Advantages: Chilled surroundings, large bar

Disadvantages: Price and takes ages to get served at the bar

Right on the Newcastle Quayside with views of the Tyne and the Millennium Bridge the Pitcher and Piano is a very light and airy bar and has a relaxed atmosphere.

One problem with the bar is that it takes AGES to get served as there are never many staff on. SO you can sometimes be waiting about 10 minutes to get a drink.

Prices are also on the higher side. For a large glass of house white you are looking at £5.50. Pints are £3.

The bar attracts a mix of people younger and older. There are lots of seats however lots of places to stand also. The bar does get busy on a weekend but on a week night it is very quiet. It does attract a number of stag and hen parties on a weekend as there is a travel lodge just over the road but doesn't get too rowdy as these groups head further into the centre of town looking for less sedate entertainment. The bar always seems busy between 7pm and 9pm but mainly as most people meet here then head off elsewhere!

In better weather there are lots of areas outside to sit and relax and look over the quayside.

It's a really nice bar as a place to start off a night or go for a few drinks during the day, but not somewhere to go if you are looking for a lively Newcastle night out... there are plenty more places on the quayside where you can sample that!!

Summary: A good place for meeting, relaxed atmosphere
