Newcastle Arms — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Nice place with lovely menu of drinks. Nice outside seating area too! Unfortunately, I ordered mojitos and they were, without doubt, the worst mojitos I've ever tasted. I don't say this lightly, either! I actually go around the country looking for the best mojito, but this actually made the 0/10 list. The bartender did not muddle the lime, mint and sugar (in fact, I didn't see any form of sweetener), and did not add 2 measures of white rum (rather only a dash of white rum). He did go to the effort of crushing the ice, which felt redundant as the flavours were not there to wrap around the ice that was to be added to the drink. This resulted in a room temperature lime and soda, with mint leaves for decoration. The ice was used so sparingly that it melted within minutes, and I was left with a pair (it's 2 for a tenner) of undrinkable mojitos made with zero expertise. This needs to be improved now. Please improve your mojito recipe!

In addition to this, the coffee rum was nice, but the price I paid for it could have gotten me rather close to buying a bottle of the stuff myself.

A few adjustments need to be made in my eyes, but the place would be a force to be reckoned with if they lowered the prices and improved...

Attended this venue at 10pm Saturday 18th Feb 2023. Was in company with 2 other 50 somethings and a younger female drinker. Light hearted banter with security staff on way in. Ordered 4 pints of Darwin brewery ale. Took some photos of the pump (ref Darwin Nunez LFC player). Server immediately became aggressive stating we were barging into others. No one else present at bar area then refused to serve us. CCTV will support this. Apparent he had an issue serving us. Immediately left and went next door to Rosie’s. Staff there were welcoming and described the barman as a ‘weirdo’ who likes to dress up in costumes re Comic con. Visited Newcastle several times and this is the worst...

Nice little place in Newcastle. Clean tidy decorated lovely. Toilets are clean. Wheelchair accessible entrance but never noticed accessible toilet. Not the cheapest pub in Newcastle I'm afraid but drink was really nice. Staff was polite. A local bus service runs close by as does the local metro, either St James or monument metro station. Would I return, yes I would, I have been before but for me it's now and again for a treat price wise. I would recommend to my family and friends to...
