Rat Race Ale House

Rat Race Ale House Rat Race Ale House - Really good Real Ale at Hartlepool Railway Station! http://www.ratracealehouse. It's a pub. A proper pub. Not a "normal" pub. We do.

Permanently closed.

It's a genuine, real, proper, no bullsh*t, no airs-and-graces, pub. If you want the usual garbage you get in most pubs, this probably isn't for you. If you want good beer, it probably is. Don't expect much more, don't expect Lager, but do expect good beer. And we're CAMRA North East Regional Cider Pub Of The Year 2012.
