Photos on the auction listing show that the inside has been almost ripped out with only few bits of furniture remaining that likens it to a pub.
It comes following the unfortunate loss of The Crooked House, and The Greyhound - both pubs that were victims of suspected arson attacks.
Following the tragic blaze which saw The Crooked House reduced to rubble, The Tilted Barrel was then dubbed as Britain's wonkiest pub.
The Tilted Barrel stands proudly at a slant, after being hit by mining subsidence and consequently tilting not long after being built, leaving it with a "particularly obvious lean". The last subsidence to hit the pub was in 1896.
Built in the 1800s, the watering hole on High Street in Princes End is just five miles away from the site of The Crooked House.
The Tilted Barrel is a Grade II listed building, meaning it is designated as a "building of special interest" by Historic England. As a result, it is given extra protections so the pub can be "protected for future generations".
