Baba Yaga's House

Baba Yaga's House in Whitley Bay is a quirky, character-filled bar and café with a slightly alternative edge and a welcoming community feel. Dogs are welcome inside, so everyone can settle in together while the venue's cosy, creative vibe works its magic. It's a place that attracts an eclectic crowd and feels a little different from the usual café stop.

The venue often hosts live music, spoken word and open-mic nights, creating a lively social atmosphere alongside its drinks and small-plates style food offering. Whether you're stopping for a coffee or staying for an evening session, the relaxed setup encourages people (and paws) to linger.

It's the kind of spot that suits a wet-weather refuge or a longer catch-up with friends, with enough character to keep things interesting and enough warmth to make dogs and their humans feel genuinely welcome.
