Hamilton Station Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by MsKoshe
Best place in newcastle to have a few drinks with friends. Large tables in the beer garden, live music, friendly staff and even friendlier security. Never a dull night here!
5 Star Review by Adam Stein
I love the vibe in this pub. Its my favourite pub when I visit Newcastle. An eclectic mix of patrons that gives the pub a chilled and laid back vibe. Also, bloody great food.
5 Star Review by Chelsea O'Connor
Fast and efficient service. The food truck style meals were so delicious and quick! Like an old school pub with smokers area out the back. Loved this watering hole!
4 Star Review by big fart2331
Me and the gurls (absolute qweens) went to this place and it was quite problematic. First of all, my friend who is non-human shaped head bumped into the door frame because they were ableist and didn't account for people with extremely elongated heads visiting their venue. Secondly, there was not enough POC (people of colour) inside the building and there was a lot of white people which made me and my friends feel uncomfortable. Please put more effort into making the space a more inviting venue for the marginalised communities. Third, they did not have any vegan free-range IPA offers which made my hecking valid and beautiful trans friend feel very underrepresented. Btw she is a heckin valid women so don't even try to go there. Last of all, I was happy at the amount of allies there who all were sporting their favourite rainbow hair colours and their was a lot of body positivity shown in the venue as I would say 1/2 of the people who were plus sized. That is so awesome, but we struggled to move around with the minimal room left after the 20 people at the bar blocked the entire venue. Could you please update your venue to make it more easy for us plus sized qweens to move about. Thanks.

Played a gig here with my hardcore punk band. Surprisingly felt quite comfortable rubbing shoulders with the karaoke crowd in the main bar. The staff were a very good looking and poured many a tasty beverage for me and my fellow band mates, especially the bass player who drank a heap and had a fantastic night
