9 Anchors

Former flower shop in the centre of the sea front, opened in April 2017. The name of this micropub derives from the rescue of 9 crewmen from the Danish schooner "Doris" that floundered off the Hartlepool coast in 1930. During refurbishment of the premises, the plasterboard was removed, revealing original bare sandstone walls. The quirky tables and chairs are constructed from driftwood reclaimed from the beach and the bar has been converted from a Welsh dresser. Interesting interior decor, together with wonderful sea views. There is an acoustic evening every Wednesday.
