About The Riverside Inn

The Riverside Inn on Blackett Street reopened in 2025 after a spell closed, bringing another traditional local back into use on the northern side of Hebburn towards the river. It has a beer garden and hosts live music, and its return was welcomed by regulars keen to see a familiar pub trading again.

As a recently revived neighbourhood pub it leans towards drinks, sport and entertainment rather than dining, making an easygoing spot for a pint and some live music. Its reopening adds to the choice of traditional pubs across Hebburn, complementing the food-led Cock Crow Inn and the community locals on Mill Lane.
