RAT RACE ALE HOUSE
AT HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY STATION
1769
Different beers from 492 different breweries
since opening day (25th November 2009) - and counting!
_________________________________
The Rat will
REOPEN
Thursday 14 October
for COVID-double-vaccinated customers.
Fret not. The Rat has returned.
Acting on advice from Hartlepool Council,
for the time being The Rat will be for
SEATED CUSTOMERS
ONLY
so capacity will be limited.
There will be no reservation system -
it will be first-come first served, until we see how things work out.
THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
WE ARE BACK!!!
And of course...
We are now
CLOSED on ALL
Sundays and Mondays.

CASH-ONLY (no cards, no contactless) pub
DOESN'T ALLOW DOGS for various reasons, including a dog allergy.

And we're now on Twitter as @ratracealehouse, but it all seems a bit pointless as there's no way I can condense the beer list down to 140 lousy, miserable characters, unless somebody out there has some bright ideas?

Thanks to Lorna for the Rat!!
Yet more thanks to Martyn Hillier at The Butcher's Arms - click here - for giving me the idea for starting the RRA!
If you're in the vicinity of Newark-on-Trent and you need a Micropub fix, why not visit Just Beer?
Or if you're in Ramsgate and need a beer in a Micropub, there's always The Conqueror!
And finally on Micropubs - As I can't keep up with all the new openings across the country, the best examples are all members of the Micropub Association
For those planning a food and drink trip further afield, the Rat heartily recommends visiting De Paterstafel at Watouplein 14, 8978 Watou, Belgium, for great food (Mike - the menu isn't in English!), excellent Belgian beer and a good night's sleep - and Watou is a great place to visit for BEER!
