedy service on bar and food! Would definitely recommend!
What a great lovely place this is. It is little walk down from monument metro station and from the local bus service but we'll worth the walk down on a lovely day, actually central station metro station is closer. The people were lovely and friendly,the place itself was nice and clean. Has two beer gardens, one out front the other out through the back. If its not a nice day inside to eat is just as nice. The food was lovely and at affordable prices. I will definitely be back and have recommended to my family and friends already. They have accessible entrance but I don't know about accessible toilets. The toilets were nice and clean, up some stairs 😊x
Just love this place. The view and ambience is stunning. It’s a must have experience to sit outside with some beer and good food. It’s a very fine spot to chill after a busy day or catch up with friends. They always have amazing deals on food and drinks. We had a special meal of chicken tikka with pappadum , rice and naan it was really worth the price.
Popped in for a drink when we had some time to kill. Large pub in what looks like an old warehouse. Great location right on the river. Outdoor seating by the river and another large area in an internal courtyard, as well as plenty of seating indoors. Pleasant stop to get some refreshment.
Absolutely rammed, we went upstairs and found a table, a lone barman was there and he was so friendly and helpful despite being so obviously so busy. Spoke briefly to manager and gave same feedback. Made us feel welcome and valued. Thank you...
Popped into The Quayside for a pint of Belgian blonde beer while out walking along Newcastle's Quayside. It was a sunny day, so I sat on the terrace and enjoyed the view of the river while supping my pint.
