Left Luggage Room

It’s Christmas time, there’s no need to be afraid. Well, except Spanish has asked Santa for a gimp mask, several ball gags and some new shackles for his dungeon so that’s the heads up to all of you, just in case you were thinking of accepting his New Years Eve invitation to an intimate gathering.
Speaking of the festive period our hours will be mostly the same. We are buggering off home 30 minutes early on Christmas Eve at 10pm. On Christmas Day, Deadman, Alex and Coady will... be down as soon as they have got their lunch finished which will be by 7pm but may be a touch earlier. They will stay open until 10ish or until they can’t be arsed to stay open any more.
New Year’s Eve will end at 9pm so you can all get off to your next venue to see in Big Ben and Spanish can get home to see in the New Year in his traditional way clad in a red mankini with 12 green grapes in bowl hiding his modesty.
I shit you not, this is a thing. I would have posted a shot of Spanish in a mankini but the nausea would have held back sales

It’s almost that time of year again when we try to forget for a few days that the UK might be heading off a financial cliff edge, the most powerful man in the world has the mental dexterity of a house brick and, if we carry on as we are, the rising seas will mean we will all get to sail to work much more regularly.
To cheer your festive season Spanish (who we may be able to return to his homeland if we get a hard enough Brexit, so things perhaps aren’t all that bad) has come... come up with a plan to improve your Christmas. Gin Advent! Every day a different, new gin will be available for one day only (once it’s gone it’s gone) at the bargain price of £2.50 a shot. We will tell you on here, Twitter and (G)Instagram what’s what every morning so that you can better plan your day. We need your feedback on all of the gins as this will shape our refreshed selection in 2019.

Two posts in three days! What’s going on? Is this a much needed nod to semi-professionalism? Is there more news to share with people?
Well, there is news and this time it’s all to do with Monkseaton. We are two weeks away from our second birthday and as with everything, the only constant is change.
This time in 2016 the windows had just been delivered and we were trying to get the floor finished. This week we will start the process of conversion of our store room further up ...the platform into a kitchen. We are conditioned not to cook in the pub, and we don’t have the room anyhow. That’s no reason why you all shouldn’t get the best food in the region from the best pop ups. To help them serve that we are kitting out a kitchen for the evenings and weekends. Pop ups should be starting just before Christmas so keep your eyes peeled.
If weekend food isn’t enough for you we have a new resident keg tap launching today. For the foreseeable future Cloudwater will always be on the bar. Loads of keg and can happening from 6pm tonight. First on will be the DDH IPA Citra along with all of these cans in the fridge.

small but perfectly formed. Friendly staff, lush wine and fantastic collection of wiskeys. I particularly loved diplimatico. Extremely good night

Wonderful place , friendly staff and great selection of beers. Will be going back soon.

Without a doubt my favourite pub in the U.K. Popped in yesterday with my in laws who are frequenters and once again was blown away by the beer selection and how lovely and personable the staff are. Would reccomend to anyone visiting up north well worth it!

Very busy dog friendly pub, great selection of craft beers, ciders and lots of gins. Atmosphere is great, a proper pub with no pretensions to be anything else. Don't be put off if it's busy, people come and go so tables available pretty quickly. A real gem

This pub is a hidden little gem and it's in Monkseaton metro station. Perfect if you are a real ale drinker and the drinks are from local breweries.

The idea of opening a pub on the metro station was pure genius. The reality is even better. I love the atmosphere and the ale is always good too

Superb choice of predominantly local Real ales but this isn't a local pub for local people they welcome everyone

Only found this place by chance whilst on our Easter break so glad we did, what a fantastic little pub, the beer was fantastic and staff very friendly. We were there on the Sunday night and it was Buskers night so got to see some really good music as well. We will definitely be back when in the area.

Newcastle Hash House Harriers pub of the year ..... and we visit a LOT of pubs! Need I say more #drinkingclubwitharunningproblem

Loved it - from the moment we walked in got served had our drink and left - excellent bar - needs nothing changing at all - go visit and see for yourself - highly recommended xxx

Love the place, great staff and great atmosphere, Sunday night is buskers night so a sing along is a must, pub is dog friendly too which is always a plus for dog walkers in need of drink during, pre or post walk

Love the choice of drinks at left luggage. Good strong real ale, cider and huge selection of gin this added to a great friendly pub makes it a winner every time! �

Just perfect!

It's a brilliant little pub. Great staff, very good prices, lovely ales, whiskeys, gins and wines. Busy on weekends but it will never stop me from visiting, it has also great music nights like a buskers and also gigs too....a very relaxed and friendly place too.....thanks again to Andy and Steve for such a great little pub...!! ���

I'm actually in LLR as I text/write. It may have outstanding beer, it may have 2 handsome eccentric owners? but what makes this bar/pub/room work? is the bar staff. I love coming here post work, and the silly ridiculous bar banter is unique and priceless.

I love this place. Relaxed, quirky and very reasonable. No television, no piped music and no gaming machines. Just nice friendly people, where people actually have a conversation.

Hell yeah

Great venue, hope it never changes



Johnny and the gang have nailed it ���

Great pub, nice mix of eclectic furniture including old suitcases in front of bar - good choice of real ales especially Tryanuary promotion at only £2 a pint - rude not to - trains run every 10 mins so no need to rush

Great place with a nice vibe . Well stocked with wines ,spirits and plenty of cask and craft ales to choose from. I shall return

Great little pub, it’s got such a lovely atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. It’s my favourite local in monkseaton

Great little pub and right on my door step

Great little bar and friendly staff.

Great atmosphere, excellent service and very good prices too! Love this place. Very unique and quirky , always a good night here!

Good selection of ales at the bar. Nice setting at the station and convenient to get to. Great place for a good drink.

Friendly quirky bar you can stop off to have either a quick drink on your way to town etc or to stay and make a night of it! Would def recommend it as atmosphere is really great and they do amazing flavoured gins.

Favourite place for a Sunday Funday! The staff are lovely talented people and the gluten free beer is amazing �

Fab little bar. More needed like it. Very busy on a weekend but a great atmosphere and great staff.

Deeply wonderful. Beer, gin, wine, rum, whisky ... I could go on but life is too short. Just go and try the place.

Amazing place for a drink. So many choices of gin/ales/wines and more !! Lovely to pop in after a walk along the coast or on the way home �

Absolutely love the place we go there every chance we get and Sunday nights are the best

Absolutely an awesome place! Wonderful beer and lovely happy staff! Definitely coming back! �

A relaxed hour or two spent with friends sipping wine, beer and cider� Loved this chill place, wonder could we have similar in Dublin?

A little hidden gem ... it’s a must !

Great selection of gin thrown in !’

Quirky little bar on station platform. Very busy at weekends. Good selection of craft beers, whiskey and gin.

Friendly, bustling atmosphere, dog friendly, but you do have to queue for bar.

Overall good experience.

Lush beer, great staff and very easy to get home from. What's not to like?

Lovely big space with Great range of craft beers Gin and whisky. Will be back

Excellent choice of hand pulled & keg craft beers at excessive city centre prices. Good atmosphere & well worth an outing with fellow beer lovers.

Sorry not feeling it. Warm stout in an unfinished warehouse with lots of people in jumpers having serious conversations. Could only get seat on stool beside sack barrow. Pretentious methinks so not for me
