Nice place and good atmosphere, staff are friendly and attentive. Home made pizzas are lovely and drinks are a bit pricier but not surprised to to beach location. Only complaint is the walls outside toilets, near the pizza oven are borderline hygiene hazard, filthy and in desperate need of repair/repainting. Outside seating area on cinema side also a bit scruffy. Apart from that, decent

We visited the bar at the bottom of the beacon twice. The pizza & drink deal is great and the pizza was delicious. The bar is dog friendly inside & out. The only downside is that no one seems to clear tables outside, but I only saw one staff member who was manning the bar.

An iconic structure on Redcar seafront. From the outside, it rather resembles an incomplete helter skelter and tends to be Marmite - people either love it or they hate it. But either way, there's no denying it stands out from other seafront landmarks and the endless repetition of piers. The view from the top is worth it, and can be accessed by either stairs or a lift - and having been up, you can reward yourself with a drink from the bar at ground level!

Love The Beacon. Such a unique building, great views from the top, lovely pub on the ground floor and at night the building looks fabulous all lit up. It’s right on the promenade so great views out to sea (when the weather is clear). It’s free to go up to the top too. Haven’t been to Redcar for a while but whenever I go I always like to see The Beacon. I really can’t understand why some people think it’s an eyesore. No offence to the town but Redcar hasn’t got much going for it except for the Racecourse and Racing isn’t every day. The Beacon is a pleasant looking landmark that due to pub at the bottom is more useful than many newish editions to the North East. You want to see an eyesore then look no further than the Angel of the North. The Beacon is well worth a visit if you go to Redcar in my opinion.

Visited for the first time today. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you can go to the top of the beacon without paying! (There is a trendy bar attached at the bottom). I decided to take the steps up to the top (7 floors of stairs), but there is a working lift for those that aren't able to navigate the stairs. On various floors there is businesses operating including the local radio station (Zetland FM). The view is stunning. At the bottom there are toilets. Overall a pleasant experience and I loved the view from the top.
