I paid the bar attendant a £50 and was given back £4.20. I bought the price of the drinks to the attention of my friend whom I was visiting at the time she advised me to go back and make a compliant to the manager which I did and he said he would review the cameras and give me a call back. I never received a call therefore I returned to the bar twice and both times was turned away.The manager claimed that there were too many black people in the club that night so he wasn't able to identify me and refused to give me a refund although he mentioned to my face that he believed I wasn't lying about the transaction. All I would say is to be very cautious when going to the bar and always always ask what the prices are before you even purchase anything

The Botanist was an excellent find when we stayed the night in downtown Newcastle. Located on Monument Mall, you have to up three flights of stairs or take the lift (elevator) to reach the main bar and lounge that has a strong botanical garden theme that is quite beautiful, especially with the location being under a dome. The dome is gorgeous and really enhances the botanical garden and atrium effect. The cocktails are very good as well. I ordered a buttered coconut old fashioned that was quite rich and creamy, but very satisfying with the toasted coconut and butter-washed Makers Mark bourbon with homemade salted honey syrup. My wife enjoyed her Botanist Ultimate Gin & Tonic as we took a table with these plushy lounge chairs. The bartender was fantastic and friendly in making us the cocktails. Really nice guy who made us feel at home. Additionally, they have a rooftop balcony to enjoy the drinks; however, on this evening, it was windy and cold (at least for us Floridians) to where we decided to stay warmer inside. But we would return in a heartbeat.

The decor is pretty awesome and runs the science theme with the likes of Einstein and Hawking on the walls. We went in quite late on a Saturday night for a couple of drinks and were happy to find an array of gin on the menu as well as an impressive cocktail list. It was relatively quiet but there aren't a lot of tables or seats so only got a table when some people left. The tables are chalk boards and provided a fair amount of entertainment during our drinks. I would definitely go here again if I'm near Central for a drink or two. A nice casual atmosphere and a great location adds to the plus points.

The Victoria has recently undergone a change of menu as at December 2012. The original menu has…read morebeen pared down considerable on Mains, although many of the Starter choices remain, if not quite in the same recipe format. It's evident that this change in Menu is a financial decision. The steaks are still there, but Steak Night is not 'every night' as previous and is now limited to one night. Similarly, the limited Menu choice has been carefully chosen, and not always for the better. For example, we often had the black pudding Starter, which came with scallops and a fresh salad; it now consists of one round of black pudding wrapped in half a streaky rasher of bacon on onion gravy. The salmon dish consisted one time of a thick fillet, served on ribbon vegetables, with a sauce containing prawns. It now consists of a much thinner steak, on a small bed of spring greens, one scoop of potato and a smoked garlic tablespoon of sauce. (£9.95) Hubby's sausages were advertised as being 3 different types, but they all looked and tasted exactly the same and I've tasted better in the Fine Range in Supermarkets. I haven't yet tried a steak since the Menu change, but I'm guessing that they won't be as big or as good quality based on the dishes we tried. I did note that the sides to the steak are now no longer onion rings and chips and mushrooms as before. There also seems to have been a cut down in staff. We waited over half an hour between our Starter and Main as staff rushed to cope with the patrons at the bar and the restaurant. It is a nice bar and eatery. In the vernacular of the restaurants name The Boathouse it sadly seems to have all been spoiled for a 'happorth of tar

This review is for The Eagle, Leam Lane…read more Unfortunately the previous Reviewer has tagged the wrong bar, and they could not have tagged wronger if they tried. The bar has a colourful history which continues to be colourful to this day. At one point, the Police closed it down - and with good reason. The Eagle is the kind of bar you would only go into by accident, unless you are the kind of Patron who takes their drinking very seriously indeed. If your car was to breakdown outside The Eagle, it would be safer to walk the lonely streets to find a telephone. Ive been in The Eagle once out of necessity and once is enough for anybody.

However, while walking down Gateshead I happened to notice the other bars on the block, that had a lot of rainbow flags, male and female symbols over the door frames. Before we walked in I was positive it was a gay bar. My boyfriend refused to believe me so in we walked. It is a dark, dark bar. Oddly enough, the decor was filled with everything of 'old western America'. Wagon wheels, tons of eagles all mixed with clever sayings about who frequented the establishment. The bartender asked us if we were for a couple, announcing that yes, we were in a gay bar. A great red glow covered the booths, while other corners appeared to be dimly lit. My boyfriend, so excited to take me there, only to be disappointed that he was the object of everyone's attentions. (I rather enjoyed it) The staff is very friendly, we still felt welcome as a couple. They even had mini bottles of Budweiser beer that I'd never seen before. We stayed for pint, enjoying the surroundings. It's not your over the top gay bar, but rather low key. They had a downstairs area but we didn't want to intrude. Perhaps they only expect men to come in for a pint but I didn't feel too out of place. It gave us a great story for my first visit to Northern England.
