Hazy Daze

Hazy Daze opened in 2021 inside the restored Spanish City complex on Whitley Bay's seafront, having begun as a lockdown-era plan for a craft beer shop with sea views. The unit combines a bottle shop stocking cans and bottles from small breweries alongside natural wine, cider and local spirits, with a taproom pouring rotating draught lines from breweries across Britain and beyond. Dog-friendly seating faces the promenade and the North Sea, and staff double as a tasting counter for recommendations rather than following a set stock list. The business trades from this single unit only, without a second bar or shop elsewhere on the coast. Opening hours run from midday Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays, with earlier finishes midweek and later ones toward the weekend, and it remains independently owned rather than part of a bottle shop chain.
