Of all the micro pubs that now exist in the UK, this was the second to open, (after the Butcher's Arms, Herne, Kent). Landlord Peter opted to leave the 'rat race' himself, making use of this one-time newsagent's shop, with access from both the railway station platform and the station approach. Four changing beers and two real ciders are kept in a cool room from where the customers, (max 20 seated), are served direct to their table by the landlord himself. Popular with locals and County Durham real ale lovers, (the bus station is adjacent), the Rat Race is also visited by London imbibers, who take a day trip on the 3 hour Grand Central direct train service from Kings Cross. Not surprisingly, the pub has won many CAMRA awards during it`s existence, with its latest accolade being Local CAMRA branch 2020 Cider Pub of the Year. Since opening in 2009 more than 1900 beers, sourced from over 500 different breweries, have been served direct to your table by the landlord himself. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Please note that the pub also closes during the licensee's annual holidays. Quality crisps, nuts and pork scratchings are available. No dogs. Accepts debit / credit cards, as well as cash,

Village Crossing, Billingham
Recently opened on 2nd February 2018, this former funeral parlour and village co-op is now a modern, contemporary micro pub, where church pews meet leather sofas, and photographs of yesteryear adorn the walls.

Card carrying CAMRA members are afforded a 20 pence discount on both halves and pints. Ideally situated on both the X9 and 36 bus routes, though it is a bit of a hike from the railway station.

Porky Pint, Billingham
REMAINS CLOSED FOLLOWING REMOVAL OF LICENCE Opened in December 2016, this uniquely named, bright, modern two roomed micro pub lives up to its name and represents a refreshing change to the traditionally accepted micro pub theme. Every pub has to have a unique selling point, so four real beers are served supplemented with hot pork, beef and turkey sandwiches, together with pigs-in-blankets, roast potatoes, gravy and stuffing, as well as a dessert board. Hardly surprising that in it's previous life the building was a traditional butcher's shop. The four real beers are served on a rotating guest basis, with Cameron's, Timothy Taylor's, Bradfield's and McColls' beers featuring recently. Private parties can be catered for in the small back room, and which can probably accommodate about 20 people. Impressive Sunday lunches are available 12 - 4. The large outdoor patio area catches the sun throughout the day time and evening. Closed Mondays.

A warm welcome is assured from the owners of Stokesley's first micropub, situated towards the west end of this busy market town. The pub is striving to go someway towards adhering to the established micropub norms, with it's back to basics approach, and where even the bar, seating and tables have all been made locally from beech trees cut by a family friend. And there is nothing 'pagan' about this family run Green Man, though the pub does have a fresh spring feel about it. And upstairs there is a relaxing lounge where it would be hard not to chill out and there is also a loo that would win prizes. Fulfilling a dream of this world travelled newly retired couple, this pub is destined to become the go to place for locals and visitors alike.

Isaac Wilson, Middlesbrough
This popular large pub is named after a 19th-century railway industry magnate, who was a company director of the world's first public railway, the Stockton & Darlington. The Isaac was a Wetherspoon's conversion of the former law courts and. no doubt, more familiar to some than others, and continues to, more or less, follow the original Wetherspoon's formula. It comprises one long bar serving two regular beers and three guests to a single room, with walls adorned with photographs of old Middlesbrough. Third pint are glasses available. Pub grub is served all day everyday. In November 2017, after a short period of closure, new owners took over and continued with, more or less, the same underlying Wetherspoon's formula, but without having the bar adorned with the former owner's national brands.

Hydes Bar, Norton
Dating back to the 1750s and originally a blacksmiths yard and a coach/stabling house, Rowan Yard then became a family run Joinery & Builders Merchant for more than 50 years. This micropub, which opened in December 2016, has been sensitively renovated and refurbished in keeping with the long history of the building. Some items on display were recovered during the restoration of the premises. There is a mixture of comfortable sofas, wooden tables and chairs with high stools at the bar and bi-folding doors opening out onto the patio area. Old photographs are displayed on the brick walls including one of special interest located behind the bar that shows the premises when previously a blacksmiths. You can picture the horse and carts in the courtyard. Besides the four real ale pumps, four ciders are also served. A fine selection of gins are also available, including the Gin of the Week. The pub can be hard to find. It's located between a Chinese take-away and Billy's sandwich shop near the roundabout at the south end of the High Street. Discount of 20 pence are given to card carrying CAMRA members on both halves and pints.

Ship Inn, High Hesleden PERMAMENTLY CLOSED
Sadly, the Ship Inn remains closed because of Peter's continuing ill-health. Sheila is keeping the Facebook page up-to-date. This 2012 CAMRA North East Regional Pub of the Year is as good as ever. Now in its 20th year of family ownership, complete satisfaction is guaranteed at this nautically themed spotlessly clean rural gem. The landlord serves seven beers, most locally sourced with a bias towards blonde beers, together with real cider. Bass is also available as a keg offering. His wife runs the superb restaurant offering top-quality food at reasonable prices, including mid-week early-doors two-course specials. There are stupendous coastal views from the well-kept gardens. Six motel-style chalets provide good-value accommodation. Closes during owners' annual holidays, so please check before making a long journey. Also please check winter opening hours. Bus 206 from Blackhall, Peterlee and Wingate.
