About Enigma Tap
Enigma Tap is a friendly micropub on Bedford Street, just off Northumberland Square in North Shields, known for its well-kept cask ales and welcoming, conversational atmosphere. Its weekly Wednesday quiz is a firm local fixture, with a free cheese board and pre-booking recommended as it gets busy.
Small and characterful in the best micropub tradition, it is a good spot for a relaxed pint and a natter as well as quiz night. Charity quizzes for local causes feature too.
