| I wouldn't normally touch a Pitcher & Piano with a bargepole, but lunch had been arranged here and finding an alternative was not really an option. The food was better than I was expecting (especially given that we were quite a large party), and I suppose that the keg Pedigree was just about OK on an unusually warm September day. However, this place does have a fantastic location on the Quayside opposite the iconic Baltic Mill and Sage on the Gateshead bank of the Tyne. The organiser also ensured that we got there early to see the regular midday opening of the dramatic millenium footbridge. I shouldn't really rate this higher than a '4', but it would be churlish not to give it another point or two just for being where it is. rpadam - 12 Sep 2009 10:48 |
| Never had any time for this place. Ok good location but thats about it. Feels really dated now too, stinks of the 90s. Expensive and full of 'look at me' tossers! scoreboard1 - 29 Jul 2009 10:02 |

| Under normal circumstances I would rather chew a second hand butt-plug off Ebay than visit a bar like the Pitcher and Piano: - overpriced drinks, surly staff with no sense of who to serve next, or believing that it is more important to attend to napkin folding when a substantial queue is forming at the bar. My clasic comedy moment here was the barperson who tried to serve me and a guy next to me both at the same time and mixed up the drinks and the change. Why bother? If you want to sit down at a table be prepared to clear the empty glasses and coffee cups yourself - the barstaff are not going to bother. First chair I sat in nearly dumped me on the Quayside due to its broken back. So what has it got going for it? On a summers day sitting outside is a remarkable experience -watch the world go by against the amazing and fantastic backdrop of Sage/Baltic and those fabulous bridges. Tip for summer 2008 - be there early on a Saturday morning - they are tilting the Millenium Bridge at 12 noon every Saturday and it is spitting distance from the Pee and Poor er I mean Pitcher and Piano. Well worth a visit. Thirsty_Jonny - 11 Jun 2008 13:36 |
| I want to send out a heartfelt thank-you to the Pitcher and Piano team from Newcastle for being so spontaneously accommodating last Friday night. The afternoon began with a few quiet Friday afternoon drinks to wind down after a tough week at the office (birthday girl not present). It was not long after that our friend joined us who happened to be celebrating her 30th birthday. We were unaware of this immediately, but soon the news was out and an amazing night was to ensue. We let the bar staff know of this and they were so helpful and generous. They even allocated us an area, table service and all, and we were treated to a VIP-like evening. The cocktails we indulged in were works of art and I struggle to compare them to anything I have experienced in the past. It was one night to remember and a venue I will most definitely frequent in the future for any occasion. Cheers! anonymous - 25 Jun 2007 15:07 |
