Opened in 2014, this was the first micropub in The Potteries branch area within a converted antiques shop. It's a brilliant addition to the burgeoning Newcastle real ale scene.
The bar is located on the right of the entrance and the cellar is in the window. The front room has high wooden benches, while the back room has more traditional chairs and tables which also serves as a function room if booked.
Five ales are served on handpump at any one time, with new and rare beers being a speciality, plus some beers brewed exclusively for the pub. Beers are sometimes served straight from the barrel, to increase the number available. Up to nine real ciders are also stocked, plus bottled lager. Alongside more traditional wines and spirits, there is an extensive range of speciality and rare rums. Third-pint tasting bats are available, as are basic snacks such as pickled eggs and pork scratchings. Two and four-pint takeouts are available.
Customers are welcome to bring their own lunch and eat it while supping the beer.
The pub is open all day on bank holiday weekends, including longer in the evenings.
As of 2020, the building became owned by the pub and an attractive terrace known as 'A Yard of Ale', with a shelter, has been opened.
