Naff. Went out in Darlo for first time in 13 years and got a very frosty reception. Apparently this is a FPO orientated pub where one must not make merry or have a laugh. Maybe its because they have a 4ft doorman who has "little man" syndrome and hates tall good looking people. Never returning to this pub, they are simply too rude and unwelcoming. 😕

We've been here a few times over the last 8yrs when staying in Darlington, it used to be very dark, quite rundown and with its own clientele but its had a big makeover, very nicely done out with a great outdoor area and best of all it sells our fave drink, Magners in bottles, we'll defo go back.

Atmosphere was absolutely flat on a Friday night. Door staff took my friend outside and searched him for no reason. Found absolutely nothing on him but still seemed to find their little power trip enjoyable and were smirking the whole time. Only succeeded in making the only group of lads in the pub leave. Avoid. Many more better pubs in Darlington.

Not entirely sure they keep bringing up something that happened a year ago when alcohol mixed with my medication which ibwasnt aware of and rectified after. which i apologised for and never gave them any hasstle for all this time, my review is based off a recent experince with door staff outside the venue.They also delete negative reviews of facebook and are incapable of rational conversation. Mental helath nights appear to be a way of attracting customers for business cos they could not care less about their regualrs. 😆 keep getting responses saying i was berred parementely for my behaviour, when actually that was for 3 months, i was bareed for questioning god forbid why i got barred for a year even despite my apologies and respecting their decision since then, upon entering not being aware i was barred for those 3 months. I apologised sinecerely and had no issue with being barred. seemed unfair to be punished for something i wasnt even actually aware of as got no response to my apology,questions or explinations as to what went on that night despite being a regular customer who would often help the staff out( even applied for a job there!) got told by the door staff I was going to be put on pub watch for simply being stood outside the venue waiting for a vulnerable person to attend a wake despite not entering the venue for over a year. The male door staff was absoloutly spot on and lovely but the woman needs to give her head a wobble thinking public land is hers whilst littering on it at the same time. The door staff repeatedly said I would be on pub watch, to say she didnt when u were not there is a lie and there was a witness to it.

The beer is great value, about £2.50 for John Smith's, the deco is lovely with a large beer garden. Only downside is the pool room is tiny and certain angles are too tight to make a shot. Apart from that, they're open till 2am and great staff. Highly recommended.

Hit and miss here, we expected an 80s90s night but the music wasn't so I wasn't really impressed with the DJs. Unfortunately there was an obscenely drunk mother and daughter in, to the level where the female toilets were out of action for a very long time and an ambulance was called. The staff handled the whole thing as professionally as possible and supervised use of the male cubicle for lasses which was nice of them......BUT I would say how come they got in as if you seem that drunk most door staff will decline entry ......it is possible they were in a long time but I know the lovely bar ban has worked there a long time and I am confident he would have refused to serve them if they'd been in a while Anyway, I do like the place and the bar staff and so it still gets stars, just less than in the past.

I went in not too busy and had to wait while everyone behind the counter had finished their conversation. Eventually I ordered cortado and a hot chocolate and two cakes not a very good barista. There was no pattern on my cortado the cakes were stale. It was coming to the end of the day but professionalism should last till you clock out.
