About
A back-street pub on Howick Street that CAMRA's Tyneside and Northumberland branch describes as a many-time North Northumberland Pub of the Year, around 180 years old, and proud of being a back street boozer. The branch's listing, updated in July 2026, names a range of cask ales, real cider, the widest range of bottled Belgian beers in the county and more than 150 single malt whiskies, a darts team and an annual leek show. It is cash only, according to the same listing. It is a drinking pub and opens mostly in the evenings, so check before you go.
