Verified

97/100
Pranzo Trattoria & Deli is a charming Italian gem in Whitley Bay, serving up tasty authentic cuisine with a warm, welcoming feel, though it's wise to plan ahead for a spot.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious, with standout pizzas, pasta, and sandwiches that have people raving and coming back for more.
  • Friendly staff and quick service create a really welcoming atmosphere, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a relaxed, family-friendly spot with a great vibe, ideal for casual catch-ups over some proper Italian grub.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of Italian wines, sourced straight from the vineyards, which pair beautifully with the meals.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the starters can be a bit on the small side, so you might find yourself wanting a little more to tide you over.
  • The pasta dishes aren't always as saucy as you'd expect, which could leave you wishing for that extra bit of flavour punch.
  • It's super popular, so you'll need to book ahead to snag a table and avoid any disappointment on the night.
  • With limited opening hours – closed a few days a week – it might not be available whenever the fancy takes you.

The Roxburgh is a real hidden gem in Whitley Bay, dishing up exquisite fine dining in a cosy, relaxed setting that's all about treating yourself to something special.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely top-notch, with fresh, high-quality ingredients like North Yorkshire lamb and hand-dived scallops that make every bite feel special and memorable.
  • The service is warm and attentive, with staff who really know their stuff and add to the relaxed, cosy atmosphere – perfect for a special night out.
  • They've got a cracking tasting menu that's full of surprises, especially with those wine pairings that offer great value and enhance the whole experience.
  • The setting is just lovely, a small bistro-style spot that's intimate and welcoming, making it ideal for celebrations or a treat with friends or family.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a tad pricey, especially for the wine, which might not quite live up to the cost for some, so it's worth budgeting carefully.
  • The lack of menu cards means you might have to ask for explanations on the dishes, which could be a bit frustrating if you're not in the mood to quiz the staff.
  • With limited opening times – just Friday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday – it can be tricky to pop in spontaneously, so planning ahead is a must.

Areas for Improvement

The Left Luggage Room is a delightful little craft beer haven tucked away in Monkseaton station – it's got a warm, welcoming vibe and some cracking beers that make it a must-visit for a relaxed pint with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The selection of craft beers is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of local brews that really hit the spot for anyone who appreciates a good pint.
  • The staff are so friendly and know their stuff – they're always up for a chat and happy to recommend something new, making you feel right at home.
  • That outdoor seating area is a real treat, especially on a sunny evening; it's sheltered, away from the hustle, and perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The atmosphere is wonderfully quirky and unique, set in a historic old luggage room at the station – it's all about great conversation without any distractions.
  • Prices are pretty reasonable for the quality on offer, so you can enjoy a top-notch drink without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • It sticks to craft beers and finer spirits, so if you're after something mainstream like a cheap lager, you might be out of luck.
  • There's no telly around, which means it's not the place to pop in for a match – more for those cosy chats than big-screen action.
  • Being right by the metro station, you might hear the odd train rumbling through, which could disrupt the peace every now and then.
  • The focus is quite niche on specialist drinks, so it might not appeal as much if you're not particularly into craft beer or want a broader menu.

  • Location is ace – easy parking right outside and just a short walk from the Monkseaton Metro, so it's super convenient to pop in after a day out.
  • With a stellar 4.7 rating from plenty of happy visitors, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a top-notch experience for beer enthusiasts.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens from 2 PM, which might be a bit late if you're hoping for a lunchtime pint or an early start to your evening.
  • They're not open every day of the week, so you'll have to plan around that if you're keen on a mid-week visit.
  • The online presence is a tad limited – it's mostly on Facebook, and I had a spot of bother accessing more details, which could make it tricky to check things out in advance.
  • As a tap house, it seems focused on drinks rather than food, so if you're after a full meal, you might need to head elsewhere afterwards.

  • As a smaller venue with only a moderate number of reviews, it might not be as buzzing or well-known, so it could feel quiet at times.

The Dog And Rabbit is a charming micro pub in Whitley Bay with a fantastic beer range and a relaxed, friendly vibe, though you'll need to plan around the parking and opening times.
Pros and Cons

The Rockcliffe Arms

4.6(448 reviews)
92/100
The Rockcliffe Arms is a proper gem of a traditional pub in Whitley Bay – think welcoming vibes, solid beers, and a relaxed spot for watching the footie, all at great value.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got that authentic, traditional pub vibe that makes you feel right at home, with a cosy setup and plenty of old trophies and photos to admire.
  • The beers are well-kept and reasonably priced, making it a brilliant spot for a casual pint without breaking the bank.
  • Friendly staff and welcoming locals create a great atmosphere, especially if you're popping in for a chat or to catch some Sky Sports on the screens.
  • They've got unique touches like homemade jams available – just remember to book them in advance for a lovely little extra.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a bit basic with just the one bar and not much in the way of food options, so if you're after a full meal, you could be out of luck.
  • Things can be quiet at off-peak times, like a Monday evening, which is fine for a peaceful drink but might not suit if you're after a lively buzz.
  • Without a website or much online presence, it's tricky to check details ahead of time, so you might end up winging it when you visit.

The Boatyard Brunch Café is a charming seaside spot with cracking food and a warm welcome, though it has its moments with service speed.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – fresh, locally sourced ingredients make for delicious brunches and treats, with plenty of vegan options to suit everyone.
  • The staff are so welcoming and friendly, offering that proper Geordie hospitality that makes you feel right at home.
  • It's in a cracking spot on the Cullercoats seafront, perfect for a relaxed outing with a sea view, and it's dog-friendly too, which is a real bonus for us animal lovers.
  • They've got a great selection of drinks, from top-notch coffee and teas to local beers and cocktails, all served with a smile.
  • The atmosphere is lovely and laid-back, ideal for a casual catch-up or a quick bite after a walk along the bay.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can sometimes be a tad slow, especially when it's busy, which might leave you waiting a bit longer than you'd like.
  • There have been a few mentions of food not always being cooked just right, like overcooked eggs or reheated dishes that could do with a fresh touch.
  • It's walk-ins only, so you might not get a table straight away if it's popular, which can be a bit of a faff on peak days.

Takdir is a charming Indian kitchen and cocktail bar in Whitley Bay that's all about tasty, flavour-packed meals and a welcoming vibe – a real gem for a relaxed evening with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely bursting with flavour – think delicious Indian curries and grills that leave you wanting more, all at a reasonable price.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home, like you're chatting with old mates over a meal.
  • It's got a lovely relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a casual evening out, with mouth-watering cocktails to boot.
  • Great value for money, especially with options like the banquet menu that's packed with variety and quantity.
  • Prime spot on the Whitley Bay seafront, so you can enjoy a scenic view after a breezy walk along the coast.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit slow at times, like when waiting for the mains to arrive, which might put a damper on a quick night out.
  • Parking is limited around the area, so you might end up with a bit of a walk if you're driving.
  • It's only open in the evenings, which is a shame if you're hoping for a lunch spot or a spontaneous daytime visit.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – authentic Turkish dishes with mouth-watering meze, barbecue, and seafood options that feel like a proper taste of Turkey.
  • It's got these breathtaking sea views right on the Whitley Bay seafront, making every meal feel like a little escape, perfect for a relaxed catch-up with mates.
  • The service is brilliant; the staff are friendly, attentive, and not at all overbearing, letting you take your time to enjoy the vibe.
  • Portions are generous and the prices are fair for the quality, so you get great value without breaking the bank.
  • It's open seven days a week with a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for everything from a casual lunch to a special dinner.
Areas for Improvement
  • The current status seems a bit unclear – it says it's closed, but the schedule shows it's operating, so it might be worth double-checking before heading out to avoid any disappointment.
  • If you're after a traditional pub feel with pints and pub grub, this is more of a restaurant vibe focused on Turkish cuisine, so it might not suit everyone.
  • It can get busy, especially with those stunning views, which means you might need to book ahead and could face a wait if you don't.

Spanish City in Whitley Bay is a charming, historic gem that's perfect for a delightful meal and a bit of nostalgia, though it does get lively and might not suit late-night plans.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The architecture is absolutely stunning—it's this beautiful white dome that's a real treat to see, both inside and out, with those grand arches and expansive seating areas that make you feel like you're in a piece of history.
  • The food is top-notch, especially the fish and chips, which have won awards and are just delicious; plenty of portions and great value for the surroundings, perfect for a hearty meal after a walk along the promenade.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always attentive and polite, which really makes the visit enjoyable and welcoming.
  • It's a fantastic spot for special occasions, like anniversaries or weddings, with a buzzing atmosphere and options for afternoon tea or events that leave you feeling celebrated.
  • The place is spotlessly clean and offers lovely views, making it a great all-rounder for a relaxed day out in Whitley Bay.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get quite busy, especially on bank holidays or weekends, which might mean waits for tables or a more crowded feel that takes away from the relaxed vibe.
  • With moderate pricing, it might feel a bit steep for everyday visits, particularly if you're just popping in for a quick drink or bite.
  • The operating hours vary and often wrap up earlier in the day, around 4 PM typically, so it's not ideal if you're after a late-night spot for drinks or evening entertainment.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – from tasty breakfasts like the Hash bowl with chorizo and halloumi to delicious tapas and specials, it's clear they've got a knack for flavourful, well-cooked meals that leave you wanting more.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, including loads of wines, ales, whiskies, gins, and cocktails, plus great deals like four tapas and two drinks for under £30, which feels like brilliant value for a relaxed outing.
  • The atmosphere is just what you'd hope for in a local bar – laid-back and welcoming, with spacious tables and a warm vibe that makes it easy to unwind, and it's even dog-friendly, which is a real bonus if you're popping in with your furry mate.
  • Service is friendly and efficient; folks have mentioned getting a lovely welcome and being seated quickly, which adds to that homely feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • Seating can sometimes be a mismatch for groups, like if you're with little ones and end up at a high bar table instead of something more suitable, which might make things a tad uncomfortable for families.
  • Their hours for food service are a bit staggered, with breakfast wrapping up early and evening options finishing before the bar closes, so you might have to plan around that if you're aiming for a full meal.
  • While the overall rating is high, a few reviews hint at minor niggles with reservations or specifics like not getting the exact table you hoped for, which could be frustrating on busier days.

Pros and Cons

  • Being a family-run spot, it has a real community feel, with extras like wheelchair access and parking making it easy for everyone to pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food service wraps up a bit early, so if you're after a late-night bite, you might need to plan ahead – it's until 7:30 on weekdays and even earlier on Sundays.
  • As a local community pub, it could feel a tad quiet or less vibrant on off-peak nights if you're seeking a more lively, buzzing scene.
  • The menu, while tasty, doesn't seem to have a huge variety beyond the classics, which might not excite if you're in the mood for something a bit more adventurous.

  • It has a traditional, older-style feel that might not appeal to everyone looking for something more modern

Willow Bay is a charming cocktail bar in Whitley Bay that's all about good vibes, friendly faces, and lively events – a hidden gem for a fun evening.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make you feel at home – perfect for a relaxed night out.
  • They've got a brilliant atmosphere with fun events like Tuesday quizzes, bingo, salsa classes, karaoke, and open mic nights that really bring people together.
  • The cocktails are top-notch and reasonably priced, with deals like two for £13, and they've even got standout options like the Willow Blue Island that folks rave about.
  • It's a great spot for special occasions; one group had a free booking for an engagement party and had an absolute blast.
  • As a cocktail bar, it shines in Whitley Bay, offering a cosy vibe that's ideal for enjoying drinks and socialising.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a handful of reviews online, it might not be the most well-known spot, so you could miss out if you're not in the loop.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit tricky to get more details or check updates before heading over.
  • The operating status seems a tad unclear right now, and with no recent reviews in the last six months, it might not be as active as you'd hope.
  • Review volume is quite low overall, so if you're after a buzzing, popular venue, this one feels more understated and niche.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is absolutely spot-on – think outstanding dishes like gluten-free nachos and hearty Sunday roasts that keep everyone coming back for more.
  • Staff are lovely and super attentive, making you feel right at home whether you're popping in for a quick drink or a full meal.
  • It's got a chilled, cosy vibe that's perfect for catching up with friends, and being dog-friendly means you can bring your four-legged mates along.

  • Family-friendly too, with options that even fussy eaters enjoy, and it's easy to get a table with walk-ins or reservations.
Areas for Improvement
  • Cocktails can be a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to keep an eye on the bill if you're splashing out.
  • The atmosphere can sometimes feel a tad quiet, especially on off-peak afternoons like a Friday, which might not suit those after a lively buzz.
  • Bottomless options aren't available every day – for instance, not on Fridays – so it's worth checking ahead if that's what you're after.

The Queens Head is a charming coastal pub with a welcoming feel, great grub most of the time, and lovely staff, but keep an eye out for the odd slip-up with the food.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a brilliant spot right by the coast, making it perfect for a sunny day out with outdoor seating to soak in the views
  • The staff are really friendly and accommodating, always up for a chat and making you feel welcome
  • The food's generally spot on, with tasty options like the Sunday roast and scotch eggs – hearty portions at a fair price
  • The place is spotlessly clean, with a nice atmosphere and even dog-friendly perks like free treats and water
  • They're planning some exciting interior redesigns, so it's got potential for even more of a lively vibe in the future
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss, like that disappointing Sunday lunch with wrong meats, frozen bits, and a strong garlic taste that doesn't suit everyone
  • It can feel a bit quiet at times, which might not hit the spot if you're after a buzzing crowd
  • Some meals haven't lived up to the hype, especially for the price, so it's worth checking what's on offer before diving in

Areas for Improvement
  • Pints can be a tad more expensive than at some other places, which might make you think twice if you're watching the pennies.
  • There might be some inconsistencies with the experience over time, as one chap mentioned things had gone downhill after a few months, though we don't have the full story.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing – there's always something fun going on, like a cheeky chat with the landlord or lively events that make for great memories.
  • Friendly staff who make you feel right at home; they're welcoming and add to that warm, community vibe.
  • A solid selection of drinks at really good prices, including popular brands like Guinness and Heineken, perfect for a casual catch-up.
  • It's been freshly refurbished, so the place is clean, modern, and comfortable with plenty of natural light and good wifi for those who fancy a relaxed pint.
  • Brilliant for sports fans with market-leading coverage on TNT and Sky Sports, and they host events like karaoke or live bands that keep things entertaining.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer quality can be a bit hit or miss; some have said the Guinness isn't up to scratch, which is a shame for ale enthusiasts.
  • There might be the odd hiccup with the TVs, like channels changing mid-game, which could spoil the moment during a big match.
  • With only a handful of reviews, it feels like it hasn't quite built up a massive following yet, so you might not know what to expect on a quiet night.

The Kittiwake is a charming pub in Whitley Bay that's spot on for a laid-back Sunday lunch or a casual pint, with friendly vibes and tasty food, though it can get a bit chaotic when busy.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The Sunday lunches are an absolute treat – classic favourites with a modern twist, all gluten-free, made with fresh ingredients and loads of love, perfect for a relaxed meal.
  • Friendly and welcoming service that makes you feel right at home, like popping in for a quick drink and ending up chatting away.
  • A solid selection of beers and pub grub with plenty of flavour, served on hot plates, and pints at a reasonable £4-5, which is great value.
  • It's a nice local spot with a relaxed vibe, where you can catch live sports and even have a chat with the regulars – feels community-oriented.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit tricky to find, tucked away in a housing estate, so you might end up wandering around before you spot it.
  • There have been times when it's understaffed, leading to long waits, especially during busy events like match days, which can put a damper on things.
  • One or two experiences mentioned disappointing service, like not being served promptly, so it might not always hit the mark if it's heaving.

The Sandpiper is a welcoming pub in Cullercoats with hearty grub, friendly vibes, and a lively feel, though it's not flawless when it comes to every bite.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally spot on, with tasty options like homemade chips and succulent mains that really hit the spot.
  • Staff are friendly and incredibly helpful, especially when you're sorting out events or gatherings with a group.
  • It has a cracking atmosphere, perfect for watching sports or just catching up with mates over well-kept beers and a good selection of ales.
  • The menu offers plenty of choice, making it a great spot for a hearty meal or a casual drink.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit hit or miss with seasoning, like overly salty sauces that might put you off your meal.
  • Portions can be on the large side, which isn't always a good thing if it means the flavours don't quite balance out.

The Champagne Bar in Whitley Bay is a charming spot with breathtaking sea views and a cracking drink menu, ideal for relaxed meet-ups, though watch out for occasional service slip-ups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The sea views are absolutely stunning, especially overlooking St Mary's Lighthouse – it's a real treat while sipping your drink.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of drinks, from champagnes and proseccos to cocktails and beers, making it easy to find something for everyone.
  • Live music on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunches adds a cheerful buzz, perfect for livening up a get-together with friends.
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a spacious, contemporary design that's great for casual chats or special occasions.
  • Staff are generally friendly and helpful, creating a relaxed vibe for enjoying a quick drink or a longer catch-up.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be a bit inconsistent at times, like one experience where someone waited ages for a simple soft drink and ended up leaving frustrated.
  • Only light snacks are on offer, so if you're hoping for a proper meal, you might need to head elsewhere afterwards.
  • Bookings can be tricky with limited availability, so it's wise to plan ahead rather than turning up on a whim.
  • The place seems to have a quieter vibe overall, which might not suit those after a lively, bustling night out.

Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can be a bit confusing with varying times, and it might close earlier than you'd hope for a proper night out.

  • The website's a bit of a letdown with access issues, which could make it tricky to check menus or events beforehand.

The Fox Hunters in North Shields is a solid, welcoming pub for enjoying good grub, catching the big games, and having a chat with friends – it's got that cosy, community feel without trying too hard.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • The food is spot on – think tasty flame-grilled dishes like the XL mixed grill, which folks rave about for being well-cooked and reasonably priced.
  • It's a relaxed spot for catching live sports, with plenty of screens showing events like the Women's Euros or rugby tours, perfect for a lively evening with mates.
  • Family-friendly vibes with disabled access and even dog-friendly policies, so it's great for all sorts of get-togethers.
  • Convenient facilities like a car park and WiFi make it easy to pop in for a quick coffee or a full meal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Prices can feel a tad steep, especially when you're after something more than just a pint or a basic bite.
  • The menu's gone a bit generic lately, losing some of those fun food challenges that used to make it stand out.
  • While it's generally relaxed, it might not suit everyone if you're after something more unique or adventurous in a pub setting.

Beefeater Whitley Bay is a welcoming pub with stunning sea views and solid deals on grub, though the food can sometimes be a mixed bag.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The sea views are absolutely cracking, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal or a pint on a sunny day.
  • Staff are top-notch and really friendly, like the ones mentioned in reviews who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
  • Great value with affordable lunch deals, such as mains under £8 from Monday to Friday – perfect for a budget-friendly bite.
  • Solid selection of British classics and a decent breakfast buffet with fresh items and cooked-to-order options.
  • Family-friendly vibe, ideal for a casual outing with the little ones, as it's spacious and accommodating.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be a bit disappointing, like the fish that's more batter than fish, or the steak sandwich that doesn't quite deliver.
  • Food quality is inconsistent – it's fine for a quick meal, but it might not always live up to the hype, as a few folks have found it just average.
  • As a chain restaurant, it lacks that unique local charm, feeling a tad generic compared to independent spots.
  • Closing times can vary, so it's worth checking in advance to avoid any surprises, especially if you're planning a late visit.

Havana in Whitley Bay is a lively bar with a welcoming vibe and fun music nights, but it's let down by occasional safety concerns and inconsistent management.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really inviting with great decorations and a solid location right in the heart of Whitley Bay, making it easy to pop in after exploring the area.
  • Friendly staff and a fun 90s music vibe that can get you up and dancing, especially if you're in the mood for a nostalgic night out.
  • It's a budget-friendly spot, and you might snag free entry if you've got stamps from nearby places like the Brewery bar – that's a cheeky little perk!
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some worrying safety issues, like an incident in the toilets that wasn't handled properly by the team, which could put a damper on your evening.
  • Management seems a bit lacking, with complaints about noise and rowdy behaviour when they close up at 2am, disturbing folks trying to sleep nearby.
  • The music isn't what it used to be, according to some regulars, and it's only open a few nights a week, which might not suit if you're after something more regular.
