About This Pub

Ah, Bar 52 – what a gem it is down on the seafront in South Shields. I popped in the other day and was really taken by how welcoming it feels, with its modern decor and those big windows overlooking the sea; it's just the sort of place you'd want to while away an afternoon with mates, chatting over a cold beer or wine. The sports bar setup is brilliant too, with plenty of large screens and a pool table for a bit of fun, and the staff are always on hand with a smile and quick service that keeps things flowing nicely. They've got some tasty snacks like chips and chicken to nibble on, though it's not exactly a full-blown restaurant, so if you're peckish for more, you might need to plan ahead. On the downside, one person mentioned not finding the Lithuanian flag they were hoping for, and with things being a bit quiet lately – no fresh reviews in months – it could feel less lively than you'd expect. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back outing, and I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area and fancy a spot of good company and a drink with a view.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's relaxed, modern, and trendy with a lovely sea view that makes you feel right at home.
  • They've got a great selection of beers and wines, perfect for settling in with friends for a good chat or catching the big game on the large TV screens.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff are friendly and efficient, making every visit feel welcoming and enjoyable.
  • It's a clean, bright spot with a fun sports bar theme, including a pool table, which adds to the entertainment without overwhelming the vibe.
  • The snacks and nibbles, like chips and chicken, are delicious and hit the spot for a casual bite while you're there.
Cons
  • The food options are a bit limited, just some basic snacks rather than a full menu, so it might not satisfy if you're after a proper meal.
  • There was a minor grumble from one visitor about not spotting the Lithuanian flag on the wall, which could disappoint if you're looking for specific cultural touches.
  • With no recent reviews in the last six months, it might not be as buzzing as it once was, so things could feel a tad quiet at times.

If you are the type that loves a stylish outing with your friends or other half, with less distraction and a view of the sea as a posture, either for some pints, food or just spending quality time, then Bar52 is where you wanna be. It is a venue entwined with a grand restaurant and a Buddha restaurant as well, hotel accommodation and an event center suitable for any occasion of any size. It is a need to visit the location if you can. #Dee3concepts.

Lovely new bar at the Sea Hotel in South Shields. Relaxed atmosphere and modern, trendy type decor. Serves a limited selection of snacks and nibbles like chips and chicken but they're really delicious.

We thought this was a nice addition to the bars along the sea front. A sports bar theme with a pool table and lots of large TV screens. Clean, bright with American feel. Good selections of beers and wines. We have been back a few times and will continue to do so. Cheers
