About This Pub
Ah, Seahorse Sports Bar – it's one of those local gems in Whitley Bay that really hits the spot for a laid-back evening out. From what I've gathered from the chats online, it's got this welcoming feel where the staff go out of their way to make everyone comfortable, and they've nailed the basics with a solid selection of beers at prices that feel fair and honest. It's especially great for those match days or if you're planning a get-together; folks have raved about the food and how well they handle parties, like that engagement do that sounded absolutely brilliant. On the flip side, though, there was that one experience where things felt a bit off – you know, not everyone felt included, which is a shame and something to keep in mind if you're popping in with a mixed group. Overall, it's got a solid 4.3 rating, which says it's mostly a winner, but like any pub, it's not perfect. If you're after a straightforward, no-fuss spot for a drink and a chat, I'd say give it a go – just go in with an open mind and enjoy the good bits.

Great evening out with a good set of people
Just had our sons engagement party there last night, great room friendly bar staff and food was out of this world. Thank you so much Davey and the staff.
Went to a union quiz event and you'd think the locals hadn't seen anyone Asian before. Unfriendly vibe throughout the evening, patrons get into the 21st century.
Welcoming, friendly. Good selection of beers. Manager Davy can provide good quality food for functions.
Great for a pint at half time and after the match. Quick friendly service and reasonably priced drinks.
