Shearer's Sports Bar & Lounge

out of 946 reviews

Why is Shearer's Sports Bar & Lounge good for fans?

Shearer’s is inside St James’ Park at the Gallowgate end, so it’s as close to the turnstiles as you can get. The club’s page bills it as “your front row seat to all televised sport” with over 50 large screens and even live match feeds from the ground on matchdays, making it a natural pre- and post-match hub. Local guides note it’s extremely busy with the football crowd on matchdays, and the Football Ground Guide says bars at or next to the stadium such as Shearer’s generally admit away fans if they behave—so it works as a mixed, neutral meeting point. There’s a full food offering (including a specific matchday menu), which helps fans grab a quick meal around kick-off without leaving the stadium footprint.

Very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! I thought this was going to be your usual pub food but it was actually really good. "Proper"chips said my son. Really fresh salad & chicken skewers were fabulous. Staff good. Free wifi. Pleasant surroundings. Tables could do with a wipe after customers drinking have left but wiped ours with baby wipes all good 😆 10% off drinks 15% off food with our stadium tour lanyard which incited us to come here. Pleasant discovery food wise although I'm sure it gets rammed on match day 😀

What a place! Being a Newcastle United fan living abroad. I always come here for food and drink when I’m in toon. I’ve watched games in here, incredible atmosphere. Loads of TV screens. Very smiley and friendly staff. Great food. Recommended.

Not enough good can be said about Shearer's. The staff are excellent, always friendly, and quick to help. With a place that offers vegan food as an option, there is always a fear that ordering something like vegan chicken, you may get a real bird. This was never an issue across the multiple times over a few days that we ordered. Drinks are well priced, and food was cheaper than expected. We also went to watch the Newcastle v Aston Villa match in the bar. The Newcastle fans were all pleasant. It wasn't hard to get through the crowd to get to the bar, order drinks, and make it back to the table on the opposite side of the room. The food on offer during match days is well priced and easy to get to. We will definitely be going back for food, drinks, and to watch more matches if we can't get tickets to the match (or its an away game).

The best bar I’ve ever been to! While I stayed in Newcastle we came to this bar 3 times! Friday we went to visit the store and seen the bar was opening in 10min so we decided to pop in, and have a drink! We went in and I found they had my drink on tap ( Rekorderling Strawberry & Lime) my partner had a beer. Two came to £10 which was great. I noticed their weekday menu that they offered vegan chicken so we ended up staying for lunch! We got cauliflower bites and vegan chicken (5 pieces) and waffle which came with fries for £10 again bargain! We came back Sat for the Newcastle game, they had a other menu, which we got tater tots and cheese pizza which both were incredible! Best Tater tots I’ve ever had too! The atmosphere for the game was great it wasn’t hostile or aggressive I felt safe as women, and I didn’t have a panic attack as I get anxious in loud crowds but it was totally fine! Staff are friendly and attentive always clearing tables and making small friendly conversations even although it’s busy! Before we left on Sunday we came back for last time. Had apple juice to start with as didn’t feel like drinking at 10am think it was £5 for two full glasses! At 12 they served food which again had to get vegan chicken 😍 also got some tater tots as the day before they were so good had to get more! Had a drink or two before leaving for the train was a nice chill atmosphere and watched the Sundays games on the telly! Overall; good veggie/vegan options, lovely friendly atmosphere, friendly attentive staff! And defo will be back the next time we are visiting Newcastle! Best place ever 🥰

Friendly staff, good food, good atmosphere. Nice little discount if you have been on the St James' Park stadium tour. Amazing number of TV screens so you can keep an eye on the sport.

Great place to call in for a couple of pints and bite to eat. I had a couple of pints of Madri (£4.70 a pint) which hit the spot nicely. I also had a burger which i thoroughly enjoyed. The service was excellent from the barman who served the drinks as well bringing to food to our table.
