Specialist craft beer pub in the heart of Monkseaton in the former Parcel and Left Luggage Room serving a selection of beers, wines, specialist spirits and other damn fine drinks.

No alcopops, no cheap lagers, no televisions, just great drinks and great conversation in a great building…
The Left Luggage Room story

Before the concept of a micropub even existed, SpAndy, as they were by then not known, were drawn to the idea of doing very little work and making a decent living. When the opportunity arose to serve a life changingly awesome range of mostly cloudy beers the two shifty shysters thought that this was the business for them.

Finding a dilapidated part of Monkseaton Station with a yet to be fixed indoor water feature was the first step. The 'cutting edge' interior design was achieved with a combination of furniture which Andy had in his garage and some other statement pieces “liberated” from a skip in Cambois. (Please note anyone asking “when will the interior be finished” or “when is the carpet is going down” will be subject to a lifetime exclusion from the premises without further notice.)

If this hasn’t put you off coming down and meeting the legend that is Spanish Steve and his anonymous sidekick then please pop along any day of the week between 12 noon until 10:30pm weekdays and 11pm Fri/Sat; praise is lavished on all customers who can work out how to get into the pub via the almost invisible door.

There are 6 of the best beers on the planet on hand pull and 4 on keg, plus a cider and a lager and the finest selection of wine, gins and whisky available within 25 yards. If you have hated this story then feel free to pop along when they are not open and look longingly through the window at what you are missing.

We are dog friendly too. Bonus.
