Iron Horse in County Durham

Excellent few hours there will be back soon

Good pub, reasonable prices, felt welcome by all that was in there

Was there to watch the champions league! The staff was great, we had so much fun! They also have a juke-box! So if you want to listen to your own tunes, this is the place to be.

Found it because we wanted to watch a Premier league match, which they had on their live TV. It was not very busy but the friendliness with which everybody receives you is fantastic, a proper local pub where everybody wants to know who you are and where you are from. We ended up staying until closing time, drinks are very reasonably priced especially by European standards. If you do end up in the area its a must visit

They wrote all my details down, checked my id 5 times, checked my id with the manager, put it under uv light multiple times and checked it against someone else's and still didn't serve me. My id isn't fake, I got it just after my 17th bday about 2years 6 months ago. Checked with more people as I'm writing this. They have also now asked me and my friends who are older than me, one of the people I am with has kids and still won't serve me or my brother anything. Absolutely ridiculous, you would expect an establishment that serves alchol would know what the up to date ids look like 😔😔🤬🤬🤬. Although, one woman who wasn't even on shift who worked there tried to help as much as she could and wasn't rude about anything, I didnt catch her name but she was the only good thing about this place

Pub and pint only. You can see the young recreation going on around you and feel sorry for them.

I really find it inappropriate one of two things: A) your bar staff accused me of being on drugs when I am clearly not,just enjoying myself with my family and friends. And B) That my father and brother were about to have a brawl in the pub,when they are both adults and know not to tarnish your business and if they were to brawl they would both understand the consequences that follow. I have been to your pub multiple times and this time shall be the last. I may have been spending big bucks behind the bar but that does not label me that am illegal or some sort of gang leader,I shall spend my money some where else. I think that putting my money into local business goes at lot further that some franchise business that earns a lot more that yourself. I shall not be putting any money behind your bar again. I apologies if this sound harsh but mabye the insults shall not be thrown in future. Regards, Matty

A real pub with pool table and Dart Board in the bar- both are used too! A lounge with no food menu a welcome change from the 'food pub chains' Usually some form of entertainment on in the lounge at weekends- friendly staff and customers The Iron Horse is a great place to go and socialize.

Looked OK from the outside when I was picking people up.

Friendly place, pints are tasty n reasonable price, clean, everyone is polite if your not a regular like me (once back in the day), bar staff are great, one issue (the pool area, everyone should have a chance having a go (winner stay on..no problem, that's fair, play killer then everyone has chance of having a game or even having a few strikes at the table) apart from that keep up with the good work 👍 n happy birthday to the land lady 🎂

Nice pints and kids love pool table and friendly staff 😀

Played in a Pool match here. Did not enjoy the atmosphere outside the Pub, where there were foul mouthed Friday night drinkers who were gathering in quite large numbers, intimidating average customers, blocking the entrance and screaming and shouting and unaware that they might be upsetting people. Theres nowt as strange as folk. I think the doormen should have asked them to settle down a little

Nice environment, BT and Sky Sport available for footy fans, and friendly staff

Good friendly atmosphere! Fantastic karaoke and of course the multiple tv sports screen

Nicely kept ales in a friendly atmosphere

A good pub. Google seems to think it's a Wetherspoons. It isn't! You can get a meal here though.

Cheap pints and karaoke night is a good laugh.

Joke! Got questioned who I was as one of the members had an affair with a bar maid!! Don't appreciate been questioned who I am when paying for drinks. Get it staff under control !! And staff not rude !!

Good place to hv a drink n chat up and if you fancy a sing

Nice pub (although management tends to bar people just because their friends don't like them)

Always a nice pint. Pool table and darts board available
