The Delta Lounge, Newcastle Central, Newcastle Upon Tyne

An excellent micro and well worth a visit. We were very lucky on our Friday Eve visit to see their Box Social Gentleman's Nectar on handpump, which is a truly fabulous beer and is brewed by a young chap who once worked for Anarchy Brewery in Morpeth and now is part owner of the Box Social. There was also three other handpumps on the bar, two of which were from Box Social Brewery a porter and a Blonde beer named Convive Blonde. They also had a good range of ten beers on keg. The micro also played some excellent rock music.

Built into a railway arch at the back of Central Station. Unusually for a micropub this one has two floors. It's still small though and advertises that it can be hired for groups of up to 50 people. Very neatly decorated with small tables & chairs downstairs and a couple of comfy chairs and more tables upstairs. 3 handpumps on the bar and numerous bottled beers advertised on a blackboard. They also serve wine and prosecco in small pouches which is also unusual. I had a pint of Out There Angara which was in good nick. I liked this place and we'll call back again next time we're in Newcastle. Note that it doesn't open on Monday or Tuesday.
