Nice pub, great selection of beers. Bit of overkill with the no smoking signs. The smoking area is not very nice either. Why can't a small seating area outside be allowed. Also the smoking area is not very well chair friendly as they cannot get bwar it without blocking access. Now I remember what we didn't stop long last time.

As a lover or real ale, me and my wife went in to the Alum for a drink, big mistake. Eleven real ale pumps with seven of them off and the four that were on were very ordinary. Also while the pub was pretty quiet, there was a table where four loud mouthed, middle aged men were sitting having a competition who could shout and swear the most. Needless to say they had no respect for anyone else in the pub, staff included. Will not be hurrying back.

Having not long moved back to the NE... what a find this has been for me. A gem of a real ale pub in a great location. It's right on the banks of The River Tyne, adjacent to the South Shields Ferry Landing and is a great vantage point for viewing river activity inc. those impressive Cruise liners that creep into the river to reach their berthing points. The quality of the beer is outstanding and the variety is one of the best ranges you will come across. A lovely warm welcome was had from the staff and an even warmer welcome from the log burner creating a great pub atmosphere especially on weekends. Prices are a little on the expensive side, but then you get what you pay for..!!!

Very cosy pub with a log fire fantastic on a cold day, 8-10 cask ales on and they do a taster board 3 or 4 1/3rd of a pint glasses if you cant make your mind up. Barstaff are warm and welcoming. Waiting for the summer so can sit on the decking which surrounds the pub.

The Alum Ale House is such a hidden gem, a beautiful cosy pub with an incredible outdoor area too! Always has offers on drinks too. Bar staff are great and more than welcoming and friendly. The pub also offers some homemade toasties and your pub snacks crisps, nuts etc.. but often puts on small buffets free for their customers!if you haven't been, I'd definitely recommend 👌

What a smashing little place this is! Great pub friendly staff in a lovely setting right on the Tyne, good selection of beers and a superb beer garden for the summer evening or Sunday afternoon sessions. They have brilliant events and live music advertised in and around the location on various nights and weekends which we have enjoyed. The staff and landlord… well what can I say… unreal, I was blown away with how helpful and the kindness in helping me locate a picture/ art work for my dad that he’d seen in the pub when visiting. So a big thank you and keep up the good work. I’ll pop in next time I’m up that way. Really worth a visit to this well run clean pub in a fab location.
