Just what North Shields needs a quintessentially British Family run Micro pub, close to restaurant's, taxi ranks and smack bang in a perfect place to continue on to a great night out. It's a Fifty seater seriously hipster pub. The quality and variety of the local drinks on tap and on the shelves is astonishing. The passion and knowledge the family have about the local products is nothing less than brilliant and I learned as I drank. The guy's and girls have opened a dream and the passion passes on to the customers. Being a local North Tyneside lad I wasn't sure if this would be a place I'd be comfortable with my trainers on and I was wrong it's for everyone it's a grown up place with British at the for front. Drinks are reasonably priced £4.00 a pint for there best lager and down from that and it makes it stand out as a contender for a cheap quality night out. They have Koke from jesmond and Vodka from Whitley there's Durham beers and up the road Tonics, there passionate and there knowledge goes in every single drop. I'd recommend this as a must see. Its new and yes it needs a couple things but its like a good Guinness it takes time to perfect. Nuts would bless some of those drinks and help keep the pallet wanting more. Wi-Fi might've helped and I know backround music needs a clear answer from the council but as a local British Family run Micro pub that's helping raise North Tyneside profile they must say yes in my eye's. More cushions my bum is bony. There's good coffee for a night cap after a meal. It closes at 22.00 three days a week and 23.00 on rhe other four which makes it a great time to get a taxi, usually 15 minutes during the week and more on a weekend ask staff for a good company theres a few near by. Good...
Read moreOver the moon that we have somewhere like this in shields. Will be a huge bonus for the town centre. Nothing pretentious here at all, they've done a lovely job with the refurb (check out the chairs - the metal is recycled from WW2 aeroplanes) and the staff are friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable about the beer without being overbearing. Seems to be attracting a mixed crowd, all sorts and different ages! Doggy friendly too. Nice selection of local gins. Also low alcohol beers and soft drinks, plus teas and coffees so boozing isn't mandatory! (Oh, and the toilets are very fancy - me mam...
Read moreSituated about five minute from North Shields is Enigma Tap room Its has a modern and contempory design inside (doesn't feel like your usual Micro bar).
They have a good selection of alcohol from ales, ciders, larger, wines and spirits and they have a selection if guest ales from local breweries. Whilst they selection I did like, it would be nice if they had a few more.
They also have a good selection of cans and they also have doggy treats if you pop in and have a dog.
I'll definatly be...
