The Metropolitan Hotel

We enjoyed the Pints & Pups event last Sunday, hosted by the Metro for Dog Rescue Newcastle. We were met at the door by pub dog Devon and given a warm welcome. Wonderful to experience an old pub true to its era but with a range of good beers and reasonably priced food. And dog friendly too, what a bonus!

TAMA AND JADE!!! You guys are legends!!! This place just feels like home, you guys are just like family. The food was sensational, the atmosphere was awesome. Thank you so much! I love coming to the metro, I always feel so welcomed

Today, Friday 16th February, I was starving and thought I would try the Metropolitan. I ordered potato gnocci, with creamy sauce and parmasen cheese, with prawns. $31- I was presented with a bowl of what appeared to be curdled cream, pools of orange oil, some green tit bits and really, it looked like vomit. How can a chef present that!? I was so hungry, I ate the prawns and carefully hooked the prawns out. This would have to be the worst meal I have come across in years. If I hadn't been so exhausted, I would have asked the chef....is this OK? Anyway, I hope the food improves, for the owner's sake, but I won't be going back....too tired to take photos.

Great vibes, great beers BUT the Chicken schnitzel was very over cooked, dry and contained one of the thinnest peices of chicken i have ever been served. Couldn't finish as it wasnt edible. The cook needs to take more pride in what he sends out the door

Nothing better than a pint of beer on a sunny Sunday. Tables out front in the breeze. Lovely. Beautiful looking menu of tasty meals, though we just got a snack plate to share. Friendly service. An interesting modern touch on an old dame from yesteryear... 1872.
