Graham Coombs left this review about The Queen

An atmospheric alehouse with an excellent and changing range of beers - a superb North Ridings Treacle Toffee Stout enjoyed on this visit - with a keg wall as well as the set of handpumps. It has somewhat eclectic decor, ranging from conventional to bizarre, but does feel like somewhere you would go to enjoy yourself. Good for a visit, but not sure if I could settle in for the evening.

Strongers . left this review about The Queen (Crafthouse & Cantina)

The Queen has the feel of a live music pub with dim lighting and a corrugated iron wooden topped serving counter across the rear that faces a row of high tables across the centre. Iron tables and chairs are found along the front and up the left wall and there’s a raised seating area to the right labelled ‘the snug’. Next to the counter on the left rear wall is a television, that was off, and underneath is a shelf with years of GBG books, I’m assuming this place is included. Background music was being supplied via an old style jukebox that has been digitised.
Standard and premium keg were available and the back bar is lined with eight fonts for the craft lager selection. Four of the five hand pumps were in use drawing Redwillow Breakfast Stout, Abbeydale’s Pilgrim, Black Lodge Brewery’s Anytime Cowboy and Durham Brewery’s Hedleyhope. The service was polite, but I struggled to get comfortable.

Quinno _ left this review about The Queen (Crafthouse & Cantina)

An odd cross between a Mexican bar and grungy beer house. Orange and black interior decor, with some industrial stylings. Five cask on; my first choice didn't drop (the great Untappd showed me plenty of crystal clear cask pictures), the replacement of Abbeydale Heathen was a bit flabby (NBSS 2.5). I also had to pay the difference between the two which, whilst explained when I took the first one back, felt a bit off. Though the barmaid clearly had no clue on the product she was selling and I suppose was employing the Nuremburg Defence. Just me and a ‘weekend dad’ with his son in attendance. Easily the weakest of the town centre’s GBG pubs, once was enough.
