Not originally on our list to visit but it looked so good we went in. It's a Tardis of a pub. It's got 3 levels with a bar on each and a terrace garden on the roof. Friendly barman.

This is where I get to use a phrase which appears a lot on this website, but is rarely appropriate to myself: - “Evening until close”. I so rarely hear bells or shouts of ‘Time’. But I enjoyed a late session here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jarrow - Pumberger Black IPA | 5.00 | | Dark ruby red. More a hoppy Dunkelweiss than an IPA I thought. Good stuff nevertheless. |
| Cullercoats - Bramling Cross | 4.80 | | Golden. Lots of dry-hopping gives this a great blackberry flavour. |
| GreyHawk - Nirvana Pale | 4.30 | | Amber-coloured. Both hoppy and caramel-flavoured. Took me a while to get the hang of it. |
| Mordue - Five Bridge Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| S43 (formerly Sonnet 43) - India Pale Ale | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Rat - Raturday Night Fever | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Camerons - Paschal Moon | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Afternoon visit and quiet. Friendly and helpful staff enhanced my visit, and I was shown around the superb unspoilt buffet bar which was closed at the time of my visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camerons - IPA | 3.80 | | Tip top condition, a good drinking bitter. |
| Three Kings - Billy Mill | 4.00 | | Pale in colour, thin white head. |
| Big Lamp - Bitter | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| Wylam - Admiral Lord Collingwood (previoulsy Collingwood Festival Ale) | 4.10 | Not Tried | Now called Admiral Lord Collingwood. |
| Greene King - Hardys & Hansons Rocking Rudolph | 4.20 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE8 2AN.
A fabulous pub situated on a triangular site between railway lines and close to the south side of the Tyne Bridge – just a short walk from Newcastle city centre in fact. There are two very distinct rooms at ground floor level, linked by a corridor area, plus an upstairs room. Both well-preserved and well-restored by the Head of Steam group, this pub is listed by CAMRA for its historic interior. Subsequently purchased by Camerons Brewery in December 2013.
We have visited this pub 5 times, seen 29 different beers and tried 9 of them.
