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.
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.
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!
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
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.
As with all Samuel Smiths pubs, very traditional with excellent beers and lagers at fantastic value prices. You won't find mainstream brands here as everything is brewed in house or own label, and it's all the better for it.
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 🤞
Cheap, But Quality. Nice Pub
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.
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.
Proper boozer. Samuel Smith's brewery, very low prices! Quiet lounge area and then an old school bar (dog friendly, no children).
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.
Great traditional pub selling good value ales.
Nice beer garden.
They promote no phones, tablets or laptops.
Nice populat rare Sam Smiths pub in this region..
Love it here. Brought my old man from Sunderland and he loves it! Not many of these pubs about nower days. Count yourself lucky if you stumble by it and pop in!
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..
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.
