Looks like a shed but it was probably an old shop now it’s a single room micro. Counter to the back right and home to six pulls, at least seven kegs, five boxed ciders and various cans. Red and yellow walls decorated with a profusion of posters, wrestling and otherwise and Mexican Day of the Dead dollilies in line with the tequila bar theme. Lots of mixed seating mainly at tables and chairs. Rather weird gents toilet.

strange looking building but fine inside, good beer but seems a lttle localish or appeal to a certain style of modern ale lover

Micropub in what looks like a shed from the oustide. It's very close to the Haymarket metro station, but hidden away along a side street. The pub is also very close to the football stadium. The last time we were here was on an early Saturday evening when it was heaving after a match. We were expecting the same after the match on Tuesday, but the pub only has a license until 10pm and we arrived just in time to get served, with many others being turned away. As such, we had a fairly quiet drink in much less crowded circumstances than on our previous visit in December, 2019.
Almasty Cramped & Ossett White Rat are the regular beers, Guests were Arbor My Little Sabrony, King Aelle Block Head, Buxton Gatekeeper & Nomadic Dark Ravine.
Real ciders were Tricky Wizard, Perry's Barn Owl & Barbourne Painted Lady Perry, whilst they also have a good range of craft beers - El Santo Session Pale, Brew By Numbers 08 Chocolate & Orange Stout, Verdant Headband, Kasteel Rouge Lethal Belgian, Three Hills Trium, Vault City Strawberry & Lime & Deya Something Good 16.
The Mexican theme already mentioned is clear to see and the landlord is a friendly chap. It was too fleeting a visit this time. But I'm hoping to get back to what I rate as Newcastle's best pub.
