How Do You Do
Fish Quay bar and restaurant with river views, British and Mediterranean food, afternoon tea and bottomless brunch.
About How Do You Do
How Do You Do sits on Hudson Street on the bank above the Fish Quay, a long-running bar and restaurant with glorious views over the River Tyne. Its menu mixes British and Mediterranean flavours, and it runs everything from bar food and cocktails to a well-regarded afternoon tea.
At weekends its bottomless brunch is a big draw, and live music adds to the atmosphere later on. With outdoor seating and a genuinely scenic setting, it is one of the Quay's most popular spots for a leisurely, sociable session by the water.
