The Blacksmiths Arms in Hartlepool

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Definitely my new local. Extremely dog friendly as well, dogs usually get served before the humans

Nice old pub in hartlepool. Been a few times. Good atmosphere.

Great food, everything was homemade, service was really good, and staff were very attentive.

I have been a regular in the pub for a long time and for me it's the best and oldest (over 200 years old) in town. Good friendly atmosphere. Great staff. Excellent Beer and food. I have my Sunday lunch every week. I cannot fault it

Didn't have food but the service and atmosphere was fantastic no better way to relax and chill.

Great little pub, proper drinks, really good music from the duke box, good staff. Can't ask for more. Homemade pizza van outside and they let you bring it in when you want to eat it.

Family and dog friendly, warm atmosphere, great prices and special offers. Great entertainment, kareoke, bands, quiz nights etc delicious Sunday lunches and speciality nights

Not to bad to be honest , needs a bit of tlc , it was going to close down ,but hopefully the new owners can improve a few things , the staff are very friendly and now it's a free house the drinks are reasonably priced and their is a fantastic pizza van outside , what's not to like . They have live music on now and again and have started doing special food/theme nights , Okay bad points as they were the good points above , no wheelchair access & the parking is awkward but their is plenty of parking space around the corner near the church

Very hospitable dog friendly pub. Nice pizzas made by Motivate in the front car park

Popped in briefly for a pint whilst waiting to collect a pizza from Motivate (the wood fired pizza van outside). We were really impressed with the friendliness inside and they had RoadCrew and Cameron's Strongarm on. Very pleased. Think we will be doing the pizza run with a beer in here more often. Awesome pizza outside by the way! Motivate Stone Baked Pizza.

Lovely pub to visit good food. good choice of drinks and excellent service

Visited on a Monday afternoon which was quiet in the back room. Strongarm good and warm and comfortable room

Food was good & the staff were excellent.

Lovely little place, nice folks x

Had a first class Sunday lunch highly recommended 👌

Very friendly place. You can have a conversation with several people you've never met before. Well behaved children and dogs are welcome. Pool table and darts board. Multiple rooms. Food is good but only available at limited times.

My parents have both passed and The Blackies welcomed us for both Wakes. The food is lovely and the pints were cheaper than anywhere around hear.. Thanks guys.

Lots of memories here since I was was teenager. Great pub. You can hire a room or just go for a pint and game of pool. Good atmosphere too, homey.

Lovely unspoilt cosy pub. Lovely greeting when we walked in - I think it was the owner. We had lunch, lasagne for me and steak pie for my husband. Both were delicious. Great pint too. Prices were amazing definitely going back to try out some other dishes

Quiet pub on the week days. Very well decorated and friendly staff. Pool table and a coin wall. Beer is good prices are also good! Well worth a check out.

Sat outside with the dog. Landlord friendly, landlady brough dog biscuits and water bowl out. Drinks are cheap and wine was nice. Will go back.

Outstanding meal service second to none can recommend highly

A brilliant gig by my cousins tonight in the back room. Good to see the place full. There wasn't a great choice of draught bitters so I opted for Guinness. It's hardly changed.

I loved their penny wall, forgot to take the pic

Good pub. Didn't try the food, but it looked good. Cheap pint too

Good ground and clubhouse, service terrible

Great pub and cheap pint. Had a fantastic night

The place to stay on a budget outstanding

Mad mad mad live entertainment and that's just the customers

Lovely little pub with proper working landlord! Always has a good atmosphere and friendly staff

Nice pint and has a few different gins, very friendly pub and nice food

Good beers and friendly pub does nice food also

Great atmosphere and very friendly.

It is a nice friendly local. Lately it as been really cold as the landlords are not sorting the heating out. Marsdons are good at what they do. They just lack the ability to act on the things that are necessary.

Great pub, cosy week nights, busy weekend nights, fun to be had by all!!!

Used to be a great pub could be great again with a bit of care and investment

Good friendly staff selling good beer and home made food

Nice friendly pub with good beer and food.

Excellent pub, friendly and welcoming.

Nice pub, and a good pint but can be very busy at weekends.

Great atmosphere, reasonable pricing. Plus a pool table.
