The pub is found in North Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE30 1NH.
Corner house in Camden Street, former bank then social club turned pub and then sold to S & N so choice became restricted. Subsequently tied to the Jarrow Brewery in July 2012. Reported in October 2013 that the Jarrow Brewery has put the pub up for sale for £375,000 so could be yet another owner soon. Events have changed things here and by 2022 reported no real ale sold here.
We have visited this pub 12 times, seen 19 different beers and tried 16 of them.
