Too large to be considered a micropub however despite it's modern trendy ethos it was worthy of a visit as it was friendly and welcoming.

The pub is found in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE1 1SA.

Newcastle's first micropub in May 2015 built into a recently refurbished railway arch behind Newcastle Central station opposite the site of the former Federation Brewery. Relocated to a larger arch, Arch 7, on Westgate Road in May 2016. Larger than some micropubs and split over two levels, six handpumps serve an ever changing selection of real ales, with one dedicated to the house beer, Clever Chimp, from Three Kings Brewery. Foreign bottled beers are available. Closed suddenly in September 2023 quoting increased costs of running the venue.

We have visited this pub once, seen 3 different beers and tried 1 of them.
