Quiz Nights in Tynemouth
At least four pubs in Tynemouth and North Shields run regular quiz nights. Here's which night, which pub, and what to expect.
From a clifftop bar with sea views to a cosy village local, Tynemouth and North Shields have a strong pub quiz scene running most nights of the week. Here is what is on and where.
Monday — The Gibraltar Rock
The Gibraltar Rock on East Street runs its quiz every Monday night. Perched above King Edward's Bay with panoramic coastal views, the Gib is one of Tynemouth's most popular venues. The quiz is hosted by a regular quizmaster and features general knowledge rounds with cash prizes and a rollover jackpot. It is a big-atmosphere quiz in a big-atmosphere pub.
Tuesday — The Priory
The Priory on Front Street hosts its quiz every Tuesday night with Bob. The Priory is a lively Tynemouth local known for its live music on weekends and its buskers night on Sundays. The Tuesday quiz is a more relaxed affair — a proper community pub quiz in a pub that prides itself on community spirit.
Wednesday — The Dolphin Inn
The Dolphin Inn on Tynemouth Road is one of the oldest pubs in Tynemouth and runs a regular quiz night midweek. A family-run pub with home-cooked food and a strong following among locals, the Dolphin offers a friendly, no-frills quiz experience. Contact the pub directly for the current start time.
Thursday — Pleased to Meet You
Pleased to Meet You on Front Street, primarily known as a cocktail bar and restaurant, also runs a Thursday quiz. If you prefer your trivia with a well-mixed gin and tonic rather than a pint of bitter, this is the one for you.
Tips
Arrive early. Most quiz pubs don't take table reservations for quiz night — it's first come, first served for the best seats.
Check before you go. Quiz nights can be cancelled for bank holidays, football matches, or private events. A quick check of the pub's social media on the day saves a wasted trip.
Team size. Most quizzes work best with 4-6 people. Bigger teams dilute the prize; smaller teams leave gaps in your knowledge.
