About us

The Pele Tower, also known as ‘The Vicars Pele’, was the first of it’s kind. It was built in AD 1300 for the Vicar of Corbridge and was lived in as a fortified vicarage until the early 17th Century.

Today we are a Micro Pub & Brewery selling quality craft ales, ciders, wines and spirits. This truly unique and historic setting has three floors, each with it’s own unique ambience.

The Pele Tower is a Grade 1 Listed building with National Monument Status.

Really unusual and unique but also so friendly and genuinely welcoming. Many thanks especially to amazing Ashley and regular Mark who made us laugh so much. Beware the stairs but well worth it for a weird and wonderful climb back into history and wee nook of comfort and cookieness

We were advised to visit this little bar on our trip to Corbridge, just wow!!! History in a tiny tower, over 3 floors. It's just beautiful. We explored the 3 floors, took photos then had drinks outside in the sun. We'll definitely be going back as it made our 1st trip to Corbridge even better. Paula and Steven xx

Very interesting and atmospheric pub in an original Pele Tower right in the heart of Corbridge. They make their own beer. The bar is in the vaulted ground floor area, and there are two floors of tables and armchairs upstairs, up a steep and narrow stairway (not suitable for disabled people), plus tables in the pedestrianised street outside. Definitely recommended for a quirky and friendly venue.

Charming little place which has been adapted for use in a very considerate way. The local beers it sells are good and the coffee was very well received. Obviously the stairs can be a bit tricky but there is still the downstairs and outside space you can use. The person serving was very nice. Overall it is certainly worth a look around and it is a sympathetic use of an old building.

Wow! What an incredible place. It really is unique. It's on several floors, with a mezzanine level. Steep, tight, concrete, original stairways leading to different floors and rooms. So we'll decorated. Live music, on certain evenings and times. A selection of wines for sale on the groundfloor, as well as a lovely bar area. Barman was welcome and friendly. Loved every bit of it !!
