The Purple Bear - Smokehouse, Craft Beer & Cocktail Joint

Caitlin was amazing and so attentive! Would recommend purple bear for drinks! And the amazing burgers! We went for Domingo club and it was great value for money!

Great for quiet drinks with a nice atmosphere & decent prices

A lovely meal out, felt really safe and catered for under the current circumstances

Caitlin our server was amazing, she never stopped working but managed to be super friendly and helpful!

Excellent food & drink, fantastic cocktails and a lovely atmosphere!

Great food and drinks at reasonable prices with friendly staff

Really nice food and the staff are helpful and friendly. A great place to go for food or just a drink and definitely value for money. We will be back again

Nice food and good value. Was very quiet for a Sunday afternoon. The Sunday brunch menu has some good options

Great food, nice ambience - a place I will probably visit more in future!

Overall pretty good, Good food, service a little slow for drinks

As ever the food was brilliant, service was not great had to go to the bar to order food drink and to get plates cleared away

We had great service with some lovely food and drinks.

Love it here! Love Sarah, she’s so lovely and made sure everything was okay! Would definately recommend

Good food, 2-4-1 cocktails between 3-6. Food came out quickly and the service was outstanding

Group of 4 at lunchtime, really good, tasty food, good value, Chilli quesadillas with disco chips amazing :-) Get in!

Lovely meal, staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside was it was very busy and we ended up queuing at the bar to pay as we had to leave quite quickly.

Great beer, relaxed atmosphere and tasty food. What more could you want?!

Food was ok, nothing to really complain about but certainly nothing rave about either. Good selection of beers and friendly service.

More food than we could eat. Very friendly and efficient service. Would recommend.

Great food, great service, only downside was music was too loud

Service was fantastic and friendly food was imaginative and brilliantly cooked I only wish I’d had an extra stomach to have the special sandwich which was the moist maker (the one off friends where Ross gets his sandwich stolen then ends up in anger management) as it was I had the yokie which was bacon egg cheese and maple syrup burger and surprisingly the maple syrup now goes with everything I even used my cheese chips to mop it up and it was delightful my partner had a simple chicken burger cause she’s not adventurous as me but still raved on about how nice it was All in all a lovely little place tucked out of the way in the centre of Newcastle that serves a massive range of beers and gins and amazing food

First time we visited atmosphere was very lively a little loud service was good and helpful food was good but not outstanding I probably would go again as its central too give it a second chance never the less a good experience

Second visit,good to find a new place in town to eat , tasty food ,good atmosphere,you have to wait for good food

First time we have visited & we thought the food was fantastic. It was very busy so we had a little bit of a wait for the desserts but other than that it was great.

Brilliant staff, great food a must place whenever we visit Newcastle

Proper crap food, had better from a fairground. All flavourless and without care

Lovely place, quiz is really good, really enjoy it ..

Staff were lovely, food was really good and there is a nice chilled out atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic as always. Incredible food and lovely staff. A must whenever we are in Newcastle

Food was great, but our order took 90 mins to arrive. Staff apologetic and knocked 10% off, but that was equivalent to half a cocktail each. Cocktails were ok, white Russian not mixed and light on Khalua. Boozy butter bear was fabulous! If this was my first time dining here I would be reluctant to go back due to the service issues.

Absolutely amazingly class! Brilliant food! Great service and good pint

Friendly staff, lovely environment and great food and drink. We had a really enjoyable meal out. We will be back soon .

Great spot, but disappointing food - rib rub wasn’t the tastiest; brisket was sold out by 8pm; pork burnt ends were dry; and pulled pork wasn’t really pulled pork (more like a few burnt ends shoved in a brioche). We really wanted to like it, as the concept and decor are fantastic... but food needs some work.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service! Would highly recommend !

Had run out of a lot of food and drink early.

Great service, great food and great price! Would definitely go again!

Great service and lovely food for a very reasonable price. A nice atmosphere and friendly staff too.

Lovely atmosphere and the food was great! The staff were very friendly and happy to help, providing excellent customer service. Will definitely be returning! 🙂

Excellent place, food and service was absolutely brilliant would total recommence this place

Friendly helpful staff, quick service and lovely food! reasonable price.
