The Head Of Steam in Gateshead

Always, always our favourite place for eats and drinks. Lovely, lovely bar staff and very dog friendly too. We even enjoy the music here. So good in fact that we held my son's 18th birthday in a private seating area. Fabulous 👌

Very nice bar, very good selection of quality beers.Nice American style food menu.I had the dirty fries which were pretty good.Top tip for lunchtime, the fire specials come with a cheap pint, so well worth checking out before you order your drink. The steak sandwich (with skin on fries) was also very good.Tucked away off the quayside but well worth a visit.

Nice pub and plenty of seats / room. Food is good when I've had it before, but I've notice recently they have been slow in the kitchen and it was closed for food the other day when we popped in for a drink. Hope this issue with the kitchens is resolved as it's a canny pub with great vegan options for food.

Nice and dog-friendly location. Tasty beer and coffee.

Sat in the window overlooking the Millennium Walkway and had a couple of pints of Tiny Rebel Pelaton. Good location and plenty of interesting beers to choose from.

Sprawling layout with a great atmosphere. Railway theme, obviously. Massive choice of beer and lager. Really nice food.

Don’t bother with app - utter rubbish. Placed the order and then the app crashed. Was told the order hadn’t gone through so I just cancelled it. Checked my bank account two days later and I’ve been charged for food a didn’t receive. The service isn’t much better. Bar man swore at me because the beer I ordered needed changing. More than half the menu wasn’t available at 18:45 in the evening. Won’t be coming back here again.

Just called in on Wednesday afternoon for a drink and very much enjoyed the atmosphere, staff and refreshments. The menu has lots of vegan options which pleased the daughter. Never been here before but plan to return soon!Update: Jan 2022. Called in for Restaurant Week, the food was VERY average. HOS burger was like thick carpet - the last mouthful was hard to swallow, infact I'm really not sure what I swallowed! The fries were far too salty, cauli-wings had far too much sriracha sauce on it they couldn't be finished. To top it, we found pepperoni in our vegetarian nachos! Downgraded from 5 to 2 stars.We drove home agreeing not to talk anymore about it as it made us feel sick!I think the chef needs some training...

We were told to wait at the table until someone comes to take the order, noone came for 30 min, although they were cleaning the tables near by. No slight interest...then we asked at the counter if we can order a beer or something to drink finally and the lady said they are closing and nothing will be served. We waisted our time to learn they are closing!! Why noone told us before, why there was no information at the door about it etc?? Very poor, ignorant customer service.

Nice drinks (quite strong as well), the food is not bad but not a 5/5, but overall a nice variety and quite large portions. Some really nice tunes were on when we were there.
