45 Best Cocktail Bars near Newcastle

“My favorite restaurant! We love The Coalman, the food is fantastic, the people are great and the ambience is amazing. If you're looking for somewhere that offers food on another level, an excellent wine selection (they even have a wine club) and just a great place to be, this is it. Best of all, it's reasonably priced!“

“It was a rainy day and my BF and I had planned to have lunch together the day before. So we decided to go the Blazing Onion as I had always wanted to try it.
Being vegetarian is sometimes hard to find a place that has options for burgers and this place has a few options which is great. I ended up getting the Impossible burger and onion petals on the side and my BF got the Blazing Onion burger and fries. He also ordered us an order of mozzarella sticks. For drinks we had water and I got a Blueberry Lime Fizz and he got Raspberry Lemonade. The water had a lemon slice which was a nice touch.
I have to say that the mozzarella sticks were delicious and cheesy and the marinara sauce was pretty good too. The burgers came and it was amazing!! I ate it all in record time lol. The bun was perfectly toasted as well. I had no complaints on the burger. The onion petals were ok. When I usually see something say beer battered I never taste the beer, this you could. The only issue was they were soggy.
My BF enjoyed his food and the drinks were very good too. Service was great as well. I will go to Blazing Onion again, it was really good. But what made it stellar was the person I shared the experience with, he is amazing.“

“Our team of 8 booked a reservation for our holiday celebration. They seated us in a semi-private room (just the 8 of us!) and it was perfect for our needs. We ordered about 4 appetizers for the table, as well as beverages and meals for each. The oysters and toast with chevre and figs were my favorite. The aioli for dipping french fries was so good! I personally had the mushroom pasta with veggies added - it wasn't too heavy and had the perfect amount of sauce to noodle ratio. My spouse had the burger and it was perfectly cooked - we ended up taking half of it home. We were all too full for desserts, but the menu looked great!“

“Great dog friendly patio and great food for the price. Good drinks. Right on the hipster edge of being a dive bar“

“The best pizza in Seattle. We had the Mushroom Pizza and the Broccoli. Driving from Burien to Leschi on a Friday night and it was well worth it. this is our new pizza spot.“

“Well worth exploring their whole menu. Light, bright, and refreshing. Literally drank mine so quickly that I forgot to take a photo! 😆 I will definitely be coming back, and can't recommend them enough. Quite a hidden gem (on the 2nd floor of Lincoln Square South).“

“Excellent food and service“

“This is seriously my favorite Thai restaurant of all time, and I say that coming from a family who cooks authentic Thai food! The entire atmosphere is gorgeous, charming and cozy all at once, the food is amazing, and the staff are SO kind. Anyone who has written a negative review - you must be out your dang mind!! Pay no heed to those. I will come here time and time again and hope it never closes.“

“A Luxe Espresso Martini at an Unbeatable Price

I had the pleasure of indulging in an exquisite Espresso Martini during happy hour at Bellevue Square Nordstrom, where all signature cocktails are just $10—a steal for the quality and experience offered.

This martini was a masterpiece, marrying the rich, bold flavors of freshly brewed espresso with the smooth sophistication of premium vodka. The touch of coffee liqueur added a subtle sweetness and depth, while the frothy crema crowned with three iconic espresso beans made for a stunning presentation.

Each sip was a balance of indulgent creaminess and refreshing chill, delivering a luxurious cocktail experience at a fraction of the price you’d expect for such craftsmanship. The happy hour pricing made this already impressive drink even more satisfying, transforming a quick stop into a highlight of the evening.

At just $10, the Espresso Martini at Bellevue Square Nordstrom is not only a delightful treat but an incredible value—perfect for winding down a shopping day or kicking off an elegant night out.

“Great food“

“Service was awesome… food was great . Definitely will recommend.. highly recommend the Pier 88 combo“

“We love it and loved the food“

“Great food great service great atmosphere 👌“

“The ginger beer here is always great and you can sample the flavors before you order.

The prices are the menu are set so that you don't really save any money by ordering a larger size, so order the size you think you can finish.

As of October 2025 there is also a food option on the right side of the store that is selling fried chicken.

There really shouldn't be a tipping option as you are ordering at the counter.“

“What an amazing restaurant. We had a relaxing time in the bar area catching up. The drinks were great! Service was great! I had the plantains-amazing! The most gorgeous bathroom. So glad to have a new hangout spot during the week. I invite more to hang with me there. You won't be disappointed!“

“Thank you Chris and Team for another amazing evening in the Bake's. If anyone wondering... the food is sooo good... highly recommend AHI Tuna, Burger (both my favs) and last night tried some new meal with Mozzarella Burrata served on salad - I couldn't stop eating, so good! Compliments to the Chef!“

“It’s our first time today. We got lucky coz every time we’ll go there the wait is always long. We had a good experience, the receptionist is very nice and very helpful too bad we forgot to ask her name. Our server is very good and welcoming too. And the food didn’t disappoint us. So happy coz this restaurant is just a walking distance from our place. We will definitely go back and recommend this place to our friends.“

“My friends and I went to Shinya Shokudo today and has the best time ever! Crystal our server was absolutely amazing and was very sweet! We had a million questions and every single time she was willing to answer. Our food was always very on time and even when splitting up the check she dealt with our request with no issue! 10/10 would recommend!“

“Reasonable prices. Service and food are excellent. Been there twice with the same server, Linda, who is excellent. Food comes out fast, too!“

“I love the cocktails, the people, and the atmosphere ❤️“

“Went here and the service was excellent. Walked in and loved the dark n moody vibe. You can hear conversations and not loud. Elijah the guy with the beard and bartender did amazing service. Ordered old fashion cocktails and it was great. Would come back!“

“Stopped here on a spontaneous solo date on the way home from grocery store. sidewalk made for very engaging people watching on a summer’s eve. The service started slow, but improved; fantastic dining!“

“If you’re looking for a place where flavor, live music, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony, Mexicuban is it. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their delicious creations.“

“The burgers are amazing and inventive! Highly recommend!“

“First visit to Jude's. I love it when you meet long-time staff who know the history of a place - Jada was our bartender - hope I spelled it correctly! She knew her cocktails too! If you read up on the background of this place, wanting to be your neighborhood joint, great food and drinks and ambience, then I think they are there. We had the mushroom etouffee with Cajun prawns, fried chicken sandwich, apple salad, and the beignets! I'm sure it is a personal preference, but I thought the beignets were better than at Toulouse Petit. Can't wait to try brunch!!“

“I first heard about Kanishka's Des Moines location through a friend who saw somebody raving about it in a Seattle foodies group here on FB. My friend and I went to check it out and, well, it's my new favorite restaurant. I've been here 3 times and Door Dashed it once in the past month. The food every time has been absolutely fantastic, and the portion size are quite generous. The appetizers are almost entree-sized; the first time I went there with a friend, we filled up on appetizers and had to get our entrees to go. Dish recommendations: Chicken 65 and Fish Pakoras for appetizers; Mixed Grill, Lamb Vindaloo, and Paneer Korma entrees. Also, listen to your host as it seems like they're always trying out new dishes that haven't made it onto the menu yet.“

“This used to be a excellent beer bar serving amazing beer with mediocre food. Then it changed owners and they started serving solid sushi and still serving amazing beer. They changed chefs earlier this year and they are one of the best sushi restaurants who happens to serve amazing beer. They do sell out of specialty dishes (e g., Ankimo: monkfish liver pate) which is how it should be for delicasies.“

“Lunch at Mox Bellevue today—and what a surprise. I wasn’t there to game, just catching up with friends passing through. But the space? Total standout. Art Deco vibes, cozy booths, and a game store that feels more like a boutique hotel lounge. I had the Golden Curry & Tofu—Japanese-style curry over rice with potatoes, carrots, tofu, and pickled vegetables. Warm, flavorful, and exactly what I was in the mood for. My friends ordered the Sausage & Pepper Rotini and left just as happy. The only curveball? No mocktails listed on the menu. When I asked, our server looked a little unsure but offered to make a virgin Momotaro with ginger, peach, mint, lemon, and ginger beer. It was fantastic—definitely worth ordering again. Still, a mocktail section on the menu wouldn’t hurt. After lunch I wandered through the shop and ended up picking out a couple of games for our next game night. Couldn’t resist. All in all, a great lunch, great space, and a solid reminder to check out places that mix things up. Overall fun spot. So happy we found this place. Would happily return. Friendly staff, tasty food, stylish space.“

“Our server, Freya, was outstanding. We will ask for her again.“

“Rica comida y la mesera extraordinaria muy buen servicio“

“Best dim sum and ramen! My son could not believe what he was eating! We love their food and friendly service and cannot wait to go back. We drive down from two counties north! It’s a worthwhile pilgrimage.“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Well and Table was the first restaurant where I could eat because I have Celiac Disease. My favorite foods are burger, fries, turkey wings, cobbler, and root beer float. Well and Table is the best place. Heston, Age 6“

“WONDERFUL housemade pasta, whole Branzino. Delicious Barbera. Great desserts, great service, amazing olive oil, which sounds funny, but it was really, really good. I would highly recommend La Medusa.“

“Love the food and wait staff! Love the total experience!!! Brunch menu is delicious! Thank you my friend Patricia Corr!💙“

“Haven’t tried it but it’s right across and it looks good. Testing the review feature“

“I have only been here two times as I moved to the area right before the government stole the freedom of Americans to move about freely... that being said, this visit - IN PERSON - was excellent! Matt, the bartender answered several questions and made a couple suggestions. I went with one of them (Carnitas and Scratch Margarita) and was pleasantly impressed with both! The crowd was fun, the staff was doing an excellent job (having been in the industry for 24 years myself) taking care of the business and caring for the clients. Thank you and I WILL be back again!“

“Service was quick, friendly and professional. Waited at the bar while the food I ordered to take back to my room was prepared. The bartender was great! Chatted with me while I waited. Food was delicious! Highly recommend the caesar salad and mushroom fettuccine.“

“Visited on my own for happy hour to sample the views and have a cocktail. Sat at the bar and had a few cocktails. The bar staff made me feel very welcome. Great selection of whiskey, rum and everything else. I'm sure the food is great as well, perhaps next time!“

“What is your purpose? microsoft.com“

“Good chicken fried rice and pad Thai chicken“

“Great hotel bar with friendly staff. There’s a few good local beers on draft and plenty of bar games like pool, shuffleboard and board games too. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that but definitely a decent place to hang out if staying here night before a flight from Seattle.“

“Amazing experience, middle of January we felt like we step in to vacation in tulum, beautiful decor ( I am interiors designer) , great food, delicious drinks! great service Stephanie is the best ! . But so much potential if changing the quiet music for house electronics Spanish music to fully embrace Tulum vibes. Can wait to be back for dj night !!“

“This is not a restaurant. It’s actually bar service within Residence Inn hotel where you can order food, mainly salads and burgers, and drinks from the bar (pictured below).Christina is the main hostess at the bar. Very nice and friendly lady.If you ring the number for this place from Google Maps, it’s actually going to go to the front desk for Residence Inn. Tell them to transfer you to the Rivue Bar and Grill.You will find the menu in Google maps photos for this place so you can just order on the phone. They don’t deliver to the hotel rooms so you just have to go down and get it.I would recommend their signature Rivue burger - comes with fries (pictured below).It is surprisingly very good for bar service food at a hotel and will do the trick for an evening where you don’t feel like getting out - since there’s nothing really walking distance around this hotel unless you have a car.“

“Great service and very good food. Lovely outdoor patio.“
