Great location, cute pub with a nice homely feel. Good selection of beers. They had free soup on offer when I was there which was a very wholesome touch!

Great selection of beers, spirits, ciders and non alcoholic options, a great menu of food and there was even free stew on when we visited! Also this place has an amazing roof terrace!

With friends who live in Gateshead, I have visited this place a few times over the last few years. There is always a good choice of real ales and all are well kept. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I particularly like the back room, which is quiet and allows for a good chat. The place itself is unique in shape and has plenty of rooms, including an outdoor area.

We entered this pub for the history itself called the coffin for its shape or wedge.It is really bright and clean, the manager welcomed us and invited us to go up to the terrace and it was a brilliant idea. We enjoyed the sunshine and the trains passing by our side. Beautiful views not to Newcastle but some aged buildings opposite.Very recommended.

Nice pub, a good selection of drinks. Anyone paying a visit for the first time should check out the top floor.

Stopped by for a quicky when we were in the area, amicable barman who suggested we go to the roof bar for a view of the area. Great outlook and better still proper draught beer, its my kind of pub.

The pub is run by some nice young gentlemen, who are more than happy to help you picking a beer from their big (and very diverse) selection of brews! You will find none of the Heineken / Guinness brews there, but just local and independent Ales, Ciders and Lagers at great prices! The pub is very clean and also it has a super nice rooftop terrasse for relaxing in the sun (if it's out), a pool table and even a third room with a stage, where you would find some concerts on the weekend.Honestly the nicest pub of Newcastle (even though it's in gateshead :P) and a great place for anyone wanting to try some alternative brews!

A must visit. Great history, architecture not to forget the ales, beers and locally sourced bar food. Can't wait to go back

Lovely place, deceivingly small from the outside but what an amazing space! Loads of bars and a proper snug! Roof terrace on a warm day is a must! Will definitely be back
