NumberTwenty2 in Darlington

Extremely poor customer service, while ordering a drink they stated they did not have the ingredients at hand to order the cocktail they advertised on the bar. Then as I tried to decide on another drink the extremely rude and abrupt bar staff rang the bell and stated I could not have another drink.

Cracking pub. Proper traditional place with great beers and a buzzing atmosphere

It is noticeably that this place has lower rating that the close by ORB which is far better. When you walk in no great welcome. Struggles yo read pub clips, with no assistance from staff. Ordered two beers and coffees cash. Was told no cash in till cars only or correct change. Was then pointed to beer board behind head with card or correct cask message, so why did staff not point to this when struggling to see beers. Staff then tried to suggest message in front of handpumps saying card or correct money, but handpumps in front never had msg. If so restricted on money should be very clear on front door (not shown) and stated before ordering. So staff were very familiar with certain customers but ignored us.

Had a good time, great staff excellent beer

Closed again without any notice or informing clients the day before (Sunday) Poor client communication Web site says open this evening Not impressed!

Never had food but great atmosphere and drink choices

Great pub to have a drink in Darlington. Well recommended.

Had 2 amazing sandwiches and real cooked chips, and 2 real ales. Highly recommend..

Great early “New Years Eve “celebration ending at 5.0pm but set up for the real one later(but not as good!)

Lovely dog friendly pub with lots of different pale ales and independent beers on offer.

We were visiting for drinks only. Some different beers to choose from

Good selection of real ales in a cosy wood panelled and upholstered environment, which belies its micropub status: feels like it has been an old fashioned pub for decades!

Called in for a few ipa s & a portion of spicy nuts . Nice atmosphere & surroundings .

My wife and I just love coming to this pub and in our opinion this is the best bar in the town There is always a tremendous selection of beers on tap and there is a variety of gins and wines is also available The market is definitely for the middle-aged silver and grey pound but it is a lovely spot with a very lively atmosphere and there’s always somebody to meet every time you go I’m really looking forward to my next visit

Darkish, cramped, a bit dingy, full of older people (40-70) but if you don't mind that, well, okay. The beer is good, the staff are good but some are a bit proud- like they are doing you a favour by serving you. It comes from the top I guess. Since the last owner retired, the new landlord might try and be a bit more welcoming to customers? 'Good evening sir! Welcome to 22, I'll be with you in a minute.' Just saying. Service fellahs. Service. Otherwise, good luck.

We have visited this establishment for many years, it has always been one of our favourite venues in the town. We visited the pub on Friday, where as in the past we were met with a friendly greeting, we found that this wasn't the case. The Bar Team didn't meet or greet and were a wee bit surly??? I mistakenly left a parcel on leaving. I rang once I returned home to enquire had it been found. Sadly I didn't feel the person I spoke to, did indeed check and they advised me it wasn't there nor had it been handed in. I am so saddened by their response, uncaring and I feel this lets the reputation of this establishment down.

Great drinks, great service, always

Had a few decent beers here. Can't fault Darlo

Had a couple of drinks in here with my daughter yesterday (06/02/24). Very friendly, informative staff, with a fantastic selection of real ale options. Not your usual lager hostelry. Would visit again.

Nice bar good beer .Down side dose not except cash.

Staff are very polite and knowledgeable. Friendly welcome and decent range of ales.

A proper pub. No telly's, no music, great beer and good conversation. Not cool hip and groovy and a generous shortage of trendy beards and silly haircuts.

Special place, try the Erdinger on draught , it blows yer socks off !

Another place not taking cash anymore !!

First visit nice pub staff could look happier

Visited here on Friday with two friends of mine.with my wife being from Darlo I've visited Number twenty 2 alot. Great pub and great staff.👍🍻

A very good selection of ales,and the atmosphere and staff were very helpful.

Proper pub. High quality. Great decor. Great staff who are very professional- especially Bev who is an absolute star. I can't recommend the place highly enough.

Very good would recommend good prices, little too much burger sauce in my burger but burger was nice 👌

Just had food and beer here. First time visit, won't be the last. Excellent choice of real ales and good basic food well cooked and well presented. Lovely staff as well. A good sandwich and 4 pints for £23. Great value! I'll be back.

Awesome always good. And very good selection of beers

Went for Father's Day. Great pub great service great atmosphere!!!!!

Great selection of ales and some wines

My favourite pub.... the Bull is always excellent. Great Staff & always meet friends at every visit....

Great atmosphere and great choice of beers..

Very good local pub. Good service and good beer! Great atmosphere.

Great selection of real ales, friendly bar staff. Well worth a visit … 16 hand pulls and the beer kept very well

Decent place good vibe. Not too busy when we went but plenty of people in

This place is a perfect sanctuary for lovely people who enjoy great and friendly service. Amazing selection of beers that you just don't find elsewhere. Well done guys.

I have to mark this once great pub low for the simple fact that they no longer accept cash which is truly ridiculous. two stars for the White Boar Bitter. Luckily, Darlo has lots of great alternative near by venues that will accept The Kings Pound from many many people who will never accept digital tyranny and discrimination.

It hasn't changed. Still the same vibrant place with fabulous beer. It's only open until 10 pm. Though I guess that's more a sign of the times than an enforced curfew.

Great Bar, excellent beer. Thank you.

Came in, guy behind the bar was great. I didn't know what I fancied, yet staff member talked me through his recommendations. Second round - I asked for a duplicate larger. Different staff member didn't know what larger were on . Then at payment did not acknowledge payment had gone through. So when I continued to stand and wait , he then went to try and serve me again . Customers need to know payment has gone through, rather than have back turned on them

They wouldn't give you any change if you pay with cash.

Proper pub with some real quality beers. Great friendly staff. Highly recommended

This is the best place in Darlington from the York guys

Nice place to sit and have a drink

Nice atmosphere good service outside area excellent

Lovely bar & the outside seating area is great. Nice selection of beers.

Always busy and always good beers xxxxx

Great atmosphere and loads of different beers to suit all tastes

I drink in here regularly and don't have a bad word to say. Great staff who are friendly and knowledgeable. Beer always kept to perfection and clientele who are a pleasure to be around. Don't listen to the people who say it is for posh people only, it's a pub for people who enjoy good beer and good times!

A bit expensive, but nice atmosphere.

Lovely pub. Great range of beer and really friendly staff 👌

Awesome, fine selection of ales and food with excellent customer service

Excellent beer well kept traditional interior

Great atmosphere, great staff, whow were friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Select of handful and draught ales was unbelievable. Well worth a visit

Excellent! Great hand pulled beer and lagers, great atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming. The food is good but slightly on the expensive side for what you get in my opinion but that's the only thing I can criticise.

Kind and helpful staff. Great ales and ambiance. Outside seating. Good to visit a real pub!

Very busy but good selection of beers and a pleasant atmosphere with a mix of age groups

Great pub, always a good selection of real ales, though I always end up having a pint of White Boar

Absolutely amazing pub. To say that the pub was only created in 2014 it has the feel of an old, established pub. Cracking. 👍😁

The place is spot on for a relaxed friendly atmosphere with no loud music - you can actually have a conversation, such a variety of ales and drinks.

Enjoyed a good pint, whilst the wine was also good and reasonably price. Busy, so couldn't get a seat, but had fun anyway.

Good real ale pub.. Demure atmosphere. Not cheap. But some fine ales. Not a great amount of seating. They also do lunches

Excellent, traditional pub, with a good selection of real ales! Always busy and plenty of helpful staff working flat out behind the bar!

My 'go to' meeting pub when in Darlington. Always a few real ales on including local ales from the Village Brewery. Plenty of other quality drink choices for those who don't drink cask. Always a decent crowd in here too.

Brill friendly pub lovely selection Real ale

Fab ambience and selection of wine and beers

Great place with a really nice atmosphere and selection of beers.

Lovely friendly staff and lots of nice draft beers

Great beer's and very helpful staff friendly place 👍

My favourite ale house in the whole land! i always make a special trip to 22 when I'm in Darlington. The ale is exceptionally well curated and served.

Lovely gem of a place! Endless selection of drinks and had a lovely side of chunky chips...went down a treat. Highly recommend.

Fabulous pub ,exceptional choice of ales ,great friendly service and low key music

Great rustic bar serving a selection of beers

Nice place for drinks with friends. There is always a good selection of ales and staff are friendly

Very poor service and card only no cash sales . Didn't like the space to narrow and not good in an emergency to get out

A good range of beers and a mature clientele

Always has a great selection of beers, warm and friendly staff and a good clientele

Really atmospheric pub with excellent choice of real ales

Never remember having a bad pint in 22's, always a great selection.

Love this place. Great selection of beers and spirits, amazing staff and such a nice vibe and layout wherever you sit/stand. It's the kind of place you pop in for a pint and just don't really want to leave!

Great place. Great atmosphere. Good beer

Fantastic pub with good atmosphere and great choice of real ales and gins.

Great range of real beers, blonde, bitter etc., as well as a range of spirits. Great atmosphere, staff are knowledgeable and friendly If your in Darlington you need to visit the place

Love 22’s, we’ve been going for years and whilst we are going through difficult times I’m am disappointed that on a Saturday night drinks are not served after 9pm. Is this going to be the norm?

Always good service and choice of beers.

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Fantastic selection of beers 🍻and a great Aperol Spritz! We were all happy to spend a lovely afternoon here and will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely summer afternoon here with my partner couldnt have asked for a better service! Having been our first time in area we couldnt have asked for a warmer welcome. Will defiently come back again

Brilliant selection of drinks from great larger to traditional ales to in-house distilled spirits. Was spoilt for choice here and the staff were an absolute pleasure. Definitely on my stop whenever I visit!

Absolutely amazing place - staff couldn’t have been more helpful … will be definitely returning, your welsh friends Xx

Delicious food and perfect service in a friendly atmosphere. Clean and tidy venue especially important during this post covid 19 era

A superb venue. We were looked after no end, and an incredible beer selection to boot. We will definitely be returning to try some more of their offerings

Not sure if we were welcome or not was my thinking

Lovely pub. Good food when it’s available. Brilliant and friendly bar staff, but one of the rudest owners i have ever met. No interpersonal skills at all. I’ve spent many times in this establishment and all have been pleasant when he’s not there. If someone needs to be asked not to do something there’s a way to do it that he just does not know how to do. Rude rude rude and an unpleasant man. A lovely day out for lunch with my man spoiled by an unpleasant man.

Great service clean and efficient

Never disappointed with the choice of drinks, always made welcome, good service, great all round place to meet up with friends and relax over a drink!😁

Friday evening drinks sitting outside. Great beer, gin and attentive table service. Recommended.

Canny beer. Reasonable prices. Good staff. No food in the evenings.
