Lui’s Wine Bar and Bistro

A bit too pretentious clientele but the calamari is amazing

It’s not often that my wife and I get the chance to go out together as a couple. Our twin boys were sleeping out and we decided to go out for Tapas. Having read a review, it was off to Tynemouth and Lui’s Wine Bar and Bistro.
We immediately ordered a bottle of wine which was brought across a couple of minutes later with the menu’s. To our horror the menu read ‘British Tapas’. Gone were the authentic Spanish Tapas replaced by sausages in blankets and pork and apple swewers.
As we were very hungry and already had the wine we were stuck with it.
To cut a terrible experience short
The food is awful in particular the pork belly (which was rubbery and not crisp) which comes on a cocktail stick with a chunk of apple. The pork in the pork and blue cheese was over cooked and dry as sticks. The only redeeming dish was the chorizo and potato (the only spanish dish that remains). All that said the staff were very friendly and polite and the wine was good (as it should be for the price £20)

This is a realy nice wine bar. It’s situated midway on Front Street, Tynemouth and is relatively new. It only opened about a year ago but a it’s realy pleasant place to relax
Great food and drink available and at brilliant prices and a good choice.
The staff are very helpful and friendly, a bonus to say the least. You can also sit outside if you so wish which is realy pleasant on a nice day. This place should’nt be missed.

A must if you are in Tynemouth. There is nothing better after a breezy walk on the beach than to warm up with a fab hot chocolate, one of the many choices of fresh tea or some wine.
The food is fantastic and great value for money. Great all British tapas available and all the products are exclusively British. The breakfast is the best in the area. Try the Northumberland breakfast or the organic muesli.
There is more: very friendly staff and great choice of bottled beer is available.
A major bonus point it is very dog friendly!!! They even bring some water to the table without having to ask.
