There’s nothing better than seeing a new business open its doors in North Shields, and Chalet ’86 on Albion Road is already turning heads! This 80s-inspired retro sports bar is the perfect mix of nostalgia, entertainment, and good vibes.
If you’re into vintage arcade games, you’re in for a treat! From Donkey Kong to Street Fighter, they’ve got a rotating lineup of classics. Fancy yourself a bit of a pro? Get involved in their monthly competitions for a chance to win cash prizes!

Not into gaming? No problem. Chalet ’86 is also a top spot for catching live sports – think Premier League, Champions League, and more, all shown on their big TVs with surround sound to match.
And it doesn’t stop there! They’ve got live gigs, open mic nights, and even buskers’ evenings for a chilled vibe. If you’re a local musician, this is your chance to shine – reach out and get involved!
Got plans for a Friday night? Make it a Fizz Friday! With 25% off prosecco, it’s the perfect excuse to grab your mates and toast to the weekend.
They’re open seven days a week, so whether you’re after a midweek hangout or a weekend spot, Chalet ’86 has you covered:
Monday & Tuesday: 4 PM – 10 PM
Wednesday & Thursday: 11 AM – 10 PM
Friday & Saturday: 10 AM – 11 PM
