Nestled between Newcastle's shopping district and the river front in the heart of the Quayside, Babucho is a New York style brasserie and bar. The bar menu is crafted purely by our team of bartenders and mixologists each bringing their own style. Our cocktail range truly reflects the personality of our friendly and skilled team and is designed to impress.
We are simply obsessed with drinks and work closely with our suppliers at Heineken and Bacardi Brown Forman to deliver high quality products even at house level. We also search high and low to bring rare and special products from around the globe to make drinking at Babucho a unique experience.

Me and my boyfriend have been here a few times and loved it every time! Birthdays and Valentines and been the main 2 reasons for visiting but more recently we went for a casual lunch. They have a really good value lunch time special on.
The service is always amazing, the staff are so polite and can never do enough for us, always going the extra mile! and the food is just as amazing, the lunch time special may be cheaper but does not lack in quality at all.I recommend this place to all my friends. We visited Babucho today for the first time having seen it on the net our expectation where high and they certainly weren't let down.

Amazing place. Another place me and my girlfriend had been wanting to try for ages but never really got around to it. It was well worth the wait. The soup my girlfriend had, French onion soup served in a cob, was bloody lush. Everything else was just as nice. Definitely worth a visit. Book in advance for a weekend obviously.

First visit to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. Good service and good atmosphere even though the place is huge. Only downside was the steak for the birthday girl was poor and although replaced without hesitation the replacement was still not as good as it could have been. Despite this the staff were efficient and friendly and there is every chance we will return.

Overall, we had a good time at Babucho, we came without a booking on a Sunday and they seated us relatively quickly. The food tasted good, but the carrots were undercooked. We both ordered roasts and wanted to share a bottle of wine.
Unfortunately our waiter was not attentive and we had to go looking for them 20mins after ordering to ask again for our wine. We also had to get up and search for a waiter again to request for our bill. We expected better service given the way the venue presented themselves.

The waiter we had was the loveliest, Edison was honestly the highlight of our night. We for sure weren't disappointed... he is unfortunately leaving in a week to start another job but we will never forget the night we had served by him. The food was perfect - and I don't use that word lightly.
The cocktails were amazing and the atmosphere itself was just fantastic. 10/10 will definitely go again.

My boyfriend and I went for our 1 year anniversary and were not disappointed AT ALL. Food was outstanding food, really helpful and friendly staff, cosy and intimate atmosphere and the music was not too loud. The food portions were surprisingly reasonable and well priced. Highly recommend for anniversaries, date nights, valentine's Day, and other special occasions. Will definitely be back x

In my opinion this is the most wonderful restaurant in toon. Alex was our waiter, years of experience and always on hand for recommendations. Their three course offering is such a bargain and the £5 cocktails taste amazing too!
Ideal for date night, family or friend meals and drinks. Beautiful interior and quality food!

Excellent from the beginning to end!!!
Properly restaurant based on good service and quality food.
Many places here in Newcastle are focused to sell alcoholic beverages and the quality of the food is poor and the hygiene ⬇️,luckily we found this restaurant in central town clean and well maintained.

Service is excellent very friendly staff who interact with you and offer kids entertainment such a colouring materials. Setting is beautiful and perfect for family meals. It is a great place in the heart of the city centre. nearby is the quayside so after eating you can go for a little walk. We went around 5ish and the service was speedy I do think the food has been better previously but a good point is the chicken is also halal. The sticky toffee is one of the best I have tried.

I do think that I have to retract my "I hate Italian food" statement- but ordinarily, I do, but I have rubbish Italian food- but here certainly wasn't rubbish.
Came here as part of the Birthday celebrations for one of my favourites.
Lovely setting, love the hanging lights, and much better than the upwards ones made from the same fronds- they just don't hang that way guys!!
Our waiter was lovely, and understanding that I had to run early (no pudding for me, boo hoo!).
I think we pretty much all went for lunch menu, which was good value.
On our table was chicken wings, garlic

I came here with friends for a Christmas do, so can't really comment on the regular menu, but we had a great time here! The atmosphere is trendy and bustling, not so much a place for an intimate dinner for two but more a place to go for a fun meal with friends before heading out to go dancing. Our attentive servers brought us all prosecco that came with our prix-fixe meal, and then the food was on its way. I started with oven-roasted king prawns in chili butter over rustic bread - this is on regular menu, and it was delicious! Perfectly cooked prawns, and the butter sauce gave the dish

A Monday evening out after work (I started early this week) was a treat from our manager after having a good couple of months in work.
My friends at work probably have a better idea of the places in Newcastle - my forte is around the coast and Tynemouth...
Saying this we had a few options along the quayside and we opted to go for Babucho which of course I had never heard of! We arrived shortly after 6 without booking and were seen to a lovely booth in the back by a smart waiter. The inside was gorgeous with a black theme and lovely gold lights surrounding the tables. I loved the layout with the

I took my parents to this restaurant when they were visiting Newcastle and we were not disappointed! We initially intended just to have a couple of drinks in the very stylish bar but it had such a good atmosphere we asked if they could squeeze us in for food. Although fully booked one table didn't show-great news for us!
The restaurant was heaving with big parties celebrating birthdays but it was surprisingly tranquil at our table and staff remained attentive throughout so the service didn't suffer at all.
The food was incredible! Varied menu although relatively expensive. I took advantage
