Quiz Nights in North Shields

There is nothing quite like a good pub quiz: a few pints, a bit of friendly rivalry, and the slow-burning agony of a question you really should know. North Shields has a handful of proper weekly quizzes across its pubs, from the Fish Quay to the town centre. Here is our guide to quiz nights in North Shields.

Enigma Tap, Wednesdays

Enigma Tap is a friendly micropub on Bedford Street, just off Northumberland Square, and its Wednesday quiz is a firm local favourite. Expect well-kept cask ales, a warm and chatty atmosphere and a free cheese board to keep you going. It is popular, so pre-booking a table is recommended.

Best for: a proper micropub quiz with good beer and a cheese board.

Fishnet Tavern, Tuesdays

Down on the Low Lights by the Fish Quay, the Fishnet Tavern runs a weekly Tuesday quiz hosted by Mark and Graham that has become a genuine community highlight. The historic quayside setting adds to the fun, and it is a great excuse for a midweek pint by the river.

Best for: a lively quayside quiz in a historic pub.

The Seven Stars

Away from the quay, The Seven Stars on Albion Road is a traditional local that runs quiz nights alongside pub games and live acoustic music. It is a relaxed, community-focused spot for a low-key night out. As quiz nights can move around, it is worth checking the pub's Facebook page for the current day.

A note on timings

Pub quiz schedules change, so it is always worth a quick check of a venue's social media or a call before you head out, especially for one-off or seasonal quizzes. For more nights out, see our guides to the best bars and cocktails in North Shields and the oldest pubs in North Shields.
