Harton Hop House

Located in the quaint village of Harton, just a few miles from the town centre of South Shields, you'll find the area's second micro pub. This charming establishment, once an ice cream parlour, has been transformed into a cosy bar that offers a unique and intimate experience. The pub initially offered both cask and keg beers, but has since shifted its focus to exclusively serve keg beers. In addition to its selection of beverages, the pub also provides a range of food options. Patrons can enjoy a variety of charcuterie and cheeses, making it a perfect spot for those who appreciate good food and drink. Every Wednesday, the pub hosts a special 'Pie and Ale' night, offering a delightful combination of hearty pies and quality ales. Adding to the unique atmosphere of the pub, a quote from the band Talking Heads graces the entrance above the bar, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. Given the popularity of this micro pub, it is highly recommended to book a table in advance to ensure you secure a spot. For those travelling from further afield, there are convenient bus stops nearby with routes to South Shields and Sunderland. This former ice cream parlour turned micro pub is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts and food lovers alike, offering a unique experience in the heart of Harton village.
