General information: When it comes to finding a genuine local pub that’s right at the heart of the community, you just can’t beat the Rockliffe Arms in Whitley Bay. Homely, cosy, friendly, and exceptionally welcoming, it’s the kind of place where good beer, good company, and good conversation are an absolute given. Cask ale is its speciality, and we’ve recently had to install a 4th handpull to cope with the huge and ever-changing selection of guest beers. There’s a sunny, outside seating area, a busy quiz night, a selection of traditional bar snacks including pickled eggs and pork scratchings, plenty of domino boards, a football team, a darts team, and even a tug-of-war team. We could go on. But to put it simply, The Rockliffe Arms is everything a local pub should be – and much, much more.

user reviews of Rockcliffe Arms, Whitley Bay

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

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.

Great little local pub close to Whitely bay town centre. Well worth the short walk, ask for directions.

Great little pub tucked away in between Whitley Road and Whitley Bay Metro Station. For those in the know, this pub offers a great range of ales - including cask - and a friendly environment. The Landlord is a canny fella too.
