The warm and welcoming Alexandra in North Shields has reopened with a new look and feel, inside and out, following a £210,000 investment into the refurbishment of the popular community local.

Alongside the pub’s transformation, there has also been an update to its entertainment offering, with eight TVs to allow for an amazing viewing experience from all areas of the bar. Just in time for the upcoming Fifa World Cup, BT Sport and Sky Sports have also been added to make sure that guests at the pub don’t miss any of the biggest sporting occasions across the calendar.

For those looking to take part in some sporting action themselves, a new pool table and illuminated dartboard have also been added alongside new gaming machines to enable guests to take on their friends.

The pub will also be putting on a range of entertainment which will see Mondays kick off the week with a Race Day throughout the day,. Tuesdays will see the second Race Day of the week alongside the Men’s Darts League in the evening, with Wednesdays offering bingo throughout the day and the pub’s Pool League fixtures taking place in the evening. Thursdays will host daytime Bingo, followed by a Digital Quiz in the evening.

Weekends at the pub start with a Sixties to Seventies DJ Takeover in the evening. Saturdays will host a Sports Social throughout the day to enable guests to keep up with all the biggest sporting fixtures, followed by an evening of Bingo and Karaoke. The week then concludes with Sunday’s Sports Social throughout the day, followed by the pub’s second Pool League fixture of the week and live performances from local singers in the evening.

The Alexandra is being run by Dave and Christine Johnson, the couple were both born in the North Shields area and have over 25 years of experience in the pub industry, making them the perfect suiters to take the pub forward.

Speaking on the refurbishment, Operator at the Alexandra, Dave Johnson said “We’re so proud of the pub’s new look and both myself and my wife Christine are really excited for the future of this great pub. We have a range of new entertainment going on at the pub throughout the week, which alongside our new look makes the Alexandra a must-try for both locals and passers-by.”

The Alexandra is part of the award-winning Craft Union Pub Company, who were named the Best Community Operator at the 2022 Publican Awards.

Dave added “Myself and Christine grew up in North Shields and know how important pubs like the Alexandra are to the local community. Bringing people together is of the utmost importance to us and we have a whole host of plans in the pipeline to make sure there is plenty of entertainment on offer here at the pub for local people.”
