How many of these new South Tyneside drinking spots have you visited since they opened in the last year?
From Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall opening a cocktail bar on Ocean Road to the takeover of a number of traditional boozers, the borough has seen a host of new – and old – drinking spots open their doors over the last year.
New landlords in Jarrow believe the once-booming pub scene could be set for a revival, while landmark venues such as the Sea Hotel have seen major investment.
Have you had a night to remember (or forget) in any of these popular South Tyneside drinking spots?
