About This Pub

Ah, the Causeway, it's one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the evening. The beer garden is a real highlight, especially on a sunny day, with its covered spots making it versatile no matter the weather. They've got a good selection of drinks and ales, and the atmosphere is always buzzing with friendly chats and some cracking events to keep things lively. On the flip side, if you're someone who loves a hearty meal with your pint, it might fall a bit short since it's more focused on the drinks side of things. And while the prices are fair, they can mount up if you're not careful. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night out in Hartlepool – I'd say give it a go if you're after good vibes and a welcoming crowd, but maybe plan ahead if food's on your mind.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, welcoming, and ready to make you feel right at home, just like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • It's got a cracking beer garden with a covered area, perfect for enjoying a pint in the fresh air when the weather plays along.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with a relaxed vibe, great tunes, and a variety of drinks including some top-notch ales that keep things interesting.
  • They've got regular events and offers, making it a lively spot for a catch-up or a bit of fun without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • Some of the ales might be an acquired taste, so if you're not keen on stronger brews, you might want to stick to the more familiar options.
  • Food doesn't seem to be a big focus here, with one mention of not eating, so it might not be the go-to place if you're after a full meal with your drinks.
  • With a moderate price level, it can add up if you're planning a long session, especially if you're treating a group.

Wonderful boozer full of character and with four rooms each with a different vibe. The managers are very hospitable: Amy and Sean. Choice of ales was Cameron Strongarm - very much an acquired taste, and not one I ever acquired - Marston Pedigree and Hobgoblin. I went for the Pedigree. Didn’t eat. Not sure food on on New Year’s Eve. Although I lived in the Pool until the age of 18 this is not a pub I ever knew. Worked in two as a student: the Grange (terrible - punch ups every Saturday night - and the Red Lion at Dalton Piercy - very pleasant out of town boozer where people mainly came for meals and no trouble makers as you had to drive there. Lovely bar staff too. Anyway back this boozer. It seems like a nice place. Lots of character and great managers. As MacArthur said, I shall return.

**December 2024** new lines added since lovely refurbishment - added pics. Cask ale lovers _ 50% reduction Tuesday on lovely pint of strongarm and all cask ales each Tuesday. Jukebox great choice of tunes to pick from. Bar staff all very lovely including the landlord ! Difficult to find a reason to complain, especially with the hidden but delightful beer garden out the back. For pool lovers there is a table here too!
