A warm welcome is always guaranteed at the town's most successful micro pub. Opened in March 2015, the Infant is one of several micro-pubs within what was the town's 'solicitors' quarter', all within a stone's throw of each other, and located in parallel streets of substantial Victorian terraced houses just south of the main shopping precinct and north of the University campus. Handy for the Law Courts, while Middlesbrough football ground is a fifteen minute walk away. Its close location to the Riverside has resulted in a developing national reputation amongst dicerning away football supporters, with matchday Saturdays resulting in a tremendous atmosphere.
Named after Gladstone's description of the town in 1862, after he had witnessed the expansion of the local steel making and ship building industries, all now sadly departed.
Three third pint tasting trays are available. A recent Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Season.
The pub continues to act as the local watering hole for past members of Teesside University Real Ale Society, (TURAS).
This Pub serves 4 changing beers and 0 regular beers.
