Bartholomew's

Spent the evening here for a birthday celebration, we were a walk in as a pair. Bar staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. The atmosphere is fantastic with great complimentary music (a touch on the loud side but nothing that was bothersome), and also nails home that 1920s whisky bar theme they are going for. The food was EXCELLENT. Everything was perfect down to the dregs in the cocktails and the crumbs on the plate.
Will definitely be back.

Had the monthly special cocktail and dessert. Both exceptional. Watermelon sorbet in particular managed to hit that sweet spot of strong flavour without syrupy taste. Staff lovely.

Such a great venue for cocktails. It's a beautiful old building, run by super frendly staff. Food is good value, big portions.

Went for a midweek lunch, so it was quiet yet still had a great atmosphere. Staff brilliant, service excellent and the food was good. On a hot day it was a cool oasis, so spacious. After lunch we had a couple of games of pool and left as two very happy customers. We are keen to return for an evening meal. A unique, classic Newcastle venue.

We spent a lovely night there. The cocktail was amazing and food was delicious! A cozy atmosphere with excellent service

Stopped in for a sneaky tipple and was very impressed with the extensive selection of whiskeys. Great music and atmosphere too.

So glad we found this place on our recent short break in Newcastle. Set in a very stylish old building, the atmosphere in this cocktail bar and restaurant were exactly what we were after. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, the cocktails were amazing, the music perfect for the vibe of the place and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!

Wow missed out on getting in to this great please but finally got in and we were certainly not disappointed. The staff were excellent and extremely friendly. We had an entree before our main meal in which I had pork belly and my wife had the scotch fillet both were amazing such delicious food and tasted amazing. Well worth the experience to all the staff keep up the good work love it we loved every minute of the great service.

My friend literally lives across the road so we always hit up Babylon for drinks and a game of pool when im in town. The venue has a real WOW factor as you enter and they’ve done a great job leveraging the architecture to create an ambient and warm bar. Friendly service and great drinks

Best Halloween party ever!! Absolutely amazing night. Best service, entertainment and drinks. Vibes were 👌🏼 Yummy food too

Went there last night (Nov 3rd) for their annual Halloween Party. The venue, drinks, food and entertainment were awesome. Everyone was having a great time chatting and dancing. We will be going to next year's Halloween party. Between now and then we will head there as much as we can.

Was very sad to hear about this venue having to change their name.

Our experience here has been fantastic, we have tried out the cocktail making class for a hens party and it was well worth it. I was actually making mock-tails as was unable to drink that day and they were just like the real thing. All of the drinks we have tried here are delicious and the venue itself is stunning! Cannot wait to return and enjoy it again.

By farrr one of the absolute best venues in Newcastle!! The halloween party was incredible, great atmosphere and turn out! 🎃😍

This is a Newcastle Must Do. Accessible old world glamour & style, great entertainment, good value bar snacks (generous portions) & scrumptious cocktails. As a newcomer to the area, very happy to have visited this gorgeous venue. Will return!

Highly recommend the Lamb Shoulder to share with your crew. Capriosca's were delicious and the Staff went above and beyond to ensure a great evening for all. Ryan and Angel - Nailed it!!

1st time here for xmas party
WOW what a venue the staff the food the range of beer wine & spirits.
Has a balcony around top floor with a private bar

Whilst parking is tough this place is an easy walk from the Light Rail. It's always clean and the decor is beautiful. Happy hour from 4 to 6 and they make a mean Lemon Drop Martini!

Great relaxed ambience, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and such a well-stocked spirits bar! If I had a bar, I’d want it to be this one! The venue itself … if only the walls could talk!

And whilst they may be known for whisky, the gin selection is excellent!

Food is amazing 👏 top place. Head chef needs a pat on the back. Bar staff also very friendly and welcoming

Bartholomew's is the best venue in Newcastle. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff ( Ducky's an adonis) & decadent drinks. The Halloween party was spooktacular & needs to return next year! 🦇🎃
