A micropub and a social club are raising a glass after winning accolades in this year's CAMRA awards.
Allison Thear has run Wor Local in Prudhoe for nearly a decade and has celebrated several awards in that time.
The micropub has won in the latest CAMRA Pub & Club of the Year awards as the overall winner for the Tyneside and Northumberland Cider Pub of The Year. Berwick-based Curfew took second place and Office in Morpeth was third.
Wor Local was also named Pub of the Year for South West Northumberland.

It was followed in second place by The Black Bull in Corbridge and by two pubs in joint third place, which were the Holly Bush in Greenhaugh and the Pont Tap in Ponteland.
Allison said: "This time, we got the overall Cider award for Northumberland which was an extra special one to get, bearing in mind it's the whole of Northumberland."
Allison turned the business, which was once a computer game shop, into a pub after buying it in 2016.
"We enjoy the pub because it's the kind of pub we want to go to when we go out. In a micropub, because it's small you end up sitting next to someone and chatting to them. Quite often, you end up sharing a table with someone and you always know someone when you go in. Micropubs are just friendly.
"Whenever we go anywhere now, the first thing we do is work out if there's a micropub and it's the first place we go to. You never get two the same, they're always different."
Wor Local's products, which are a range of real ales and real ciders, are sourced locally.
"Because real ales and ciders have a short shelf life, you've got to look after it and do it well," Allison said.
"We try to keep the prices right, some places you go they're extortionate. We like families to come in, we have board games and it's a family pub. We're proud that a lot of people come back again and again."
Haltwhistle Comrades Club took the top spot for Northumberland Club of the Year, followed by Stocksfield Cricket Club and Ovington Club. It has also won CAMRA's Regional Club of the Year six times overall.
Laura Caisley, who has run the Comrades Club for the last six years, said it was 'amazing' to have won the Northumberland Club of the Year award every year since 2013.
"We're trying our best to keep the club in an immaculate condition and have it welcoming for visitors and members.
"I love the social side of it. We have so many functions going on at the minute, and to see everyone celebrating and having a good time, it's great."
Laura has refurbished the Garibaldi Bar upstairs, which has been closed for many years, as an additional function room.
The club has regular singers on the first Saturday of each month.
