Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

14 Sept 2026

SaltHouse in Whitley Bay is a coastal tapas restaurant and bar where dogs are welcome inside, so everyone can settle in for Spanish dishes, cocktails and that laid-back seafront dining atmosphere. The food is cooked fresh to order, with seafood from North Shields Fish Quay and a casual tapas style that makes it well suited to sharing plates and longer meals.

It has that holiday evening by the coast kind of energy, especially if you want something more atmospheric than a standard pub meal. Good for slower lunches, tapas dinners and drinks that accidentally become a full evening, with paws tucked under the table and hopeful noses monitoring the sharing plates.

Dogs can join you inside, which means no pavement waiting while someone else enjoys the seafood and cocktails. Useful for wet-weather coastal days when you still want proper food and a relaxed setting.

Good to know:

Water bowls available

Free treats available

Doggy menu available

Dog Policy:

Dogs are welcome inside in a separate section, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle while the tapas and cocktails happen without them.
