Microbus Gateshead: Reviews & Ratings
Whenever we are up in Newcastle (which is often) - we will always make the trip over the bridge to visit Microbus without fail. It is an outstanding pub all round. There is great group of locals who drink there, the team working there are always great even when super busy, and the beer is out of this world. Whether you like traditional real ale, hazy craft beers, or 15% imperial stout you will find it here and it will be kept perfectly. Well deserved winner of many beer awards.
Really friendly place with an excellent selection of beers available. First time in this week and felt right and home. Very interesting decor too with the VW theme. Definitely check this place out, it's quirky and fun and a must for beer lovers.
One of my favourite bars in the Railway Quarter - has a great personality and puts on some brilliant musical arts. Beware though - the strong beers are deceptively delicious!
I absolutely had to leave a review after having an amazing pint of Almasty for 4.50!! It was a lovely beer that was soft and juicy and was easily the best value beer I've ever had. I'll definitely be returning.
Spotted this place a few weeks back and knew I needed to visit. Had theatre tickets booked in Newcastle so had a walk over to Gateshead, especially. Made to feel very welcome by Suzie as soon as we went in. We were first in that day as we were so keen! Offered tasters to help decide on drinks, and Suzie was obviously very knowledgeable on the stock. Lots of choice from a wide range of local brewerys. The drinks were fairly priced. Loved the quirky bus/van life style decor. Added bonus that we got to meet Harriet the pub dog and feed her a treat. Did a steady little turn over whilst we were there. Having never been there others that obviously drink there were friendly. Had a relaxed atmosphere. Sold crisp snacks that were really good. Although not Vegan ourselves, good to know that everything offered, both food and drink, is suitable for Vegans. Definitely going to go again! A fun place.
Really friendly place with an excellent selection of beers available, including a fruity sour green one!. First time in this week and felt right and home. Very interesting decor too with the VW theme. Definitely check this place out, it's quirky and fun and a must for beer lovers.
Went for the first time on Saturday and loved it. Brilliant selection of draft beers. The atmosphere was great too along with the pie which was delicious
Super friendly welcome when we walked in. Chili was offered, but we had just finished lunch. Love the atmospwhere, and ales, and the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Great conversations out on the sidewalk with a local gentleman was very educational and epic. Cheers to all the microbus staff!
