Great place for a quiet drink with friends, or a wild night when bands are on. The team behind the bar are always on the ball. And good fun. Top class. 👍🍻😁

I apologise for the low rating but I actually have never been here so why it's asking me to put a rating online is beyond me It's probably nice but I can't say

I've been visiting this pub for at least 20 years... Is that right? It can't be?! They have a fantastic selection of beers and some seriously drinkable cider. It was a quiet Monday evening when I was in with some old friends, the Barman was witty and played along with our shenanigans. A good time was had by all.

Hard to find , especially if you follow Google maps ( it's NOT in the covered market or the market square ! ) . Good Rock / music pub which is just starting to have some live music 🎶 again after all the last 18months of turmoil. Very friendly lady behind the bar who knows her real ales & Darlington history 😁👍 Had a chat outside in the courtyard with the owner who is sound 🤘 Worth trying to find.
