The Split Chimp Tavern in Astley Road has been listed for sale online with a £25,000 asking price.
Specialising in craft beers, the micropub is currently a sister bar to The Split Chimp in Newcastle and The Split Chimp Ale House in Whitley Bay.
Someone looking to buy the pub, which comes equipped, would get a licensed premises with a capacity of 60, and would take over a lease costing £700 per month.
Current owner Mark Hall said his reasons for selling were private, and dismissed speculation on social media as inaccurate.
He said: “It is a successful community pub and hopefully it will continue as a successful community pub, provided I can find a buyer that will continue with it.
“It is the only place in Delaval where you get a decent pint of cask ale.
“Being in the centre of Delaval, it is the sort of place where people want to be.”
