user reviews of the Goose at the Gardens, Newcastle

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Visited Sunday 14th Nov, it's a large characterless room that's obviously seen better days,very untidy and quite run down. Seemed to have a fair mix of customers. It was fairly busy, and we struggled to find a clean table, finally picked the least dirty one and sat down. My daughter and I decided to try the burger and a pint offer( �3.99 I think) I made my way to the bar only to be told there were no burgers left! The range of beers didn't inspire me to stay, so we left, don't think I'll return.

One real ale (Marstons EPA), but didn't last long

Horrible, dirty place with awful clientele.

Not been in here for a while but the place was rapidly going downhill even then. Beer was cheap enough but outweighed by the long wait to get served if the place was busy. Meals (and coffee) tended to be served lukewarm and not very big portions. Toilets were shabby, broken tiles everywhere.

I stopped coming in.

Both real ales I tried had to be taken back as were sour. Bin of waste food left near the quiz machine. Generally dirty. The worst pub I visited in Newcastle, absolutely awful - avoid at all costs

Typical Goose, large & busy with a couple of real ales on, nothing very exciting but always drinkable when I've been in. Very easy to get served despite the crowds, has a couple of quiz machines to while away the time. It's Ok for one.

Well is cheap i'll give it that. Got nothing else going it. Toilets are worse than the Head of Steam and thats saying something. Ok for a quick pint maybe before the match but thats it.

Not to my taste. Although the Spurs and Newcastle fans seemed to mix well ? They must water the beer down..

Disneyland for boozers, cheap and cheerful. Remarkably good service considering, a good fry to sort your bad head and the beer prices to get it back again. If I didn't have a missus with delusions of grandeur I'd quit the job and spend the rest of me life half-cut in here. Very good, for those of us without delusions of grandeur.

Bit scruffy but good cheap drinks and a good breakfast fry up, 8/10

It started well as the first review says, but since then it's been on a downward spiral. Even the cheap beer is no enticement. Vile toilets.

the pub is great, the prices are fantastic and the range of drinks is spot on. However the toilets are a total disgrace. On visiting the ladies on a number of occasions I have to say they are disgusting. The smell on entering the toilets is awful. They are in a total state of disrepair(tiles missing off the walls,graffitti,loose seats). There is never any hand wash either. Some of us do actually like to wash our hands. This has not just been a one off thing either.
For such a nice clean pub the toilets are a total let down in fact they are a health hazard I am sure.

Dreadful. A real hole of a pub. Appeals to kids who like to drink coloured vodka.

The Goose has two things going for it: good location (especially is you're doing the top end of town, Hancock, Crow's Nest crawl) and it's cheap as you like (e.g doubles for two quid, �1.20 a Carlsberg). Apart from that it's about as generic as any Weatherspoons pub. Food is typically cheap and cheerful, always rammed at the weekend when it attracts an older crowd and the bar staff aren't particularly helpful either.

Great pub you can relax in and have fun without fighting to speak over loud music and the drinks are cheap. Love the pub!

A fabulous place to relax with a nice cheap drink in a lovely comfortable chair. Friendly staff and excellent food make this pub a MUST!
