A really classy place to have a drink and try some of the real gins of the world. It's unreal just how many combinations of gin, tonics and accompanying ingredients they have and it's good value for money. We also got some of the best tapas I've ever had free with each round of drinks we bought.
Avoid the riff raff and duck in here and you won't regret it.
We will be back.
So glad we discovered this place on a rainy Easter Saturday. Over 500 gins! Would have loved to sit there for a few weeks trying them all! The tapas was tasty; the service and staff were great; and the best selection of gins I have seen. If you love gin, this is the only place to go! Also there was a 'gins of the day" menu which we thought was good value, but all the gins were reasonably priced. If ever in Newcastle again I will definitely go back...for longer! Ideal location if you are waiting for a train as not very far from the main railway station.
We arranged to meet friends at the Continental for a 50th birthday celebration. It was booked a couple of months before, and the manager got in touch to finalise details two days before the event. Paloma was very friendly, professional and accommodating. When we arrived everything was ready. The drinks and many tapas we’d ordered were fabulous. The service was very friendly, attentive and efficient. Food was superb and the range of gins and other drinks ( should you not like gin) was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble, and we wouldn’t hesitate to go there again, or recommend them to others. Thank you very much Paloma and all your staff.
I walked into this bar convinced I didn't like gin! Happy to admit I was wrong. What a fabulous bar. Highly recommend this place. We were served by a lovely chap from Malaga....I wish I could remember his name but I blame the gin ��
What a find! Here for the night and although I love gin I'm not a lover of pubs... this place is named a gin palace but it's also gin heaven... Amazing tastes combinations food staff service ald overall experience
Thank you �

Popped in for a cocktail and ending up spending the whole evening there. Absolutely fantastic cocktails made by the manager, Connor, who is an absolute master. Great conversation too, really made our night. Paul Reed provided the music, really talented musician and singer.
First time at the Continental but definitely won't be the last.
First time in the Continental. Meeting friends before a meal
Great range of Gins and spirits
Mostly bottled beer but draught lager available San Miguel I believe
Friendly atmosphere
Trip to rest rooms is an experience and quite an eerie route deep below the bar. Quite exciting. To make it clear toilets are clean and well maintained btw

Amazing venue that we found by accident when walking past. Really friendly staff and great choice of interesting cocktails. Ended up staying longer than intended as the live music was brilliant. Will defo be back.
Awesome cocktails. Each was a work of art. Bring your Instagram
Escaped work drinks and found salvation in a glass. Lovely atmosphere. Very Newcastle. A hidden gem.
Probably the most sophisticated bar in Newcastle, with staff that whos knowledge rivals any of other bars. More choices here than the European Elections and more that matter, a wonderful place to indulge in fantastic drinks with ambiance that makes it worth it. A Gem
Beautiful little bar with a fantastic Gin menu. Had a range of guns and all beautifully presented and tasty and good value.
Wonderful atmosphere and gigantic selection of gin & tonics, don't miss the “millions“ of gins in the fine print on the menu!
Very nice place.
Great for gin lovers.
Strange flavours on paper but actually taste very nice, great bar to visit and will definitely return on a trip to Newcastle.
Absolutely great little bar, the cocktail menu is quite small but every one I tried was delicious, and made by great bar staff (once I was able to get served). I'm normally not a fan of live entertainment in bars but the lad they had on when I was there was exceptional
This is consistently great. Fantastic staff, can't do enough to make your visit pleasurable. Tappas is excellent...gins are exceptional. Great value for money if you choose the 2 for £10/ £15 options other special gin menu. I love the place, relaxing, chill out and a great place to chat.
