The Garage Bar and Grille in County Durham

Qué bar y restaurante increíble es este 👌💯, el personal es encantador y la dueña Louise se presentó una señora encantadora. La comida era preciosa y tenía un ambiente brillante. Definitivamente volveremos, gracias.

Great place it was my 1st time here it’s got great food and a good selection of drinks at very affordable prices also has very friendly staff I will definitely be going back here

It was my first time trying the garage as it had been recommended by a friend. I absolutely loved the place, it's so unique inside and a friendly atmosphere as well. I pre booked a table and was glad I did. The staff are really nice and the place was really clean and well maintained inside. It's dog friendly as well so that is a bonus. The food was very good and plenty of it so you feel like you've eaten 😋 . I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

People were very nice really enjoyed the visit 😊

Vinimos aquí con un grupo de 12 amigos todos eran tan acogedores cuando llegamos. La comida era absolutamente de primera clase, todos teníamos algo diferente y todos estuvieron de acuerdo en que no había quejas en absoluto. Los desiertos eran encantadores también en general una fantástica noche buena comida, gran compañía y un lugar impresionante que sin duda volveremos.

Great bar and cafe. Regular bike meets. Owned by bikers and always welcoming

Gran bar para toda la familia la comida es deliciosa, fresca buenas porciones y buena relación calidad-precio, el personal es todo encantador amable y servicial. No puedo elogiar este lugar lo suficiente. Los almuerzos del domingo también son increíbles.

Great place for food. Ate there two nights in a row. Excellent quality food and excellent friendly service.

Brillante lugar excelente comida y bebida real precios reales una visita obligada los filetes son irreales al igual que los desayunos no pueden fallar el lugar.

Love it up here. Great spot for bikers. Tbh great spot if you fancy getting out for a spot of food and great company

Great themed bar/restaurant and the service and food is always top class. We went for one of the bikers night events and tea out for the kids. It also has a vegan part of the menu too. I love the glass wall where you can see into the actual garage and all the quirky things around the bar. Like bikes ? then it's a must visit.

Quiet when we went but Great anyways Service was good. Staff were the right amount of friendly. Class.

Really was a Grate time we had the food was very good and enjoyed the time looking around all the cars and bikes with are friends will we do it again as grate fun cars bikes and a sweet to follow Got to give them the full five stars as the drinks from the Bar where Lush and made my birthday a good one

Great place a hidden gem spotlessly clean friend staff it's a great place to visit .

Vino a almorzar el domingo. Excelente cerdo asado con recortes, y también gran pollo asado con recortes. Nuestro perro tuvo la cena de perro de res. Personal y propietarios encantadores.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch, big portions. Super service as usual.

Fantastic place to eat and chill if you are a pistonhead.

Went down for the bike night on Thursday. Great place! Had a pizza and a couple drinks. Lovely food, great atmosphere. Highly recommended. I'll be heading down again soon.

Good food, good value and good service.

We were visiting somewhere nearby and wanted something to eat so Googled the area and this place came up on Google maps. Had a Quick Look and it looked ok so we decided to give it a go. Upon arrival from the outside we weren't too sure what to expect but we decided to go in and see what it was like. Well I have to say it’s certainly different to any bar I’ve been in before but it was so funky and had a good atmosphere. It was fairly quiet so we went and grabbed a table and wasn’t long till someone came over with the specials. I ordered the steak and ale pie and my mum ordered the corned beef pie, it was main and dessert for £14.95. We ordered chicken nuggets and chips for my daughter. The food was cooked fresh but didn’t take too long to come out and my gosh when it did I couldn’t believe my eyes! The portion sizes were enormous!! We all fully enjoyed our meals but we were so full we had to take out desserts home. Getting takeaway containers for them was no hassle whatsoever from the staff and they packaged it up for us. I can honestly say this was one of THE nicest meals we’ve had in a long time!! Would highly recommend and will definitely return if we are in the area again

Amazing staff brilliant food fantastic, was talking to owner today and they have put alot of hard work to get this place the way it is, thanks so much it a pleasure to eat at the garage, we will be back.

Great place for food and the automotive theme is second to none will definitely be back

Superb atmosphere. Really well done out. Gluten free menu 👍 what more could I ask for?

Impeccable Service, From Lovely Friendly Staff, Great Food, Great Atmosphere, What More Can We Say 👍

Great place,great food ,what more could you ask for

Went for first time today and wow. Amazing home cooked food and good prices. I had the steak and ale pie just brilliant. Place is full off auto and bike related stuff. Cars in the bar and a load of bikes and a garage at the back with work in progress. Staff fun and friendly. Brilliant

Exceptional service, brilliant atmosphere and great food. What more can you ask for, it's a petrol heads dream!!

The best biker bar in the North East. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff, great food.. Very supportive and caring.. A wonderful community atmosphere.

Great place, great food and excellent chef and staff - Worth a visit 😀 👍

Great place for bit to eat and drink relax , great place auto related

Lovely service always a pleasure to be here. The food was really good. Curry amazing 👏. Even our puppy got special service. Looking forward to next visit

Great place to visit for the motoring enthusiast. American style dinner Great food and friendly staff

First time at the Garage, and the food was lovely. The staff were good and had a good sense of humour. Service was slow, but it was busy, so that might have been the problem. Want to go again, soon.

Absolutely amazing place, out of this world. Can't wait to go back.

So glad we chose to go here. Its quite different to your normal bar. Nice concise menu. Great service Food was spot on. Wish we had visited sooner

1st time been great food and friendly 😋 👌

Nice for ppl into bikes and any member of the public . Great collection of motorcycle and car memorabilia

Excellent service and food will definitely recommend.

What a fantastic place!! Was opened as a garage and developed into a bar and grill by the owner, now has that American diner feel about it. Lots of motor memorabilia, motorcycles and cars to look at while you eat reasonably priced, wholesome food. Staff were wonderful and helpful, no bother to change food about for fussy kids ( no salad or sauce on burgers) The stone baked pizza was amazing. Beautiful views while driving there added to a fantastic experience. Thoroughly recommend a visit, in summer has an outside bar and seating area as well.

Great atmosphere friendly staff

Amazing little cafe. Full of great car and bike memorabilia. My two year old absolutely loved looking around. Beautiful food and reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Immaculate inside and out perfectly cooked food fab fresh ground coffee professional staff lovley atmosphere great prices, definitely coming back x

Oh, my Lord. This is the most wonderful bar ever. All the stuff in the bar is related to cars and motorcycles. Food and service exceptional, the owners are the nicest people. You need to visit this place once in a lifetime!!!

Make sure you have loose fitting clothes, meals are huge and delicious. Service is brilliant and very friendly. Petrol head paradise

Only just found this place and my god what an amazing place it is. All the staff are fab, they were all very pleasant and welcoming. I think our server was named Michaela ( sorry if I'm wrong) such a lovely girl, very attentive and full of chatter. The atmosphere was very relaxed and although it was our first visit we felt like regulars. Decor is great, lots to look at for any car/bike fanatic. Food was absolutely outstanding even my fussy other half enjoyed every bit of his. Sunday lunch was lovely and the cauliflower cheese is the best iv eaten. Son was very impressed with the skinny fries and burger. Fist time here and won't be our last. Well worth a visit you won't be disappointed.

Can't believe we've only just discovered this place! What a fantastic find and if you're a petrol head you'll feel right at home. Amazing breakfast and gorgeous latte in large mug. Made to feel very welcome and the service was friendly and speedy ( no pun intended!) We'll certainly be back and look forward to enjoying the outside area in warmer weather.you'll see from the photo it was rather snowy when we visited. Loved the bike helmet hanging baskets 😍🏍️🏎️

Fabulous! Great place for my petrol head nephew! Gorgeous food and very friendly and welcoming staff! This place is a must for anyone who loves cars and motorbikes and good food!!!

Good food helpful staff and a nice place to be

First time I've been, what a great place. Interesting bikes and cars to view and good food.

This place just looks after it's customers so well and if you have a problem the manager does his best to get you home, what more could you want

Fantastic motor-themed bar and restaurant. You could be fooled into thinking you’re on Route 66. Delicious breakfasts and Sunday dinners.

Unreal place, a real hidden gem. Cracking in Thursday bike night or Sunday roast after a ride out

Unique place if you are into cars and motorbikes. Lovely friendly atmosphere and nice food.

absolutely lovely, great memorabillia, and nice staff, and pint John Smith,s and cup of tea 😃

Cracking place, great service and the food is excellent. Very good atmosphere and the kids loved it.

Motorcycle/car themed with loads of vehicles and novelty items to look at. The food is delicious and would definitely recommend their Sunday roast dinner. There is a huge window into their garage inside which allows you to see into their garage. Just ask the bar staff and you can also play darts for free.

Friendly staff, great service and food

A little bit below par today....

Fantastic little place , food quality excellent , I got tea instead of a coffee but didn't spoil the night . Great atmosphere.

Popped in yesterday, I was surprised that I'd never heard about this place before, it was great.

A place with a difference! A definite for petrol heads.

Great food, very nice people, amazing decor. Well worth a diversion.

Lovely food and pleasant staff.

What a gem this place is. Off the beaten track but worth finding. Good food and a lot of work has gone in to make it a lovely venue. Would recommend at the drop of a hat. We will be back thank you x

Scrumptious Sunday lunch was absolutely gorgeous. Very tasty and huge portions. Would go back in a heartbeat. Service was great and the puddings were very tasty.

Great little gem only 20 minutes away from me, never knew this place existed but glad we've found it now!

Lovely food, great friendly service

Fantastic place to visit, a museum of its own

Didn't have anything to eat but what we saw being served looked nice. Cracking atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Called in with kids after school, hit on lucky with pizza night. 3 drinks, 3 pizzas, 2 fries, 1 potato skins, 1 cheesecake and 2 ice creams was about £26. Incredible value and food was delicious and plenty of it. Kids loved the decor as did I. Will definitely return

This place is amazing! Staff and management are superb. Dogs welcome! They always give the dogs water and treats. Food is lovely and the place is awesome. Love you guys!

Great motoring themed bar restaurant.

Had a great time with my family today there was a lady with brown hair serving us was lovely and a man behind bar and bringing us food and drink was very funny indeed dry sense of humour

A different restaurant for racing cars lovers! Delicious food and friendly staff!

Amazing little bar/ resturant, serving a wide rage of different bites. Splendid interior. Shame the carpark is a little small.

The pub is so unique with amazing motorsport themed decoration. So friendly and the food was exceptional, excellent value and great selections 👍🏼

So impressed with everything here. Great people have been done great things in here!

Simply put... fantastic family run establishment. Food was amazing, the staff too. Hopefully I will get the chance again in the future.

My reviews have been curtailed by Google, as I have been told,I am advertising, a not giving a review,

Great little place, dog friendly too!🚘🐕❤

Corn beef pie crust to hard makes the pie look massive but the crust takes up most of the pie not impressive

Great place friendly staff lovely food

Fantastic little gem. Food was beautiful. My family are a bunch of petrol heads so they will be visiting! 🏍

Excellent pub and grub. Nicest place I have been to for many years. Worth a visit.

Fantastic place. Amazing decor, food is reasonably priced but of such high standards . You have to visit this little gem, will be back again and again.

Lovely breakfast, great value for money, very friendly service and the kids loved the quirky decor/theme. We'll definitely be back in the near future.

We turned up at an obscure time of day and sampled the majority of the “Sunday Menu”. It was very quiet, which gave us initial doubts, however the staff was very friendly, the beer was great and the food was exceptional. We will be returning and I hope this review entices others to follow suit. The decor is first class and I wouldn’t mind betting that it does get really busy at peek times, so advised to book to avoid disappointment. We certainly will be returning to sample the larger menu. Great little find. Thank you guys for the exceptional service and food.

Unbelievable food and the loveliest staff. Me my partner my brother and his partner visited here this evening and really enjoyed our night after our food the lovely owner came over to us talking for awhile and then showed us around the garage. Amazon customer service and outstanding food will deffo be back.

Yeah what a quirky bar and restaurant this is all made up of garage stuff Enthusiast of car and motorbikes will love this really good value food too But please check on opening times as they're only open Thursday to Sunday

Great place and amazing specials , went for bike night and great atmosphere

Fantastic place for car and bike lovers also a great bar

Lush Sunday roast, great, friendly staff and really nice venue. Definitely go again.

Fantastic theme bar! Motor enthusiasts will be in heaven!!

First time here and what an amazing place!! Great selection of beers, spirits, soft drinks and food. The breakfast and coffee were delicious and excellent value, with motor racing on the bar screens, staff were lovely too. We'll definitely be back!!

A recent discovery after a recommendation, this is a great, local business deserving our support. Car, motorbike and garage themed, it's spotless and a great venue for good, honest, unpretentious food, drink and personal service. We're impressed by the efforts to cater for customers individual dietary requirements and the friendly atmosphere. There's an outdoor area with tables and benches. Having weathered the difficult pandemic period let's hope it has the success it deserves.
