We went to the Tynemouth market and popped in for a drink (and the loo!). Very friendly lady serving an excellent choice of real ale. Fantastic olde worlde Juke box. A real fire, warm and friendly.

Definitely worth a visit. Inside the station, great architecture and friendly staff. Reasonably priced and outside seating.

Gorgeous, gorgeous bar. Wide selection of keg and cask ales, as well as a generous offer of ciders. It has a nice outdoor bit which sits on the station platform, and the indoor bar is lovely too. Visit Tynemouth for the markets or the beach, and have a pint or three here to finish your day.

Lovely quirky bar with seats inside and out. There is a jukebox and a table full of board games to keep children occupied. Sitting outside on a market day is a great experience. You're right next to the metro station so you'll see a few metros stop.

A great pub selling some of the best craft beer and cider. Staff are very friendly too. Seats are available inside and out, and it's mega handy for the metro so you don't have to go far to get home! They recently had a band on outside for the bank holiday and a food truck outside but these are not always on so don't rely on it! There can be queues for the toilets as just one cubicle each for males and females. (I think both should be unisex to alleviate queues).

Had a quick pint whilst waiting for the Metro. Nice small micro bar on Tynemouth Station with outside seating. Can get a little noisy but just adds to the atmosphere. Good selection of cask and keg and gins. We did not have food so cannot comment on Limited parking outside. Would recommend.

Always some varied and exceptional beers in a nice environment. I’ve been drinking hundreds of stouts/Porters over many years had one of the very very best from one of my favourite breweries tonight (Nightmare York Brewery) Well done Platform 2!
