The Prince of Wales in North Tyneside - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Its not changed at all apart from the lush jukebox has gone. If you went 20 years ago its untouched brilliant blast from the past. Remember to switch your phone off!

Strange bar no phones dogs or payments by card although good beer at a reasonable price

Great Sam Smiths beer, better company (people who actually talk to one another) and NO phones. Excellent

Sam Smiths pub, small beer yard. Old fashioned pub with several rooms.

Great beer what more can you ask for! This place is first on the list when drinking on the quay

Have put the prices up, an outside sitting area was I bit tatty.

Very rude man at the bar and massively upped the price of pints “due to COVID” won’t be returning😊 poor

We have been using the Pub for a number of years now and really love it. It is a truly traditional style old pub which takes you back in time with coal fires in the bar and snug. The beer is some of the cheapest anywhere in the area and is always perfectly kept and served. there is a good sized pool room at the rear of the pub leading into a fantastic beer garden with ample seating and tables.This is one of the iconic pubs in Shields that people from far and wide come to enjoy.... sadly there arent very many of these pubs left anywhere so get down there and support it and keep it trading for the future.

Nice friendly pub with a great fire 🔥

Lagers not the best. No mobiles. Nice coal fire on a cold day and good craic.

No card payments, cash only?!?!?! no mobile devices allowed either

Amazing beer and old fashioned pub combo is unbeatable. Not many of these places left locally. Such a shame these iconic pubs are dying. Hopefully this will not happen 🤞

Little choice of spirts or beers. Grumpy staff. Cash only in this day and age!! When attempting to text a friend to let them know we had arrived we were abruptly told that no phones were allowed.

Sam Smiths pubs are pretty predictable. Cheap, decent beer and a quiet, calm atmosphere. Nice building. Have a no technology policy which is cool, just not great for getting a uber (or other app based taxi service) at the end of the night!

This is a special place offering a glimpse of another time in the present. Like all Sam Smith's pubs, use of electronic devices is prohibited and swearing discouraged. A pint of strong, organic lager is £3. Fires burn coal. Dogs are welcome. Discussion is encouraged. Staff are friendly. Visit North Shields, and be sure to visit the POW when you do.

Called in here on Boxing day but never again... As it was a large order, my nephew had used his mobile phone to take note of the drinks and was rudely told no mobiles allowed?? We also had a pram with a sleeping baby in and was told no children allowed. We were only told this after we had ordered the drinks as we would have walked out there and then. The pram is a double pram and was clearly visible!! My son had to stand outside in the cold with the baby!!! Meanwhile someone came in with a dog and was allowed to sit inside!! Where do these people get off with all these rules and regulations!!! Never again would we frequent this dismal pub!!!

A proper old fashioned pub serving good beers at very reasonable prices.

Great staff! A very friendly pub!

Love this place. Cheap, full of friendly locals. Proper oldie pub on the quey.

Good beer, good value. Proper old fashioned pub

Great traditional pub, fantastic prices, staff are great.

Great pub, fab beer, brilliant staff. Just keep your phone on your pocket! 😁

No swearing. (This rule is ignored right beside the sign saying No Swearing. You know who you are)

Did love the stout, and prices, but can't believe your not allowed to look at your phone, used to enjoy backing a few horses while having a pint but not anymore !!suppose rules are rules but don't have to go there.

Amazing no music no phones proper pub

Lovely little pub, beer garden fantastic when the weather is nice. Pool room, lounge and bar area to suit all different types of people. Locals are very friendly, Bar staff and managers are Fab!!! prices of the lagers and beers are the best on the Fish Quay. No mobile phone policy which is great as it encourages people to actually talk to each other!

Quite good and nice staff will go back

Advised after buying my beer by the member of staff behind the bar that Mobile phones are not allowed in the pub. Now I know plenty of people whilst waiting for friends to meet up will be on their phones so I could not understand the rule and enquired why? Because Mr Smith( Brewery) said so ..ok promptly finished my pint and left to spend my money in the much more welcoming Taphouse along the road. All my friends from work joined me their instead. People run businesses from their phones these days what a stupid and outdated rule and the attitude and response to my question from the lady behind the bar will ensure I wont frequent the place again! Added to that a couple of friendly locals taking the piss out of another customer because he had a beard let's you know what type of place this has becom

Great "old fashioned pub". One of if not the friendliest pub I know. The regulars alway make you welcome.

Great old fashioned proper pub.

Good cheap beer the wine is a bit exspebsive though. Should take cards as there is no cash point any where nearby

Went for a drink there on a fish quay pub crawl, got a snide comment on the way out the door that we didn't clean up our own glasses. In what universe do you have to take your glasses to the bar at a pub? There was no need for that kind of rudeness, we were already pretty jolly and had a good time in the pub but that just soured it.

Nice friendly old fashioned pub

Great traditional pub selling good value ales. Nice beer garden. They promote no phones, tablets or laptops.

The staff are very helpful and friendly and a very good service

The price for beers is an attraction with excellent staff on our visit.

The wooden dolly!! Cracking pint of Samuel Smith taddy

First visit today on the way back from South Shields. A proper pub with great beer and no annoying music. I’ll be back. Highly recommended.

A proper pub with nice people and great cheap beer

We came to the wooden dolly (it’s more common but the best name) to be welcomed and felt really at home, bar staff are great, regulars are sound and prices are a LOT cheaper than elsewhere along the fish quay....all in all I will be back and I recommend highly!

Lovely pub lovely beer. A real community

Great service from friendly staff. Great little beer garden at the back of the pub and welcoming for those out with there dogs. Will definitely be back again.

Went for quiet drink with 3 friends and 4 children in sunny beer garden. Boys had a football playing well away from customers to be told by man sitting drinking no football. Fair enough. Sat kids downand proceeded to buy drinks. My son shouted "mam can i have your phone"? Again grumpy man frowned no phones allowed! I thought he was joking so laughed. He said ya laughing im not joking. With a stern face. I turned round and left. Terrible customer service!!

Great pub. Doesn't take card as a heads up to anyone going.

Great place with a nice selection of drinks and very reasonable pricing. Does not accept cards so remember to bring cash!

Excellent boozer £2 a pint. Lovely people to talk to.

Traditional pub. Friendly staff, great beers at very good prices.

A true North Shields gem. Great beer at great prices.

Great little pub, serves Sam Smiths beers which are cheap. Is a bit like stepping into the past but canny. Nice to sit in the beer garden on a summers day too.

Friendly staff and locals. Beer not the best but a cosy bar with a nice roaring fire.

excellent beer! great crowd. lush toasties...most of all great hosts Karen and Lee

Need to keep manager, new staff miserable,

On several occasion I have visited here for a quick drink with friends and family. The main attraction.... the open fires...two. There are three small cosy comfortable and clean bars, one with a pool table. Tasteful decor with tasteful understated decorations at Halloween and Christmas. Interesting local photos are displayed.The beer range is fairly limited I forgot you are a real ale drinker but we enjoyed the Indian Pale Ale and the wine was pleasing. It isn’t a pub for eating out but the toasted sandwiches are great value. The staff and locals are friendly!

Excellent, warm, friendly and well kept Boozer. Incredible prices, good staff, can’t wish for more. This is what I would call a pub, no fancy food comes first establishment. Sammy Smiths have got it right!

A pub like pubs used to be. Good value beer too, but wine expensive!

Great boozer, comfy old school pub, with an outside drinking area, games room, lounge and public bar.. it's a Sam Smith's pub so expect cheap own brand beers, check out the 44 lager , the Strawberry or Raspberry beer is lush to wash down the awesome cheese toasties

Cheap and cheerful. Sam Smith's pub

Sam Smith's ales nice atmosphere coal fire in bar and snug. The only problem is no food except for cheese toastie

Nice pub with real fires and cheap beer

Fantastic little gem of a pub. Good service . Cider is the best in the north east. Very freindly and it is run in the right attitude i.e. no bad language etc.at all. Very cosy and relaxed.

Old school pub, plenty of beers and not at all modern 😁. Clean and bright establishment with pool table and no food, cards, kids or swearing.

Great beer cheap as chips nice staff and atmosphere

Great pub - one of the best in North Shields but always a bit on the quiet side. Good Beer, Great hosts and Nice clientele. Its had a recent refurbishment which has tidied the place up very nicely, but my only criticism is that the bar looks unfinished with no curtains at the windows making it quite bare and cold-looking. Nevertheless - still a great place with quality beer at just £2 a pint for Old Brewery Bitter Real Ale. Cant grumble at that...!!

Great pub. Friendly staff and customers. Lovely atmosphere. Can't go wrong!

Totally a local's pub with a brilliant atmosphere. Has a pool table with winner stays on rule but its flexible. Funny crowd.

great traditional pub good beers and lagers very friendly staff

great locals pub ( old locals ) who have lived/worked on the quayside for decades. All own brand beers and lagers and all so cheap and always a great pint , staff are all fantastic and its always great to pop in whether its just for a cheeky pint or a night meeting mates . in this day of pretentious bars and overpriced rubbish its great to find a pub that does things the right way

Pub is very nice and great beer

Brilliant atmosphere and good selection of spirits

Such good value and a great atmosphere!

Èxellent beer friendly staff and customers

A classic Sam Smiths pub that ticks ALL the right boxes for a real old fashioned pub. 3 rooms and a decent outside drinking area.

Proper quayside bar cheap as well.

Great place to sit and enjoy the sun and a great pint

Best bar in town.staff top class.very clean amd tidy

called in here after a visit to Tynemouth market we decided to walk to the ferry .Called in for a toasted sandwich ,There was Corned beef and Onion ,Ham and cheese ,and Cheese and onion on offer.and only cost £1 50 a sandwich they were very tasty .The crisps were made for Samuel Smith brewery and only 70p a packet.

This is defoe the best Samuel Smiths by far, couple of cheeky little pints with me little woman, Nowt like it,,,,,, great little pub in North Shields xxxx

Good old fashioned pub with decent ales

Great beers, great prices and great staff!

Hadn't been for 25 years thought I pop in looked exactly the same it's like stepping into a Museum it's very old fashioned and only one type of beer brand (Sam Smith's) no music or tv no Craic either not be back

Started to visit regularly with the girls and always had a good service and good food!

The Prince of Wales is a Good place to enjoy a pint or two on the quayside. The beer is priced very well compared to a lot of other establishments.

Great beer, real fire, friendly service

Proper boozer. Samuel Smith's brewery, very low prices! Quiet lounge area and then an old school bar (dog friendly, no children).

Great oldie worldie clean pub with great beer and staff

Great little drinking hole part of the Samuel Smith"s brewery. Always great beer at ridiculously cheap prices. Long live Samuel Smith

Brilliant little pub. Very cosy and cheap prices

Proper old school pub. Every beverage and snack sold is brewery branded. No other beer makes on tap. Real legitimate pub. Pool table. Horse shoes on wall. Winner.

Best inexpensive beer on the quayside

Excellent range of beers Great price. Friendly staff. Nice cozy traditional pub

Very limited selection of drinks, more of an old man's local pub.

Amazing atmosphere, pool table, darts, old photos on the walls, toasties, crisps, a real fire, bar and lounge, and delicious drinks selection - everything you could want from a real pub. Whether it's Taddy larger or Indian pale ale, we're always satisfied...and a wee tiddly!

Nice environment ,friendly staff ,relax talking and having some draft

Brilliant pub very friendly great beers and super beer garden and real coal fires what more do want ? Been coming here for years and just keeps getting better .

The best pub for miles around IMHO. Management and staff are some of the most friendly people I have ever met working in a pub. A credit to the Samuel Smith's company..

Exactly what a pub should be. Very friendly staff, traditional decor and best of all a great pint at a very low price. A real gem.

Great people and very welcoming attitude towards customers and the beer is really cheap! like 1.80 a pint WoW, and lovely coal fire to keep you nice and warm and cosy.

One of the best pubs in the North East without question. A real pub

good old fashioned pub with cheap beer
