Cracking old style pub near the Metro station, but not easily found if you don’t know where it is, so check out directions on the other comments. Still 4 real ales; Anarchy Blonde Star, Bass, Vocation daily bread and a fourth I can’t remember... Barrow_Beer_Hunter - 26 Sep 2024 16:27 |
Still one of the best boozers in Whitley. Lots of sport on TV (especially boxing when its on). This is now run by the Whitley Bay Brewery. Normally four real ales on from the brewery and some guests. zipdiskdude - 12 Dec 2022 22:47 |
The Rockcliffe Arms was my second pub of the day on Wednesday after the Beehive at Earsdon. It's a pleasant backstreet boozer near the station. It's part of the Fitzgeralds chain. The interior is quite dark. Sky Sports was showing on the TV. But the main form of entertainment appears to be conversation. Ales were Sonnet 43 Seraphim, Ossett Gold, Rat Rat Attack & Three Bridges The Rock (the house beer). Sadly no dark beers or real ciders. blue_scrumpy - 14 May 2016 17:33 |
When you leave Whitley Bay's grandiose Metro station by the main exit, turn right along Clarence Place and after a 100 yards or so you will find Algernon Place and the excellent Rockcliffe Arms. This is a comfortable side-street pub which caters for a good local trade and serves up good local ales. It has a single bar but with a couple of seating areas and a very pleasant atmosphere (lots of timber/carpet and traditonal furnishings). The beer was fine and like a lot of pubs in this area they promote local breweries (although the huge keg beer fonts tend to dominate the bar counter). No food but you can get a sarnie in the station buffet. I didn't go anywhere else in town - no reason to - as this was spot on. mcroyal - 16 Dec 2012 12:45 |
Just about the only 'proper' pub left in Whitley Bay - a town where most of the other watering holes have been given over to the alco-pops and designer lager kiddywinkies. The Rockcliffe has an excellent selection of real ales, a friendly atmosphere, and does not serve meals - its a PUB. Dogs allowed, and no children after 7pm. Suits me. micmac47 - 17 Oct 2010 19:59 |
