The pub was starting to get quite full on our visit as there was a punk band setting up their gear in the back room. The name of the band was the FU's, good to see the pub hosting live music and drawing in the punters.
The pub has fairly low ceilings and the interior isn't that big, so I reckon it could get quite loud. Two handpumps serving Great North Eastern Brewing Golden Tap and Darwin Cyborg Bette. Both beers were in good nick and prices good.

In all my previous visits to Sunderland, I'd never managed to find this pub open. With both Google and WhatPub showing 5pm opening times and being booked on a train at 5:30pm, I was planning a very swift visit. However, having left the King's Arms in nearby Deptford a little earlier than planned, I decided to quickly visit the Ship Isis before the Museum Vaults opened.

Imagine my surprise to find the Museum Vaults open at 4:45, with a couple of customers already inside drinking. I asked the barman what time they opened and apparently they open at 3pm meaning that their Facebook times were actually correct. As such, if you go on a Saturday, you should find them open at midday.

Two ales were on. These were Three Brothers Sabro & Idaho Session 7 IPA and Consett Ale Works Steelworkers Blonde. I also spotted Thatcher's Cheddar Valley cider in boxes at the end of the bar. Despite my natural inclination towards the cider, I decided to give the Three Brothers beer a try and very nice it was too.

Sitting in the window, I could see most of the pub, apart from the rear which was in darkness. There is plenty of memorabilia to admire on the walls and a TV was showing classic Premier League goals with the 2 punters reminiscing, before a third local character entered.

My visit was every much as brief as I'd planned, as I still had time for one more pub before heading home! But I'll be looking to return here someday.

Small two room pub with the counter in the front room housing three pulls, only Greene King IPA and a rather nice Styrian Blonde from Great North Eastern. Dreary collection of national kegs. Lots of nice original touches in this basic boozer.
