About River Beat
Modern tapas and world food with an Asian twist. Just across Newcastle’s historic Swing Bridge in Gateshead. With private rooms available for parties of all sizes.
Kitchen closes at 9 pm, please place food orders beforehand : )
River Beat Description
Nestled on the south bank of the Tyne, in the old River Police Station, overlooking the historic Newcastle Quayside is River Beat.
Here you can shrug off the shackles of the three-course meal and the pre-conceptions that tapas is only from Spain. We’re revolutionising dining with our infectious blend of European indulgence and authentic Asian tastes mixed with great beats and entertainment.
At River Beat, your dining experience can be as relaxed as you like. Enjoy a selection of tapas served in no particular order and share with friends or have tapas as a starter followed by a main or order everything to arrive together – Have what you want, when you want it! In fact it’s that good that you might want it all yourself!
We wanted to create a place where we would like to eat. A place where flavours could be shared and sampled. A relaxed place where you’re as comfortable dining alone as with friends and family. A place where you’d keep coming back too. River Beat!
