We accidentally found the Bartholomews during our seek to find a distinct place to chill. Wow!! Great service, the knowledge of whiskey and bourbon from the bartender was phenomenal. Such a great vibe 🙌🏽

We had the best time at our cocktail making class, Bartholomew’s was nothing but accomodating for everyone. Harry ran a fun class, the drinks were delicious the vibes were great. We had one extra person turn up that they were able to accomodate on short notice. I appreciate all of the staff who went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Highly recommend for those thinking of a fun event for an end of year Christmas party.

Fantastic dining experience. The mood is low key chill and cuisine is devine. Great local and Asustralian wine selection and the staff are brilliant. * Wine pairing: Silkman Semillion

Took my wife (celiac) and adult sons here last night. We were blown away by the staff who were both knowledgeable and friendly. The food was 5 star and very celiac friendly. It was the best we’ve experienced in years. We had the lamb shoulder, eye fillet, scallops and gnocchi. Perfectly cooked, just wow is all I can say. But the highlight was the whiskey. Everything on the shelves is available to drink. Finally ticked off some bucket list whiskeys that I’ve wanted to try for decades. If you’re looking for that something special then don’t pass this one up. 500 stars from us.

Wonderful service from Sarah and Jye. Top quality food and atmosphere! We were visiting from the UK and wanted to make a special stop here for dinner for our last night in Newcastle, as I’d had my 18th birthday at Bartholomew’s many years back. We ordered the sirloin and barramundi and both were fantastic. Cocktail range is immense as well! Thanks again Sarah + Jye and the whole team for the excellent experience here. :)

Bartholemews has been one of those places in Newcastle that I've wanted to visit for a long time now & has an outstanding reputation. I had always thought it was a venue purely for whiskey advocates & the bourelesque shows but I was proven wrong. This historic building has always intrigued me, which I'm told, used to be a theatre. You can easily recognise this once inside, looking around which is quite grand & Victorian. Their whiskey range amongst other favourites take pride of place among shelves, above shelves behind the bar...Infact, at first glance, it looks more like a library, with a rolling ladder to climb & reach the highest products, but instead of books, there's bottles!! When you step in to this place, you feel like you've been transported back in time to New Orleans deep south, especially when they have Jazz playing. It gives off Gatsby & Babylon vibes which is quite fitting considering it's former name before Bartholemews was Babylon. I was always intrigued & in two minds as to whether this would be a place for me, but now I've finally experienced this Newcastle extraordinary icon, I can't wait to go back for more. Full credit to the staff here, for their product knowledge, approachability, friendliness & customer service. Bartholemews is truly one of Newcastle's secret treasures. Lastly, if you've a soft spot for Bailey's, try "Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey" Their Martini Expressos are also exceptional. ...You're welcome!

What a fantastic venue. First off, the cocktails were sensational. Would come back just for them! But the food was just as good. The scallops were so tasty, and the fish and pork were delicious also. Wonderful ambiance with high ceilings, and good tunes playing. Look forward to next time. Thank you!
