Al Bear

Al Bear is a friendly bar and kitchen in Whitley Bay where dogs are welcome inside. You'll find a relaxed pub atmosphere, good food and a warm welcome for the whole group, whether you're stopping in after a coastal walk or settling in for the evening.

The bar serves drinks alongside a proper kitchen menu and dogs are welcome at the table throughout. Recent visitors mention staff who look after four-legged guests as well as the humans and the central Park View location makes it an easy stop for shoppers and daytrippers alike.

Open Tuesday to Sunday with food served daily, Al Bear offers the kind of straightforward, dog-friendly hospitality that makes planning a visit simple. No fuss, no separate rooms—just a welcoming space where everyone can sit down together.
