The County — Restaurant in South Tyneside

Beer choices are average fodder like... Fosters or Carling, the most interesting one is San Miguel on draught. Would be nice to have something like Brewdog or something thats different to the same old same old. Can we have beer options that are more on trend??? Food I would give 3/5 reasonable burger chips were not great. Lots of great sized screens for watching football which was my main motivation for going. As the game came on there was no commentary audio just music playing over the top of the game. Why would you play music when over the top of a Premier league game?? 2nd half the commentary was on. I find this a bit of an ignorant decision as most would want to hear the game in my opinion. It's a bit like a place you tolerate. It could be much better. Service is good but the products are the problem in my opinion. If you are putting on football we want to hear it! Beer choices - could easily deliver something different...

The County is one of those pubs that feels like a proper local — welcoming, unpretentious, and always buzzing with atmosphere. The first thing you notice walking in is the friendly staff; service is quick, and they make the effort to remember regulars, which adds to the charm.

Drinks are well-priced compared to a lot of places in town, with a good range of beers on tap and the usual pub favourites behind the bar. It’s not a craft beer haven by any means, but you’ll definitely find a solid pint.

The atmosphere is lively without being rowdy. On weekends, the place really comes alive with music and a busy crowd, while weekday afternoons are more relaxed — great if you just want a quiet pint. The décor is classic pub style: nothing fancy, but it feels lived-in and comfortable.

One of the highlights is the sense of community. Whether you’re in for a quick drink before heading into town or staying for the night, there’s always...

Came in here on Sunday for couple drinks with some friends. Can’t comment on food as was only drinks. But had to make a point of reviewing as was some of the best service I’ve received in a pub for a long time. The friendly nature of the staff completely uplifted the experience. It made the atmosphere so much more enjoyable than other pubs in the area. Specifically, if i remember correctly the girl at the bar Eleanor. Was an absolute star, really attentive and helpful with drinks options. She seemed genuinely to be enjoying what she was doing and interacting with customers. You don’t see that often with young employees. She’s a credit to the establishment. Will definitely be recommending and coming in...
