The Quakerhouse - Darlington

I worked in Darlington 20 years ago and it was my local and the last time I was there was 12 years ago. I came back for the Blues Weekend and found the place had hardly changed, friendly, great beer and live music. What else can you ask for!

I have been going to this secret spot for more than twenty years, sporadically, and I am pleased to say that it is still the best ale house in town. The prices are good, they have a great selection of beer, and there is always good music playing in the background. I love it.

Found this on first visit to Darlington by accident. Great friendly pub, friendly enthusiastic staff, lovely locals. Best covers band I've seen in years: Sound Divide, made my year. Hope to ge back in the future, music is alive and well up here.

I've been going in since August 2021 alone and with others. Excellent staff. Great drinks including from it's own brewery Mad Scientist. Freindly customers. Sells a variety of drinks including soft drinks, real ales and lagers and ciders. Small pub. Dog friendly. Disabled toilet downstairs. Function room and toilets upstairs. Live music bands on some nights. Worth lots of visits. Check the opening hours.

Friendly people and great ales! I had a good chat with the locals and staff and drank 2 pints of Psi Mad Scientist. Wished I could have stayed longer.
