The Hoskins in Darlington

The staff are amazing look after you so well

I used to love this place, not no more! Been going here every week for months, recently i had my passport stolen and cant renew one as i cant afford it. I have a citizenship card for proof of age and was refused it and accused of forging it and i was spoke to very aggressively and rudely by the bouncers, i asked them to please scan the QR code on the back of the card as proof that it was in fact real. I also showed email as proof but oh no i also forged that apparently. Its ridiculous, 1 of the bouncers knew me and knew i was 24 not 15! But pretended like hes never seen me before. Not to mention my other friend who was 16 wasent even asked for her ID. Might try one more time and if i get refused again they have lost a good paying customer along with a whole group of people

Went in today stunk of pee , had no tonic for a gin . Much improvement needed Toilets disgusting !strong smell of urine ... place was empty

Cheap drinks, great staff with great service and excellent atmosphere

Great service, great staff, nice pint, great atmosphere 👍🏻

The 2 beers I chose weren't on. When I suggested I'll have 2 bottles for the price of a pint the girl 'in charge' told the poor helpful barman NO. He told me with a look of ' I would have'. Customer service? .What's that then? Only 2 other people in on a Saturday afternoon. I can't imagine why!

it's part of the appeal/guilty pleasure of a darlo night out. yeah the toilets need an update but then the amount of time anyone spends in them shouldnt reduce the mark for such a great atmosphere and night. bar staff always friendly and manageress is a darling

had a nice afternoon ..the young lady behind the bar was really nice and friendly and polite...well priced drinks too x

The toilets are really, really grim, and on a night the place is full of dings, but the drink is cheap and the music is good! Don't go for a coffee, they aren't that kinda place!

Great night out, drinks are cheap and always great deals on. Loses 2 stars for those toilets. Always flooded, falling apart, no toilet roll, no working lights or locks. Usually leave the place to go to the loo elsewhere then come back.
