Very big open space when we arrived, 2 pool tables to use, Karaoke machine too and cheap drinks. Nice outdoor area too! Would recommend for anybody wanting for a place to go on a Friday night.

·

Used to be a lot better back on the day, atmosphere is usually pretty good and drinks are reasonably priced

·

Booked to watch the rugby and paid £80 to reserve a table which was redeemable against our food tab. On arrival there were no serving staff anywhere and the bar staff were overwhelmed with people complaining. Could not order even a drink let alone food. Worst of all, kick off came and went and all the TVs were showing Mastermind!! An absolute calamity of a bar. We left to go and watch the game elsewhere. Avoid, there’s far better options in Newcastle.

9 of us in for a stag, door staff were great. Bar staff were friendly enough. Food was unbelieveable. Bit quiet but would highly recommended

·

Not a comfortable place to be to watch sports. Too packed, inside and outside were absolute mayhem. Drinks prices hugely inflated. Tried to say we had gone over double our tab when we hadn’t.Organisation beforehand equally poor. Emailed and called about changing group size >10 times and never got through.Lots of uncomfortable comments made to girls in our group.

Gave our table away to someone else, was our friends bday reservation. We weren't even late, however busy it was, we made the reservation and they gave it away

Drinks were reasonably priced and staff were friendly. Guest band were canny good too...

The place has really gone down hill in the last few months. The new app order system is a big issue however standards have dropped massively across the board.I visited to watch the football this past week end. When stepping inside I was immediately hit by an awful smell! It was enough to cause me to sit outside despite it being pretty cold.I approached the bar but before reaching it staff shouted "you have to order on the app" I said that was fine but asked of it was possible to put the football on one of the screens outside, as several were showing rugby but 2 were off all together. The staff members said "I will see what I can do". Needless to say the TVs never came on.Me and my friends ordered 3 pints and two bottles, after 30 minutes the drinks had not arrived. After a long wait at the bar I caught the attention of a staff member and told them I needed to cancel order. The staff said "cancel?" Then walked to the other end of the bar and started pouring pints. I followed them and asked if I would be getting a refund and the staff member simply replied "yes".This isn't the first time I've had trouble with ordering via the website, several weeks ago I ordered a pint and then ordered my food separately, in the hopey drink would arrive before my food. After am hour and 10 minutes my food arrived. I'm still waiting on the beer......I was a big fan and frequented often when this place was Antlers but the new management have got things very wrong so far.

I never write bad reviews but for the experience I've had in this place I feel I have too.I ordered chicken wings and they were the worst chicken wings I have ever had in my entire life.Slimey and completely inedible,like they had been thrown in the steamer and then tossed in cheap "korean" bbq sauce.when the waitress asked if I would like to have a fresh portion made, i had to refuse as i cant imagine the "chef" that would send that to a paying customer couldent possibly do any better.The service was also slow but this I can let go as it was a busy Bank Holiday weekend.Just a really bad experience overall.

Zero atmosphere and appalling service. Had booked a table in advance and confirmed this with them which they had no record of. Generally quite quiet and waited 40 minutes for 5 drinks that never arrived.
