The Quakerhouse - Darlington

Nice friendly welcome and nice selection of ales.Warm cozy but modern interior to relax and enjoy sampling.

This is one if the best pubs in Darlington. It is definately a place for one thing, real ale of which there is a wide selection always in top condition. The place is always clean , as far as i know they don't do food and I certainly wouldn't take a child in here. They do have bands on at times but usually this is an excellent place for a quiet drink. It is a little hard to find if you're not from the area, tucked down an alley off the High Row so you're unlikely to come across it by chance but worth seeking out.

Very nice little pub in an old yard in the historic centre of the town offering a great selection of mainly local real ales, live music filling the small bar on busy nights.

Was guided here by beer lovers in other Darlington pubs and just about found it, hidden away down an alley, with no obvious signage. Inside was an enticing row of real beers and a friendly fellow behind the bar, who until recently, it seems, lived quite near me in Cornwall--one of the proprietors is his daughter and he helps out. I chose two dark beers that are brewed on the premises by someone known as The Mad Scientist. One was called Sigma, a dark mild, and the other--maybe a stout, can't remember the name--was even better. For a beer drinker, this is an excellent place to drink in Darlington.

Just off the main town centre down a ginnel. Not a big pub by any means but big enough to have a band on. Has a decent selection of real ales which were in very good condition. We were made to feel welcome and were served in a quick and polite manner. Would certainly come here again.
