Just been told in a Jesmond bar that the Anarchy Blonde Star is not on cos it takes a day to settle (no it does not), I was pissed off till I heard a guy in the bar telling his mate that he was Greggs love child, which made me smile. Still pissed off for the poor bar staff misinformed by their manager tho, it just makes them look like dicks.

Not bad for a piano rescued from a building site and manhandled down the road on a sack truck. We also have a guitar rescued from a skip for accompaniment.

User

Some great Ales and Ciders on this weekend. Archbishops, Tequila Blonde, Clever Chimp, Original Porter, Kafir & Limeleaf, and Strawberry, Rhubarb and Copper Top Ciders.

@derventiobrewer Don't see your stuff up this way very often; found Hoplite in @SplitChimp Newcastle. 🍻

User

what a fab bar! not the type of place i'd normally go but so glad we went & defy be back. loved the rhubarb cider :)

User

this is my local. there's not a night i finish work that i have to divert myself to go and get the bus straight after work actively, rather than spend the rest of my night in here, the staff are fantastic, the owner is an absolute diamond, and we've stil got an open challenge on the table at the skittle run upstairs... the beers here are top notch, extremely well kept, and served to perfection.

User

When you visit a bar, the first thing that should matter is the atmosphere, from the staff to the company around you. Then it’s the ales on offer. This beautiful place accommodates for all of these things.

You can spend your entire evening here without feeling the need to bar hop elsewhere. The staff are utterly professional, welcoming and friendly. I would recommend the Split Chimp’s signature drink, yet you’ve a very nice range to try out.

This is certainly one of the best bars in Newcastle with its charm, character, prices and fantastic balance between professionalism and friendliness. Top of the range! You’ll not be disappointed.

User

Went here last night prior to meal with Sam who has just posted review. Really enjoyed it - loved the Split Chimp ale the atmosphere the fact that there was background music but just that in the background not thumping out like other pubs do we could talk without shouting. It was so good we went back after our meal. I even picked up the guitar sitting in the window and played a bit Charlie Rich - lol. Definitely go back when next in Toon. Recommend it to everyone. ���

User

We love the Split Chimp this is always our first port of call when we visit Newcastle.

I love the quirky nature of the place & find the bar staff very friendly & helpful.

User

The place deserves a beer drinkers custom. Give it a try folks.

User

The Split Chimp is a welcoming Micro Pup with great atmosphere & good beer. I also enjoyed The rhubarb cider👍🏼

User

Really nice little pub with good beer and great banter. If you fancy something less commercial pop in for a couple well worth it.

User

Really friendly staff, great relaxed atmosphere, quirky decor and a great selection of beers and ciders. The beer bat is a fantastic idea for those wanting to try a few different ales. Also recommend for vegan drinkers as the staff are more than happy to advise with draughty are suitable.

User

Quirty little real ale pub. Love the use of old reclaimed furniture.

User

Quirky city centre bar with great craft beer and good gin. Will definitely be back.

User

Our second visit to the split chimp. Left very merry after gins and taster bats 😃😃

User

Love the decor, furnishings, service, clean toilets, beers on offer, and general atmosphere. Great place .

User

Its the first time I've been in a bar when asking for a "bat", doesn't result in a smack in the chops! Great little pub, good beer, and good patter with barman and customers.

User

Impressively empty of bearded 20-something hipsters who are still trying to work out how to escape from Brewdog. Bless em.

User

I can’t believe I’ve never been here before!! What an awesome find & I reckon it’ll become one of my regular haunts! Hiya Mark & the gang, it was lovely to meet you.. so nice to find a bar that is as far away from the pretentious overpriced places you can find!! ����

A real nice place for beer. One of my favorite in Newcastle. Great keg and cask choice and quality. The bar staff is friendly and helpful and they always have new beers in. The place has a soulf of its own. It's always a pleasure to have a drink there!
