Geek Retreat in Newcastle upon Tyne

I'm a regular customer who has felt incredibly welcomed by all the new atmosphere staff since Covid. I am most excited when I order my usual cheeseburger and see that Craig is making it. Everyone does it good but that man makes a mean burger combo

Getting served by Ryan on YuGiOh Thursday always makes my day better. Such lovely customer service and makes the overall experience of geek retreat so much better. Such an asset to the team :)

Been coming to geek for a while now, it’s a great place to socialise and play games. Toni has always been a very friendly staff member and Whenever I’ve been there she’s always recommend good games to play and food to try!

Great chilled atmosphere on Thursdays for weekly Yu-Gi-Oh! Events. Stores TO Ryan makes it an enjoyable experience and helps keep things running smoothly. Heavily recommended for anything Yu-Gi-Oh! based.

Great experience. Wanted to purchase magic the gathering cards to play with friends so came to the store to checkout products, I didn't know what to look for but a staff member called Erin helped me find what I was looking for and they ended up making me a really delicious coffee too. Overall a great experience and I'll be back to try one of the events I was told about for magic too!

Went in with my partner and our 4 kids. Em was fantastic at taking awkward food orders and ensuring everyone was happy. Will definitely be back next time we're up north!

A great atmosphere! Without a doubt the BEST Geek Retreat experience I have ever had all THANKS to Ryan, a staff member at the store. Thank you for managing the Yu-Gi-Oh! Events! :)

Just want to say a huge thanks to Erin for being so friendly and helping me find exactly what I needed. This was the first time I’d visited Geek Retreat and I’ll definitely be back!

We booked a table for six too play Magic, was pretty disappointing that we were given a small table in front of the entrance, so when ever someone walked in you got a nice chilling gust of wind. Luckily at the back a big group were leaving so we quickly snatched up the table which was better suited for six people. We all ordered food at the same time and it all arrived together thumbs up for the staff, but the food wasn't great at all. Chips were soggy and hadn't been cooked long enough, hotdog bun tasted stale and others had there complaints too. There wasn't anything with much substance and I can't recall seeing anything for vegans or vegetarians. The food menu desperately needs more variety and healthier options, just feels way behind selling cheap suger than moving forward. The staff were excellent and friendly to talk too and I the atmosphere was okay.

A amazing place, with super meals, desserts and drinks. Everytime I have been to this place, the food has been more than satisfactory, great portions and good deals.The names of food/drinks to buy are alot of the time the same as superheroes/villains, for instance they have a coffe called "The Punisher" its name is not a joke 3 shots of coffee with optional milk it's a amazing.The desserts, or as they would call then "sweet treats" are delicious and very well portioned, the mighty ice is great I will always get one the only problems I have with it is that they have M&Ms in there and they get frozen from the ice cream which make the ice cream harder to eat, but now I just ask for one with out then so it's way better.And finally the milk shakes... I love the "chocolate thunder" a very chocolatey, very sweet and very nice tribute to the very unfortunately named superhero.
