Discover more about The Quayside - JD Wetherspoon
A riverside building with centuries of stories
Dove’s Warehouse—the shell that now contains The Quayside—dates from the later 16th century and was once used for storing goods moved along the River Tyne. The long brick ranges and grouped warehouse layout retain a sense of Newcastle’s trading past, and the pub’s interior adapts that industrial, storied footprint into a spacious public room that still hints at timber beams and storage bays beneath modern finishes.An everyday pub designed for all-day use
The Quayside operates as a full-day local: early breakfasts, lunchtime trade and evening drinks are part of the rhythm here. Large communal tables, varied seating and a bar laid out for swift service reflect Wetherspoon’s formula—good value food, a broad beer and soft-drink selection, and predictable opening hours that make it a dependable choice for groups and solo visitors alike.Facilities and practical features
Facilities include step-free access, baby-change provision and free Wi‑Fi, while television screens and a licensed outdoor area add to the casual, social atmosphere. The pub’s scale allows for quiet corners as well as livelier sections; the layout is pragmatic rather than intimate, prioritising accessibility and a workable environment for families during daytime and for larger gatherings in the evening.Where heritage meets modern pub culture
The juxtaposition of a historic riverside warehouse with contemporary pub fittings is central to the venue’s character. Exposed structural elements and the building’s external proportions nod to its mercantile origins, while menus, digital ordering and a wide selection of regional ales and familiar branded beers place the pub squarely within modern British pub culture.A base for the Quayside experience
Set at the water’s edge near iconic Newcastle crossings, the pub functions as a comfortable base for riverside wandering and people-watching. The outdoor area and riverside vistas make it well suited to milder weather, and its late closing time supports post-event meet-ups after theatre performances, concerts or nighttime strolls along the quays.What to expect during a visit
Anticipate a lively, unpretentious environment where food and drink are aimed at value and variety. The interior ambience shifts through the day—from quieter breakfast crowds and families to a more energetic evening mix—yet the overall tone stays casual and inclusive, with practical amenities and a menu intended to suit broad tastes.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
