Monkseaton Arms in North Tyneside

Great local with good food and great service .

The new menu is brilliant and the meat feast pizza was lovely! James behind the bar was very helpful and friendly.

Excellent service from Ella tonight

Popped into Monkseaton Arms recently and had a really decent time. It's got that laidback, friendly vibe you'd hope for in a local pub good atmosphere without being too loud or over the top. Decent selection of drinks, and the prices were fair too. What really stood out though was the service—Lyla behind the bar was brilliant. Super friendly, quick, and just generally on it. It makes a big difference when the staff are welcoming and know what they're doing. Definitely added to the experience. All in all, a solid spot for a drink. Would happily go back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Whitley's Bay undiscovered treasure If you're looking for a friendly, inviting pub with delicious food, and a wonderful ambiance, then look no farther than Monkseaton Arms. With good reason, this bar on Monkseaton Front street has grown to be a local favourite and I am not surprised why, the staff is wonderful and I'd like to give a big shoutout to Lyla and Patrick, some of the most warm and welcoming bartenders I have ever had the experience to deal with, they made my visit to the pub an even better experience than I imagined going in for the first time, if I could I would give this pub a 6/5 just for that alone!

Food was Michelin star and drinks were good value for money. Barman called Patrick I think was exceptional at his job deserves raise.

What a lovely lunch. The waitress was absolutely delightful and very very helpful with our little group of three generations . The food was all tasty and didn’t take long to come and we would definitely come back again.

Excellent bar for food and sports highly recommend... staff are sound too

Good place for a decent pint and a chat with friends.

Lunchtime and it's very busy here also live entertainment to enjoy. Excellent bacon Cheeseburger and fries with an awesome pint. Cannot fault the speed of service and the atmosphere

Excellent pub, friendly staff, good service and massive selection of drinks. Enjoyed a lovely afternoon with some old friends. I have actually been a customer in the pub since 1975, 50 years. It has always been a great pub.

Popped in for lunch on a Thursday. Good pub grub and plenty of "offers". Jazz on Thursday lunchtime made it a popular lunchtime venue.

Lovely little pub. Drove passed and decided to pop in and try it out. Friendly staff and we will definitely be back in the summer to sit outside.

Haven’t had a meal in this pub for some time, so decided to pop in for a late lunch on what was a busy Saturday afternoon. The place was quite full, and although it was a bit noisy because the England/Ireland Rugby match was showing on the screens, it was still a pleasant atmosphere. There was only one spare table, so we took our chance thinking it would be a little while before our meal would be served. We bought drinks, and ordered our food which for a busy pub, arrived very quickly. The service and staff were absolutely first class and we couldn’t fault our meals. No disappointment here, so well done to manager Leigh and the Staff.

Good beer. Friendly staff. Dogs always welcome

Had a couple of drinks on Christmas Day. Comfortable, friendly and a nice atmosphere. Will return

We really enjoy the weekly quiz. Have on occasion eaten here and find the food to be good.

Not a picture hoose but the best Monkseaton Arms experience you’ll have

The Monkey is my local and you tend not to write reviews for something so prosaic that you use all the time and frankly take for granted. Having said that I have to give a shout out to the current crop of young staff that make visiting the Monky a real pleasure. Whether in the bar with members of the world famous MCC or in the “posh end” with my wife, the service and banter from Lee’s staff is brilliant.Emmy,Hannah,Adams, Sarah,Patrick, Shanon and many more. Take a bow.Thanks

Great atmospheric pub. Warm and welcoming. Food great value. Adam the chef well done and thanks for coming to see us. Patrick and Hannah bar staff looked after us well and were attentive and chatty

Fantastic venue, great for sport, service was fantastic and pub was so clean! Big shout out to Patrick for exceptional service

Great pub to watch sport in a friendly atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and on point. They have a good range of drinks and an excellent value happy hour which lasts 3 hours. Some good premium drinks on it such as Brew Dog & Madr

10/10 service. Staff polite and friendly. Would def recommend a visit!

Needs an update on furnitions. Gaffer tape to cover seats

A lovely visit to my local. Friendly team members and well run. Fantastic prices and good quality food.

Enjoyed birthday drinks and quiz

Great atmosphere, lovely food and good service. 5 star experience. Thanks

Great food and even better service! Adam who served us was class and we’d definitely return. Those chicken strips are second to none

Great local pub. Staff friendly. Decent pint of beer... dogs welcome

Lovely staff, food was wonderful definitely will be coming back

Delectable food. The vibe was stupendous. Big up the chef. All staff were very hospitable and had great chat. Will definitely be back again.

Food is great, my steak was superb, however, the vegetarian options are a bit limited.

Love the large screen tv for football games

The lounge bar was pleasant. Gents toilets were below average. Food portions slightly smaller than expected.

Just wanted to say what a good experience I had this week. The staff member that served us I think her name was Hannah provided an exceptional service, she was friendly, polite, efficient and when we needed advice on what food to order she was able to recommend meals that suited all our tastes and dietary requirements. A big thank you to her and all at the Monkseaton arms for making our family meal an enjoyable experience.

Lovely village pub with great management and staff and good food service

Staff today were very surley could do alot better been coming to monkseaton arms for years think a bit of staff training could be improved.

Great for a casual lunch. Very good deals on tapas small plates. Thoroughly enjoyed by me and my friend and a good selection of hot drinks too.

Great food and a fantastic selection of beers. The beer garden is well looked after and the staff are very friendly. Thank you.

Amazing food and service. Very friendly waitress - Lianne. Couldn’t have enjoyed visit more.

Hannah served me tonight and was amazingly friendly just like the rest of the staff it’s allways quick service and lovely food

Took the family in for our dinner. It was excellent even the kids menue was great especially for the price. The staff, Shannon, Jude, Patrick at the bar were brilliant with the kids, and the kitchen staff, Warren and Adam were great. Had a brilliant afternoon and all fed and watered for a very reasonable price at excellent quality. Give it a go people.👍

A great pub with a good ambience, and a bunch of regular locals which add to the atmosphere. There is a good mid-week quiz, and the pub is very popular at weekends.. TV and sport channels are available for those who like that sort of thing. Excellent Friday night venue for a friends meet-up, but the downside is the high volume of background music (which no-one is interested in when the pub is busy), and tends to be quite annoying at times making it difficult to have a conversation in comfort.

beautiful food, lovely staff, will defo be back

Great food and very tasty ,not too long of a wait even though the lounge was busy, food came piping hot with chips and sauces

come in the odd Friday, Shannon always smiley and chatty. Great pub

Massive thanks to the Monkseaton Arms for the atmosphere and fantastic experience of watching the boxing the other night, the atmosphere was vibrant and highly enjoyable for all of us!

Superb all round. Especially Hannah with her sunny disposition and kind words.

Absolutely brilliant for food and drinks . Staff great and very helpful we come here every couple of weeks.would highly recommend

Had food here many times, and it was spot on, a big shout to Warren & Dan the Chef's in the kitchen whi work hard behind the scenes to feed everyone.👍👍👍👍👍

The Staff are friendly, which helps with the atmosphere. Menu a little limited, but very nice. Can be very busy at times, but the smiles remain.

Visited for lunch the other day after a walk down the coast. Lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. The food was lush and great value too! Would recommend popping in here!

The staff are lovely nothings a bother, had food and it was excellent as usual. Warren and Dan the Chef's do a brilliant job and we would like to thank them for their hard work.

Had an excellent time at the quiz on Wednesday. The big server we had was lovely all night and made it a great experience for a first time at the quiz. Thanks to James from the bar staff even if you weren’t as knowledgable of the quiz answers as you were of cocktails!

Great friendly pub, 1st class service provided, especially Adam, who delivered drinks to table to accommodate my disability. Nice vibe definitely be back!

Certainly the best pub in Monkseaton! Always a friendly welcome from the staff, too many names to mention! Service usually very prompt, and with a smile! Good atmosphere, great place for drinks, for food, for watching the match!

Had lunch today with my hubby and daughters, food cooked to perfection and staff were really lovely and friendly, nice atmosphere, we'll definitely be back!

Table booked, offer on lager and food which was very tasty. Good atmosphere

Table very noisy area and food not great. People in pub lovely and friendly

All round pretty decent place for food and drink. Comfortable place and is very lively for a pub quiz, although that does go on pretty long. Order at the table via. QR code. Prices are pretty good and certainly get some good portions

We popped in unexpectedly after a funeral, just to have a few drinks with friends... we were all so comfortable that we didn't leave until almost 6 hours later 😁 I also had some of the NICEST PIZZA, EVER! Stone baked, stretched to perfection, thin and crispy, loads of quality toppings, and finished with garlic butter 😋🤌 I didn't know a margarita could BE so delicious 🫶

What a great night...fantastic singer...thank you to all the staff too...Will definitely be back again

Great staff and atmosphere, food and drinks are brilliant, an excellently run pub, and one of my favourites.

Great food, menu only keeps getting better and super friendly staff. I always feel like one of the team.

Came for newcastle match, great atmosphere and cheerful staff. Definitely the place to go to watch the football

I wanted to express my gratitude for the positive and helpful service provided by Trevor(Hannah). Her attentiveness and willingness to assist made my experience at the bar truly enjoyable. Thank you!

I have been socialising in monkseaton for over twenty years and the monkseaton Arms is by far my favourite, the atmosphere and the sports available but by far the best thing about the bar is the bar staff who are exceptional and so friendly but also very witty especially hannah Sarah and Shannon all make your night every time you go

Good choice of beers at reasonable prices

Outstanding food, the service from all staff is incredible

Great services staff are lovely and very welcoming recommend the place to everyone! Food is stunning and good selection on alcohol!

Have had the best experience, staff are tremendous, and managed so well. Great food and great selection of drinks. So friendly.👍

Popped in recently for lunch with my wife and the kids. Great food options with good portions, really tasty too - all for a good price! Lovely atmosphere with very helpful and friendly staff. Definitely returning soon!

Lovely staff, lovely lunch with my little girl, staff were really kind

With having celiac disease it can be very difficult to find somewhere to eat that will take it seriously. When ordering food they asked me if I had any allergies or dietary requirements. When I told them they straight away pulled out a tablet which eliminated any food which I could not eat. They then went on to explain their step by step process of how they would ensure that my food was safe for me to eat.

Lovely service, staff are very welcoming, food was excellent, a great night would highly recommend.

Don't eat burgers here. I wanted to have a burger here in the evening. I ordered and I was really hungry, but it wasn't a burger. It was a burger patty that was burnt too much. I definitely do not recommend it, it was a really bad burger experience for me.

Our first visit.Lovely friendly pub, came for pre-show drinks and food before going to Whitley Bay Playhouse. Food was delicious, staff very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again ☺️

Great bar, friendly staff, could do with better choice of ales/craft beer.

Good food, reasonably priced drinks, great atmosphere

Have to say a huge thank you to the staff at this pub. Yesterday we came in for a family birthday and the staff where fantastic. We had lovely pizza's and kids tea, nothing is a problem to this great team. Thank you again Julie.

Food was really good. Will definitely be back

Always a good pub to visit, right in the heart of the village, always the busiest, food is nice and so is the beer

Excellent friendly staff, great food and very well priced, great selection if drinks and really good prices with many different meal and drink deals. Can't recommend the pub enough.👍👍👍

What a fantastic pub. We called in for a quick pint. Lovely sunny day so we sat outside on the decking. Large screen TV with sport showing. We decided to stay for food. They had a deal on, Tuesday, 2 pizzas for the price of 1. Fantastic. Fresh tasty pizza. It also turned out to be happy hour 5pm to 8pm, £3 per drink on selected drinks. Great pub. Great food. Great staff. Spot on.
