Another person agreed: “Lovely venue. Great atmosphere. All round amazing. Definitely recommend. Staff are lovely too. Bubbly, friendly characters. Had an amazing night.”

Jade's new venue has received reviews since bar-goers have headed to try it out.

One customer described the bar as having an “amazing atmosphere and live music.”

Another said: “Gorgeous bar inside and out. I recommend it to anyone. Screw the bad comments. I love it and I'm proud of it and its owned by the amazing miss Jade Amelia Thirlwall so no argument there whatsoever. Thank you for restoring the town centre Jade. Here is to you pet.”

Others haven’t been so positive.

One visitor said: “Nothing to do with the above. Toilets a disgrace. Dirty and disgusting place. Looked like it was put together by apprentices – workmanship not good.

“On the plus side the cocktail was lovely.”

Another added: “Went Saturday night. No atmosphere. No vibe. No mocktail menu. I got charged £6 for a very small glass of passionfruit fizzy water. I'll pass thanks. Wont be gracing your doors again. Complete flop.”

One customer was concerned about the drinks prices saying “expensive drinks. It’s South Shields, not Newcastle.

“Nice place, give you that.”
