The Brewery in North Tyneside

Been here a few times, great food and great customer service. Special mention to a girl called Amelia who has a brilliant working attitude and will go above and beyond to help customers

Nice laid back pub for a few quiet pints.

Food really good only complaint for me was it was too big portion ha ha !!

A comfortable and neighbourly place to get a beer, play darts or have a bite. You'll like it there!

Great night it was a private silver wedding anniversary staff amazing 👏 Good luck to them in there new venture

Our favourite WB public house. Always visit when in WB … unfortunately this is only once a year. All staff very attentive, great prices and food awesome. Ate in the premise's on Saturday and had take away Sunday roast today. Chef John absolutely brand new, and always ensuring patrons are happy with their food and service. 10/10 🌟

This is the pub I always pay a visit when staying in Whitley Bay. Ever since 1997. It wasn't called The Brewery back then (Fritszgeralds?), but it's still the same good atmosphere. A typical "brown" English pub with some maritime decoration. Just lovely. I could sit her for hours. The only thing I would knock on is the menu. I miss the sandwiches. I went for the baguettes, but it is too massive for a light meal. A simple cheddar cheese sandwich would be just fine. But anyway, this is still my "local pub", when I visit Whitley Bay. Good beers, ciders and nice staff. Thanks again :)

Not keen on the brewery, service was not so good. No atmosphere, the brewery is dated ,needs bri ginger up to date

Decent outside sitting area , inside a bit dark and mens toilets need a bit of attention but overall decent

girl behind bar amelia drinks my coke when i order it and blows on the bubbles. moody upon customer service xoxoxoooxx (she’s my sister)

Cracking pub beer really decent staff really friendly whats not to like. A pint is a tad more expensive than some places but quality drink. No idiots nice relaxing atmosphere 👌 Six months later Well update and it's not good.. returned to this pub after six months no clue what has happened the beer was terrible flat,the pub smelled damp and not pleasant the men's toilets need a deep clean awful smell here too, one of the bench seats in the lounge area was ripped to shreds and all the foam hanging out could go on all day just unbelievable from being a great pub to the worst in such a short time,wished I'd had the presence of mind to photo the damage etc.

Lovely food great staff. Wheelchair accessible

Decent place, was already steaming when I got there to be fair but it was a good night.

It was all oK. The atmosphere is tired and dated. The food was tasty but menu is typical pub grub, not very healthy. If you're after cheap & cheerful in an older style atmosphere, then it's ok. Biggest let down was the loo. The gents toilet looked like a scene from Train Spotting! To be honest, If we had seen this first, we wouldn't have ordered food.

Friendly atmosphere...reasonably priced

Absolutely disgusting I wouldn't have gave this a star if I was able too. !! After going to the jam jar cinema which I would give 100 stars..!! I have disabilities and as we approach the pub a member of staff having a tab break refused entry to the pub with the accusation that I was intoxicated..Sunday 07/07/24 at approx 8.30 pm I have disabilities and specifically in my right foot....!! Absolutely appalling and I would suggest that yr staff be trained on awareness of possible disabilities it's not often I get out with having disabilities as I am unable to walk And on this occasion this staff member totally spoiled our evening totally humiliated me and I felt degraded and hurt so for that reason I have left this review and I would never spend any time in this establishment U SHOULD BE AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE ASHAMED OF HOW YR STAFF MEMBERS TREAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES 😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬😡

Good service and friendly staff.

Comfortable place with decent beer.

Food amazing as always Staff friendly and pleasant Clean and cosy atmosphere

Traditional style pub with a great atmosphere.

First time visiting this pub and was not disappointed got OAP Sunday lunch £6.95 wow there was so much to eat I couldn’t finish it got lots of meat melted in your mouth Yorkshire pudding was lovely and my son got 2 course me either a starter and mains or mains and a sweet he got mains and sweet £13.95 really recommend this if your hungry meals finish on Sunday at 4pm

I ate here with my wife. We ordered fish and chips and scampi and chips. The portions were generous and the quality was excellent. The service was super and the food was served piping hot. The prices were also very reasonable. It was also great that our dog was accepted without any reservations. Well worth a visit.

Quality food and drinks, friendly helpful staff

Nice pub. Good service and a nice pint

The Chef goes out of his way so I can eat in this establishment. I have multiple allergies and usually can't eat out unless its very basic food ,many thanks . Recommended.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast, couldn't eat it all, stuffed to the gills, washed down with a refreshing Stellar. Staff go out there way to help especially the barman with the glasses. definitely will be back.

1st time in years, and quite frankly, I was impressed..... Stella was £4.40 a pint and served with a smile. It was good, the place was quiet at the time of visiting but I could see it being busy at other times. There is a beer garden at the front and at the back, so there are plenty of places to get a seat. It's clean and tidy with spotless toilets! Has a darts board and a pool table. Definitely visit if you're in the area.

A very good looking and interesting venue, that also has Whitley Bay Brewery in the back. Great beer son well recomenedd

Nice pub, good selection of drinks.

Dog friendly and reasonably priced. Will visit here again.

OK pub in town, lots of tv showing sports. Has pool tables. Real ale on sale.

My husband and I were out for a walk and some lunch. We weren't sure where to go for food but bumped into a friend that suggested The Brewery formerly Fitzgeralds. The bar itself has not changed much. But the staff were friendly and helpful and well the food was delicious the beef melted in our mouths the vegetables were all fresh not frozen as you often find nor were they over cooked, proper roasties and Yorkshire puds. Mmmm hats off to the chef we throughly enjoyed our lunch and we will definitely be returning.

A typical cheap pub lunch. It was ok. Service was great

If you like noisy pubs with excellent opportunities to watch football this is the place. The beer was ok as was the service but the food was not

Very friendly stuff and big portion of food.🙏😁

Good selection of craft beers. Many of which are brewed by the Whitley brewery itself. It was a little quiet when we were there but it was mid week and early evening. I was a little disappointed that they don't sell their beers in cans or bottles to take away.

A delight. Lovely staff and great food. Sunday roast... 👍

No body waiting at the bar, caught the attention of one of the 2 staff behind bar who informed us he wouldn't be long... No intention of stopping wrapping cutlery. Other bellowing to a customer they had forgotten their change. Waited a few moments longer. Cutlery still far more important.. Turned and heading to Spoons

Nice bar but need to sort the bogs oot really bad smell

Lovely little cafe. Great service.

Very nice food at reasonable prices. The staff were lovely.

Great watering hole , dog friendly which is always a +plus. Great Service ,and welcoming staff .

Warm welcome & some smashing real ales brewed on the premises. Food looked good but we are yet to sample it. Often good music. Lovely stained glass, very good ladies' loo & large beer garden to rear. Our local whilst here on holiday.

Great place with on site brewery. Very nice beers at very reasonable prices and a large, tempting food menu too ! Good music, good atmosphere. Fab place to watch the cricket ! Many thanks. 😀

A really very friendly and in a good mood barmaid. It was quite fun, but the beer from Whitley Bay Brewery wasn't great, a bit flat...

The outside seating area is fine but inside is desperately in need of a total refurbishment and the toilets were disgusting and stunk

Great food and atmosphere good service and staff very helpful

Pub with loads of different Locally Brewed Beers. It also has a pool table.

We were on holiday and came in for lunch. Food was lovely couldn't fault that. My husband ordered 3 mains and nachos sharer to come as a starter. Mains came before the nachos, one main came quite a while after other two despite being ordered all together! Starter finally came as we were finishing mains. Woman behind bar just kept blaming the till as did the guy. How hard is it to get the starter out first, it wasn't even busy! Wouldn't return .

No medium real ales. Everything was IPA, or very malty beer. Stopped serving at 1030 pm, with no warning of last orders. Won't be going back, to drink there again.

Food was absolutely diabolical. Avoid at all costs. The cheddar, red onion and mozzarella was just red onion with a bit of mozzarella on top. The fries were like crisps. The guy cooking was walking around in a coat. Total rip off of money well and truly. The best bit was a pint on Stella couldn't fault that.

Fab place, staff lovely. Didn't eat so can't comment on food, but what came out looked good and fresh.

Popped in for some dinner and a drink in April while on an overnight stay. Was so good we had to return again today. Food amazing. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Very dog friendly, our pup was well looked after with water and treats. Highly recommend. Will be back on our next visit to the area.

Excellent range of beers including some local names, well kept and friendly staff. A good choice if you're visiting the area with friends or family

We visited on a Sunday, the pub was warm friendly and welcoming. I had the Beef Sunday roast which was excellent and great value for money, and my wife had a chicken tikka baguette with a salad. Neither of us could finish our meals. We had a nice quiet corner with music instead of sport, nice atmosphere.

Went for dinner with 2 children, the menu is small but enough to please everyone. The food was outstanding with lots of steak in the pie for under £8. The drinks were reasonable and the staff were friendly, would highly recommend.

Good food. Good service. They could improve cleaning.

A good choice of real ales at a very good price. Nice, relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely pub was nice and quiet which I like x nice helpful staff ,will call in again when in whitley Bay x

Possibly one of the worst pubs I’ve ever been in. Sullen staff behind the bar. Full of the dregs of society. The toilets stank like a sewage farm. Carpets your feet stick to. Best avoided.

A "Sports " bar with muted Sky TV everywhere and poppy music playing at a comfortable volume. Pub was warm and comfy, on a quiet Wednesday evening. As we were leaving a folk group, who were practicing in the back room, started up and the pop was turned down enough to hear them play. Wish we could have joined them! Beer was OK and cheap. Wine average. We were served by a very friendly member of staff and she pointed us to a nearby eatery!

Good selection of beers, good prices pub itself a bit dated

Great atmosphere on a Wednesday night. Live music, real ale. Lovely staff. The food is fresh and good value. A nice game of pool or watch the sport.

All tables booked. Might as well put a notice on saying "We'll take your money now but you must foff when more important people come in later". So we didn't bother. Since when did pubs have reserved tables? Sitting in Spoons having my Sunday food and drink now. Really nice for a decent price.

Rob and sophie are the best barman in the place.

Nice place very friendly atmosphere

Whitley Bay brewery tap with a good choice of beer.

Pub and Brewery. A welcoming, warm atmosphere. Good supply of their own beers

Was there all day meeting a long lost sister! Was excellent atmosphere, lovely dinner and helpful staff. Chef came out a few times to check we were ok. Brilliant place 😊

I was ordering at the bar one day last week when I felt a couple of taps on my left leg. When I looked down, a large dog was rubbing its head against my trousers. I did not know where the owner was. I do not want to eat or drink in the same room as a dog but, in Whitley bay, such a choice has steadily been taken away from me. The reasons I do not want to eat or drink in close proximity with dogs are the same reasons why I would not want to eat or drink in close proximity with any type of animal i.e. their habits and their hygiene. I specifically mention dogs because, although there are over 2 million animal species identified by science, no other species is ever invited to share food and drink with humans in a public space. So why dogs? Even all of the owners of the other animals in the top ten pet list manage to keep their pets at home and never need to bring them into public spaces. When dogs are allowed to wander about off leash I don't even have the choice of sitting apart from the dog as the dog will come to me and intrude in my personal space. Many people are, justifiably, frightened of dogs. Although a small number of people have a phobia about dogs, fear of dogs is much more usually a rational response to the reality of dog behaviour and their unpredictable nature. I will not go into details but readily available statistics illustrate that what people fear about dogs is an all too common occurrence. Approximately 15% of the population is allergic to cats and dogs so there is a significant number of people who do not want to be near dogs for that reason. When you allow dogs to wander about off leash, the only options allergy sufferers have is to stay at home or make sure that they are stocked up on medication. Allergies and intolerances are usually taken very seriously in the hospitality industry but dog allergy is trivialised or ignored. For sufferers it is a considerable issue which restricts their freedom. All of the Whitley Bay Brewery establishments allow dogs off leash and all actively encourage dogs. Few people will complain about dogs, choosing to grin and bear it or to stay away. People with allergies will stay at home and, therefore, never complain. I was a regular at the Rockcliffe for over 20 years but stopped completely 3 years ago as the dog situation had got out of hand. I came to the conclusion that enough was enough and left. As the Rockcliffe now specifically mentions dogs in their advertising material, I will never go back. Those of us who want a dog free life have no options other than to tolerate the imposition of dogs everywhere we choose to go. A favourite phrase of dog worshippers when we complain is, "if you don't like it, go somewhere else." We are left with nowhere else to go. I enjoy all of the Brewery beers but, if it is a choice between drinking in the same room as loose dogs or staying at home, I would choose to stay at home every time.

First visit here had the big brew burger and kel had the Gilbert burger, both were a great size portion, they looked home made and were delicious, we're not from the area but would definitely come back, saldly ate it before i thought about getting a pic. Good drinks selection and the staff were very friendly.

Friendly place nice staff good selection of drinks

Played pool drank cider watched F1 Brilliant Sunday afternoon

Lovely pub with friendly doormen and staff. Reasonably priced drinks. Good atmosphere.

Lovely pub and staff are always friendly.

The food was not as good as it has been in the past. The chicken curry did not have much flavour although the chips were good.

Only went in for 1 pint. Stella £4.35 ( 1/11/22 ) so about a £1 over compared to others. But not a chain, so prices probably reasonable for small brewery? Nice feel to it, cosy. And served with a smile. So can't be bad.

The main site of G&S. Didn't have neck beer on. Very dated and not clean. The carpet for goodness sake in a pub was sticky only went in whilst waiting for the bus. Won't be back. Will stay with Park View site

Advertising the football then when you go in they say they're not showing it.

Always a nice place to visit whilst in whitley Bay

Lively atmosphere fantastic range of beers. They should sack that bud light off and get the real thing in

Great pub with a wide choice of beers and spirits will definitely be back

Lovely friendly pub with some great local Real Ales available as well as some great food too. Pool table and plenty of TV s for the sports fans

Nice pub but no food on the day we visited

Food good, service good value for money.

Great atmosphere friendly staff good central location. Popped in for a drink stayed til closing time

Huge pub, lots of space. Dog friendly and welcoming. Great menu choice, huge portions.

Staff were so helpful especially little John he was advising us where to visit whilst here and where to go with the kids he couldn’t of been more helpful. And the food was lovely too great portions would definitely recommend it.thanks again guys.Tina from annan.x

Had a Sunday lunch roast beef and chicken absolutely loved every mouthful and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and a pint of coke! Around £15 ... very happy 😊

Looking tired and haggard. In need of redecorating and a make over.

Been before will go again my happy place

Very good meals , food was amazing, chef very helpful,, he was keen to get feedback 😀

Was in yesterday afternoon (monday) for food for the first time was amazing I had the rock burger and it was so filling great price for the area and great drinks too

Don't bother unless it's Sunday. Service is great food is sub par at best I had heard great raves about the Sunday dinners and I had one with my partner they are lovely but won't be coming back for food after today. Late posting review I was in on Thursday the 21st Will probably be back for a drink

Nice place, food range of drinks and nice atmosphere

Friendly staff good selection of drinks unusual real ales x

Lovely place great location, Staff are polite and professional good choice of drinks and plenty of places to sit inside and out. Unfortunately the drink I bought was poor so I returned it and staff were happy to change it, unfortunately my second drink was worse, its not the cheapest place but come on serve decent drinks. I'll go back cos everyone deserves a second chance.

Great pub, good Beers and good food

Food was poor. reheated, dehydrated and tasteless!Massively overpriced too!!Should have gone to The Firestation(Spoons) for a cheaper disappointment!!
