Number Twenty 2 in Darlington

Oh, Number Twenty 2 – it's one of those hidden gems in Darlington that really hits the mark for anyone who appreciates a good pint. From the reviews I've had a look at, the beer selection is just brilliant; they've got craft brews and real ales that have people raving, like those fresh-tasting IPAs that one chap couldn't get enough of. It's got that warm, traditional feel where you can actually have a proper natter with your mates without the music blaring – makes for a lovely, laid-back evening. With an overall rating of 4.6 from heaps of feedback, it's clear this place is doing a lot right and drawing in the crowds. But let's be honest, it's not all perfect; a few folks have mentioned not getting the friendliest welcome when they popped in, and there's that hassle with payments if you're carrying cash. Plus, since they don't do food, you might find yourself needing to grab a bite from somewhere else before or after. All in all, it's a solid choice for beer lovers looking for a good time in the area, as long as you go in with the right expectations.
