Old Boots left this review about Ship Inn

Old looking pub but a bit modernised inside and with a basically circular or square internal shape, and has a central servery. Five pulls of local stuff, my Anarchy Blonde Star was pretty good, usual kegs on solos and T-Bars. Odd mix of wooden furniture through out, the outside area is popular and the place may function as overspill from the Cluny which is directly opposite.

Will Larter left this review about Ship Inn

I've called in here a couple of times when in the area previously, and retained a memory of somewhere that becomes fashionable but doesn't last and has to be reinvented. Perhaps this is unfair or just inaccurate, but I still managed to persuade one of my dwindling group of drinking companions to try this rather than the nearby Arch 2. I was glad we did, as the bar had a row of five Anarchy beers on hand pump. I went for the Wor Beer 4.3% which was pretty good (NBSS 3.5). It was getting busy late Friday afternoon, so we drank up and moved on fairly quickly, but as another reviewer wrote, "this one is well worth a look" still.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Ship Inn

An eye catching stand alone pub which always has a good range of cask ales. Five on our visit, Cullercoats Lovely Nellie and Polly Donkin, Anarchy Blonde Star, Out There Brew Co Space Dance and Alnwick IPA. The bar area faces you as you enter and the lounge wraps around either side. The interior was quite small and narrow in places and manoeuvring around was difficult once you get a handful of people in. However there was some good space outside along the front which was handy.
