About Porterhouse Butcher & Grill
The Spotlight on Porterhouse Butcher & Grill

Steakhouse Excellence in the Heart of Newcastle

Located inside the bustling Fenwick Food Hall, Porterhouse Butcher & Grill is a modern steakhouse offering premium cuts, fresh seafood, and a casual-yet-sophisticated vibe. Just a short walk from Newcastle’s major music venues, this spot blends elegant dining with a relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for a pre-concert meal. With its open kitchen, counter seating, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, it’s as much a visual treat as it is a culinary one.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate Porterhouse for its central location, just minutes from top music venues like O2 City Hall and Utilita Arena. The restaurant offers quick, attentive service—great when you're on the clock before a show. The lively yet polished atmosphere makes it easy to shift from dinner to gig-mode, and the bar seating is perfect for solo diners or couples grabbing a quick bite. The menu is concise but high-quality, ensuring a satisfying meal without a long wait.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share a bottle of wine and a few premium steaks before the show
  • Solo travelers who want a seat at the counter and a great view of the open kitchen
  • Couples turning their concert night into a romantic evening out
  • Fans seeking a stylish, high-energy space to fuel up before the music
  • Budget-conscious fans seeking quality over quantity—while not cheap, the value reflects the excellent ingredients

What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor rave about the perfectly cooked steaks and knowledgeable staff. Many mention the freshness of the seafood—especially the oysters and scallops—as standout features. Guests love the open kitchen layout, which adds an interactive flair, and the comfortable yet upscale vibe of the dining area. The wine list is also frequently praised for its thoughtful selection.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the menu is on the pricier side, especially for those just grabbing a quick bite. A few reviews mention that the seating around the food counter can feel a bit tight during peak hours. And since it’s inside Fenwick, it doesn’t offer the traditional restaurant setting some might expect.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for premium steaks and seafood in a chic, convenient location before heading to a concert, Porterhouse Butcher & Grill is a top-tier choice in Newcastle.
