The Maltings in South Tyneside

Great atmosphere and range of beers.

Good place for a party or function

We were looking for a good quiz night and came across this pub! Every Sunday and Wednesdays they host a pub quiz night. We went on the Sunday and had a lovely time! The atmosphere was good, the bar staff were brilliant and the quiz was very fun! We even got a free pizza!! Didn’t win the quiz tho. Oh well. Lovely little seating area for groups too. Highly recommend this pub for quizzes and drinks!

Unreal pub! Such unique old beautiful decor and great atmosphere - an amazing underrated place to watch football too. Lots of super comfy chesterfield sofas, good hearted people and also the free food during the quiz is above and beyond in quality, slow cooker curries and cheesy snacks galore!! Bar staff are lovely and remember your order too. They serve good well priced drinks and if you’re after cocktails theres a lovely cocktail bar right downstairs too. Hugely underrated place in shields I’ll be making my local!

Nice decor,friendly atmosphere. Great cocktails. Highly recommended. Was only there for one night,from Cardiff.

Our work local . Great atmosphere amservice and bar staff

Excellent night out , perfect hosts in a proper public house atmospheric surround with plenty of various beers and lagers to choose from

Great place to rest and relax with a hot drink during the day. Excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Unfortunately there for wake but service and staff excellent.

Thought I’d give this pub a go as I have company coming from Canada. Not serving food, well that’s ok. Good selection on tap. Decor was on point was lots of old features. It’s a shame the establishment’s mentality was also antiquated. What are you thinking! A sign degrading women?! We’re way past that…aren’t we? And I quote “Liquor in the front, poke her in the rear”. Right next to the Ladies bathroom. Imagine. How many women join in your pub quiz night? First visit. Last visit

Gorgeous building and great atmosphere but sadly only 2 cask ales on both of which were very pale.

Good selections of beer and gin

A real hearty friendly pub. A good selection of beers and ales and super friendly staff.

Great night out in a traditional English pub, good choice of beers and very entertaining quiz on a Sunday night

Awesome bar under great management

Great place unfriendly to go to

One the best bars in South Shields, Real Ale spot on.

Now the rock weirdos have gone I will start going again as will many others I suspect.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere and decorated beautifully. Good selection of beers on offer too, shame they didn't stock any zero alcohol brands, would be 5star if they did.

Nice surroundings and a hidden gem

Brilliant friendly atmosphere and great beers and cocktails

Just great place. Traditional interior, great staff and best owner of any kind establishment I've ever met. Thank you again for your hospitality

It's pricey. Good service. Friendly staff. Beer could be better. The spread for functions tasteless

Nice place, absolutely crawling with goths on a thursday and I love it oioi. Beers decent too ;)

Nice homely pub.Good atmosphere. Very comfortable.

Nice bar good selection of drinks

Great atmosphere. Great staff. Very good prices on a huge range of drinks

I my opinion , what they have done to the pub is amazing. Not only is the Maltings fantastic but the Cameleon is fantastic. Outside seating area is lovely and the beer is brilliant. Well done owners you should be proud of yourselves😀😀😀 Keep up the good work.

Great selection of beers and friendly welcoming staff. Always been a great pub and pleased to see it's survived the last 18 months of challenges with lockdown and covid. If you're nearby this place, pop in for a pint of rivet catcher, you wont regret it !

Nice spacious pub, good service.

Brilliant good beer and great service

Really nice pub with great selection of beers on tap. Service is excellent too.

1st time of going into this bar, wont be the last the cocktail i got was lush & service was fab.

Lovely sunny chilled out beer garden

Nice surroundings friendlystaff

Great local pub with an excellent selection of drinks and welcoming staff. The chameleon downstairs is fantastic too.

Great atmosphere and seems bit more smarter and classier than a lot of town centre bars

Lovely looking place and I highly recommend it for some quality time over a beer !!!! Please note : there's no kitchen

Wish I had visited this place last so I could stay til the end. From entrance to leaving, I was made to feel so welcome. Glen gave me a sample of each of the 3 cask ales which may have been full halves. I said I will have a half of each so just top up the samples but he did 3 extra halves and told me to finish the samples. From that, the regulars just got talking to me to a point that I felt I had been here many times. By the time I left, the original batch of people had left and I was talking to others that had come in. Just 100% friendly. Can't wait to return but will eat first then come here to see the evening off. Thank you Glen, red headed barmaid and locals. You make the long journey here memorable.

Good place upstairs to have a quiet drink and chat

Lovely surroundings, both up and downstairs. Only trouble no food served on Sat night.

Very pleasant oldy wieldy pub, was there for a funeral.beautiful building and the Beers and larger's were a reasonable price. Lovely for a old fashioned quiet drink.

Great place glen is a true gent

Glen runs a great bar. Friendly, classic in appearance and offering a large variety of drinks.

Spent quite a few nights that I don't remember in here. The staff are cool.

I was the cleaner at the maltings it was a very nice place to go and work at I am glad it is opened again

Very nice pub with a good selection of real ales. My son got a free beer for doing the Great North Run.

Been tonite for my cousins birthday.It was my first time id been here found it to be a very nice pub with friendly staff, excellent.

Great pub and the roofs in there are beautiful

Great traditional pub with good atmosphere

Maybe not the most inviting from the outside, but inside has a great atmosphere, pleasant staff and well priced

Full of sweaty goths from time to time okay pint

Best traditional pub in Shields bar none. I'd moved to The Steamboat following the closure of this pub a while back but underestimated how much it would retain its original charm on reopening under new ownership, until recently. This was my local for well over ten years and after unfortunately closing its doors, has now gained our custom once again. The staff are great and the choice of ales, ciders and spirits are as good as they ever were, with Rivet Catcher being a firm favourite. A job well done to all those who picked up Jess McConnell's dropped baton. I hope the management look after their accounts more prudently and honestly. Cheers!

Friendly pub some good ales and world lagers

Great pub with a great variety of beers.

Properly good pub, quiet and friendly. Great selection and service.

Great night rock music on Thursday nights thanks Jamie x

It's a real pub with real people behind the bar real customers and a great atmosphere every day of the week it has great beer and even rivet catcher it's back on the rota! it's just 1 flight upstairs from the rest of the planet but don't let that put you off people! As Frank Sinatra's Geordie kitchen Maid once said if you're tired of The Maltings pub you're tired of life. Get yourself down to the Maltings drink beer meet a girl drink more beer fall in love it's just that simple!

Ideal place for a good pint, plenty lagers and ales to choose from plus friendly atmosphere.

Have great quizzes on a Wednesday and a Sunday, free food and cheap drinks!

Nice old fashioned pub with island bar. Shame they stopped brewing on the premises.

Nice pub, good atmosphere, big range of craft beers on tap. What's more to like.

Love this pub. Glynn and his staff are so friendly. Good selection and quirky comfortable surroundings.

Friendly pub plenty of choice of real ales
