UPDATE FROM 26/10/20 visit:
The Sun Inn has now re-opened. Whilst the current pandemic prevents customers from drinking inside, you can still go in to get served at the bar and to take drinks outside.
The front room still has its wooden tables and chairs, with sawdust on the floor. A smaller room at the rear had tables and chair stacked up. You definitely cannot drink in either room.
No cask ales are currently being sold. But there are 3 bottled options from Firebrick. I went for the Winders' Ale, which I really didn't enjoy. Drinking outside in the cold may not have helped.
A nice reconstruction of a pub, which I finally managed to visit the third time of asking. But drinking outside is not quite the same.
ORIGINAL VISIT JULY 2019:
We last tried to visit the Sun Inn several years ago, not realising that you had to pay a museum entry fee to get to the pub. The only issue was that the museum was closed on the day of our visit.
This time, the museum was open. The only issue was that the pub itself was closed. Apparently, it cannot comply with government regulations for coronavirus.
The entrance ticket is valid for 12 months. So, hopefully I can get back before next summer and finally get to visit.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Sun Inn
Fine reconstructed inn within the museum's '1900s town', having the bar and rear room crammed with interesting heritage features. Four real ales on handpump, three from the nearby Stables brewery - including the Beamish Hall (£3.60) - and one from Firebrick.
