The Tannery, Hexham

Old Boots left this review about The Tannery

An old pub that’s been a little modernised mostly in the decor as it retains a two bar layout and the rear services area seems untouched. The big clear windows, white tiled wall at one end and jazz sound track are modern additions notably in the right hand bar. I sat near some awful noisy middle class southerners which took the edge off the experience but otherwise OK. The left hand bar is similar to the main one but less messed about other than a multi coloured tiled wall. The larger right hand bar has the four pulls but a sad choice of Wainwright, Landlord and a house beer that name checks Laine. Fairly standard keg line up on a horseshoe, Blue Moon on a solo might be the most interesting, Madri, Guinness and Murpheys, Inchs cider, Moretti and Staropremen bring up the rear. Traditional old and probably original furnishings of banquettes at revamped Britannias, some have playing cards set into the stripped wood tops, otherwise a mix including an odd collection of bar stools in various materials and styles. Walls are covered in pump clips and beer mats but sadly none of those interesting beers were to be had. A black board promises bottles and cans from Allendale, First & Last and Anarchy. The Dutch gable tells us this was originally The Skinners Arms.
