About us

Low Lights Tavern, the oldest pub in North Shields, is located at North Shields Fish Quay. Believed to have been an alehouse for over 400 years it's the oldest pub in the area. Now a free house with rotating guest ales always pouring.

3 rooms make up the public area;

The bar area in the central room is the heart of the pub with that traditional pub feel and a friendly welcome waiting.

In the Music room you'll find Monday's are Bongo Bob's Buskers night, Thursday acoustic music, Saturday & Sundays from 9pm regulars play.

Or you can cosy up in the snug for some peace with the real fire place for winter :)

Our pub has socially pro-active regulars with staged plays, local art on display available for purchase and a Cycle Club (Low Lights Chain Gang) meets weekly on Weds at 6:30pm amongst other things!

A traditional pub with a real community of friends, many of them Real Ale lovers, who have joined a long list of fishermen, career sailors, travellers, merchants and ne’er do wells who have populated the cosy, low ceiling bar of the Grade II-Listed tavern in its history.

Went for lunch- bar staff was really helpful getting us a table sorted out for our party of 4. The peppered steak and mushroom pie was fantastic. Apple pie and the cheesecake also highly recommended.

Traditional pub with a great atmosphere in the heart of the fishquay. Pies are the showstoppers here. Steak and ale pie, chock-a-block with filling, Corned Beef pie is a classic done really well and probably the best we've ever had. Gravy rich and tasty and mushy peas are lush. Only criticism is that the battered cod was measly for the price. That was a let down. Whilst the Waterfront chippy at the bottom of the street can't compete on pies and pints, they do knock spots off the lowlights for fish. They do monster battered cod for less cost. I would go back to the Lowlights for pies and pints only.

( Wednesday 09/08/2023) I had a delicious plate of twice cooked chips,mushy peas ,salad, homemade tartar sauce, and beer battered cod. Karin had the salmon on a bed of pasta quills in a spicy ,creamy tomato sauce with garlic bread. We also ordered a side of beer battered onion rings. We both thought that the quality and portions were generous and top quality. The chap that welcomed us and served us was the real star of the Low Light Tavern. Delicious food, great value, and fantastic service.

This place is an amazing little bar for great food and drink. I met this man Nigel Devine who made the place feel like my local pub back home. The staff was lovely. The food was fantastic( fish and chips) there was so much that I couldn't finish it all. You won't go hungry eating here. The portions are American sized. It was crowded with locals in the bar area but I was able to get into the music room for a meal and 2 pints. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting anywhere near Newcastle or North Shields.
