Famous tiny micro in the railway station with doors to the platform outside the ticket barrier, and to the street, only one platform is used here. Famous for the double yellow lines on the tables and nowadays some hectoring posters but once inside it’s very welcoming and you can see the point about the lines and the covid precautions. It will sit about 22 people if they’re friends. One of a limited number of decent places to drink in Hartlepool. A lady walked in and asked for half a lager in spite of the sign on the door saying “NO LAGER”, being put right she said she thought it was a joke. Weird place Hartlepool.

Visited on 19 July and enjoyed Tapped Oat Stout and Allendale Anvil IPA. Went baack later in the week and enjoyed Northern Monkey Sheephouse and Redwillow Feckless. Good place for conversation with locals lucky enough to have this microbar.

One small room with four real ales and two ciders clearly marked on the wall, together with what is to come next. No bar - you give your order to the landlord who brings you out your ale. Opens out to the platform at the back. Decent place.
