About This Pub

Ah, The Fad – it's one of those unassuming pubs that just hits the spot for a good old catch-up with friends. From what I've seen in the reviews, folks absolutely rave about the warm welcomes and the friendly staff who make you feel like a regular straight away. It's got that classic estate bar charm, ideal if you're after a clean spot for a nice pint without any fuss. On the flip side, it's a shame there's not more buzz around it lately, with no recent reviews and a bit of a mystery over the opening times – that could leave you scratching your head if you're popping by on a whim. Still, with a solid 4.4 rating from the crowd, it's worth checking out for a proper, down-to-earth pub experience in South Shields, as long as you're okay with it being a bit under the radar.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a proper local spot with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed pint with mates.
  • They serve nice pints in a clean environment, which always makes for a pleasant visit.
Cons
  • There's not much online info available, like no website or updated hours, which might make it tricky to plan a trip.
  • With only a handful of reviews and none in the last six months, it seems a bit quiet these days.
  • The business isn't claimed by the owners, so you might not get the latest updates on what's happening there.
