Food is very average They forgot one of the meals and had to make it after the rest of the table had theirs. Bar staff weren’t willing to make a cocktail not on the list.

If you don’t want a waiter it’s the place to be It was a beautiful establishment We walked in and waited by the table that looked like the check in point Many staff meme ears walked past without making contact We wandered through Found our table with my name on it and that was it We didn’t both to stay for a meal so can’t say if it was good food What was going past looked great Being an open establishment it means noise travels so found it not to suit the semi formal attire that was required I’m sure others will enjoy using a qr code to order and pay but not for us

Fantastic venue with so many great beer options. The menu is very limited but the food is good. I still can’t get my Head around why we have to pay so much for a beer when you can literally see where it is brewed. No transport, no packaging required!!!!

The beer selection is extensive and would cater for a wide range of tastes. There is also a range of wines and the usual spirits The bar service was a little slow inititially but that could be because we arrived at 5.30 pm and they might not have been fully staffed, as the service speed picked up later. Our food came out rapidly after ordering, was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I highly recommend this venue and we will definitely be back.

Great venue, good food and excellent beer and bar service. More planning is needed for extra dining spaces close to kids play area. Our booking request for this was not honoured or advised otherwise.
Modus MerewetherResponded on 19 April 2022
Hi Jane, I'm very sorry if you felt like you weren't as close to the kids playground as possible. Unfortunately over the Easter long weekend we had almost every table request to be near the playground - we did try our best to keep all tables happy! It is also noted that requests made on OpenTable will be done whenever possible - but there is no guarantee. For the future, always feel free to call our friendly team and that way all of your requests can be guaranteed! Cheers!

Had a booking for 7.45 on a Saturday night and half of menu was unavailable and the specials were also unavailable. Pretty disappointing for a Saturday night out.
Modus MerewetherResponded on 19 April 2022
Hi Sammy, I am so sorry that you feel that way. Unfortunately our specials roll over weekly, so when they sell out - they sell out! This is to keep a fresh selection of delicious food for our guests!

Hi, Kell. I'm very sad to hear your time with us wasn't so great! Unfortunately this time of year is extremely hard to bargain with in terms of the hot or cold! And whilst we do our best to keep our venue at a temperature fit for our guests, sometimes Mother Nature has her way.

This venue is a great place to catch up with friends for delicious food and drinks. They have some great food options suitable for coeliacs, however no gluten free beer unfortunately. You can order all your food and drinks from a QR code on your table which was awesome. We booked and attended on a Saturday evening and it was very busy, and we were asked to move to a different area whilst we were still drinking. This dampened our experience but overall the food, drinks and service was excellent and I would definitely return.

The newest Brewpub offering in Newcastle keeps getting better with time. The Modus offering is a fantastic experience. The team has really hit a home run with the venue aesthetic, menu, and service. The Beer deserves its own review but know this, if you're on the fence, head in and try the selection. Something for every palate.

my husband and I went on Friday for lunch, I had booked but when I arrived no one was there to welcome. So I waited in the queue at the bar. As my husband was still driving around looking for a park I went to the ladies room, as I went around into the hall I was confronted with 3 men at the urinal, no door. I was disgusted! then when we received our meals, my husband received the wrong meal. By the time he received the correct meal I had finished mine. so in all it was a very unpleasant lunch that cost us more than $80

Hi, Dana. I am so sorry that you didn't enjoy your experience with us at Modus! I would especially like to apologise for the urinal - it has an auto-close feature that should ensure it stays closed at all times but it is quite clear that something wasn't working that day. I would love to follow up with you on this and have more of a chat around what we can do to fix your not so great experience. If you would like to send me through an email at [email attached] that would be fantastic.

Really great options of shares and small finger food. Nice place to come and relax and have a small bite to eat in the afternoon.

Awesome range of vegan options. Most restaurants cater 1 or 2 options, but Modus had at least 8 to choose from!
