About This Pub
Ah, Kings Arms – what a lovely little find in Blyth! From what I've gathered from the chats and reviews, it's got that real community spirit going on; the staff are dead welcoming, and the locals make you feel like you're catching up with old mates over a pint. I love how they've thought of everything, from the roaring log burner on a frosty night to that charming garden for soaking up the sun in summer – it's just the ticket for a relaxed evening. The beer flows nicely, and those Tuesday nights sound like a riot, with karaoke on Fridays adding a fun twist. But, to be fair, not everyone's chuffed; one person reckoned it's gone a bit too modern, losing that authentic rustic edge with some tacky updates that don't quite hit the mark. Still, overall, it's a solid choice for a good night out, especially if you're up for events or a bit of cheer – I'd say give it a go and see for yourself!

Didn't eat, but a very friendly pub, very clean and prompt service at the bar
Lovely little bar & great owners. The locals are really friendly & love the log burner on cold days. The pork crackling behind the bar is the best I've ever had.
An amazing experience 5*
Sarah and the team were great, we had a private function and could not of asked for more, from providing amazing food to entertainment and helping setup the decorations, everyone had a good time
Will be back again for future events!
Smashing boozer.. Bar staff quickly become friends, warm fire in the winter, lovely garden in the summer.. Recomend Tuesday evenings; WILD.. Karaoke on a Friday is a small, but friendly night..
Good beer, good cheer, what more could you want..
Thank you...
This used to be a gem of a traditional pub with rustic charm and ancient stonewalls.
Now it's just unpleasant, as tacky inside as the outside rendering. I can never understand why people buy a beautiful building like that and spend thousands turning it into a knock off new build.
