Reviews of The Continental

C. H.

Small, but well presented bar. I think they could benefit from a larger selection of sparkling wines (only have prosecco or champagne). Friendly service, good atmosphere

D. E.

Nice staff but but bar had no atmosphere and vault looked nothing like I saw on picture such a shame. Good selection of Gins

M. K.

Probably the most sophisticated bar in Newcastle, with staff that whos knowledge rivals any of other bars. More choices here than the European Elections and more that matter, a wonderful place to indulge in fantastic drinks with ambiance that makes it worth it. A Gem

D. 0.

Nice building friendly staff drinks where a bit pricy.

J. W.

A classy gin and cocktail bar. Great service.

P. H.

Beautiful little bar with a fantastic Gin menu. Had a range of guns and all beautifully presented and tasty and good value.

V. B.

Wonderful atmosphere and gigantic selection of gin & tonics, don't miss the “millions“ of gins in the fine print on the menu!

A. R.

Not as great as we remembered it. The gin menu has been massively cut back and most of them come with fluorescent tonics. I miss the old menus with 100s of gins, nice tonics and paired tapas. The atmosphere is still pretty great.

A. G.

Very nice place. Great for gin lovers. Strange flavours on paper but actually taste very nice, great bar to visit and will definitely return on a trip to Newcastle.

P. B.

We had lunch at this lovely bar/ restaurant yesterday. The tapas was lovely and the bar is spotlessly clean . The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and huge selection of gin. We will definitely be back to this excellent restaurant which fully deserves a five star rating. Highly recommended.

E. C.

Really nice bar! Two gins for £10 offer is brill. Just a nice place to start or end your evening 😊 Highly rate and i don't even like gin haha

K. B.

fabulous selection of gins, lovely atmosphere

D. S.

This is consistently great. Fantastic staff, can't do enough to make your visit pleasurable. Tappas is excellent...gins are exceptional. Great value for money if you choose the 2 for £10/ £15 options other special gin menu. I love the place, relaxing, chill out and a great place to chat.

C. H.

Nice big drinks and tapas with each drink. Lovely place. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Excellent service, atmosphere good, food and gin perfect, would recommend

Just returned from a further visit to the Continental. Went early doors, and took advantage of the 2 gins for £10.00 offer. Drinks served from professional staff, who were welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed a complimentary tapas, which was delicious. Still being hungry, we ordered two plates of pinchax. Beautifully cooked sea food, and camembert cheese with strawberries. This was a combination which I would never have considered having but was gorgeous! Staff were great! Will definitely return and fancy joining their gin club!!

S. L.

Best place for a good gin & tonic in Newcastle. They have something like 300+ gins here, paired with a huge range of quality tonics. There's a menu of suggested combinations of gins and the best tonic for them, and a garnish. Service is relatively fast - great that you can order you drinks and they'll bring them to the table once they're made. A nice touch is that they also bring occasional complimentary tapas dishes to your table as well, which are always very tasty! You can pay your bill at the end once you leave so no messing around with payments every time you order a drink.

D. T.

Service was friendly and they have an excellent choice of wines and spirits.

R. J.

Best gin bar I've ever been to. Lovely staff, very reasonably priced and there's an excellent value 2 for £10 choice. Free tapas is always gorgeous too.

J. K.

This is a gin palace of extraordinary scope. More gins than you have heard of and amazingly, more tonics too. But more than this, the tapas is astounding, flavours you’ve occasionally met in combinations you had no idea were possible. Laura and I were genuinely taken aback by the taste sensations offered.

R. R.

Love this bar. Gin and tapas what more do you need. Fantastic array of gins...you wont be disappointed. New chef too who is Spanish so food is authentic with a good choice

M. C.

Fantastic staff, tasty tapas, amazing gin selection and a really nice venue. It can get busy but the staff are incredibly at handling the pressure. Always feel welcomed and never disappointed.

J.

Absolutely stunning dinner at the Continental. Staff are the most approachable and friendly people. The tapas and drinks were excellent and I will be highly recommending this to all my friends. Amazing night, and really good value

G. M.

Crazy selection of gins, in the hundreds, and reasonably priced, including some 2-4-£10 deals. Served free tapas style snacks as well. Nice atmosphere and staff very friendly.

S. G.

A hidden gem (at time of writing!). Smallish, stylish bar with lovely staff and an indie personality. Gin menu incredible, beer menu terrible, it's that kind of place. But without any pretension. Continental vibe extends to small tapas being offered with drinks (it was quiet when I was there so this may not always be the case). They also do small plate (tapas style) food which we didn't try but the little sampler we had with our drinks was great. Probably best for couples or smallish groups who want to chat rather than big groups.

D. E.

Brilliant bar, really friendly happy staff and a great selection of drinks. Definitely recommend.

C. “. G.

Food and drinks were great unfortunately atmosphere was ruined by a bunch of chavs swilling drinks and causing trouble who continued to be served all night even after starting a fight... What could have been an amazing evening was ruined could do with a doorman!

R. H.

Definitely worth the money, lovely staff and lovely bar food! May be the best gin and tonic I have ever had! Again lovely staff made the experience more than expected

S. M.

A bar that has a lot of potential but it's not quite there yet. Amazing range of gins, mixers and cocktails and a tapas plate served with your first drink. However very slow service, not much atmosphere on the night I visited and the staff left a lot to be desired.

L. H.

Great gin and tapas bar! The food was incredible as too were the gins and all at a great price!

N. H.
