About This Pub
Ah, Square and Compass Bar – it's one of those places that just warms your cockles from the moment you step in. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff are absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and making sure your event or night out goes off without a hitch, whether it's a surprise party or just a casual catch-up. The drinks selection is spot on, with a great range of local brews that add a real touch of the area, and it's all at prices that won't leave you out of pocket. The vibe is quirky and inviting, like a cosy local hideaway that's clean and well-kept, making it perfect for all sorts of get-togethers. On the flip side, though, the opening times can be a tad unpredictable, especially varying on Sundays, so you might end up planning around that. Plus, without a website, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown beforehand, and with the reviews drying up recently, I'm not entirely sure if it's as lively as it once was. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in Whitley Bay – worth a visit if you're in the mood for something genuine and fun, but maybe double-check those hours first!

The best place to host parties, especially surprise ones! The team are so helpful and always ensure everything goes to plan. Really great night!
I attended a baby shower at the Square and Compass yesterday. Such a great space for the event, the bar is quite unique and quirky with a sense of local warming. The service was amazing, and staff were super friendly. The food was great, and accommodating to all dietary requirements. Will definitely be returning!
