About This Pub
Ah, Rosie's Tavern, what a gem in Darlington! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening. Most folks are raving about the welcoming staff who make you feel like you're catching up with old mates, and the drinks are a bargain, which is always a plus when you're out for a pint or two. The live music on weekends adds a real lively touch, turning it into a fun spot without getting too overwhelming. Oh, and if you're into a bit of pool or planning to bring your darts, it's got that sorted too, with plenty of praise for the excellent pints and top-notch service. On the flip side, though, there was that one review where someone felt a tad profiled over their choice of clothes – it's a shame because it might make you think twice if you're not dressed to the nines. Overall, it's got a solid 4.2 rating, so I'd say it's worth a visit for a good time, but just keep in mind that, like any pub, it's not perfect. If you're in the area, pop in and see for yourself – you might just end up making it your go-to spot!
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are absolutely lovely and friendly, always making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
-
Drinks are super affordable, which is a real winner for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
-
The atmosphere is spot on – it's got a great vibe, especially with live music every weekend that really gets things buzzing.
-
Plenty of fun activities like the pool table, and it's perfect for popping in with mates for a game or a chat over an excellent pint.
Cons
-
There might be some issues with how they're enforcing any dress code, as one person felt a bit singled out for wearing comfy tracksuit bottoms, which could put some folks off.
-
With mostly positive feedback, it's hard to find much else, but it does seem like the odd negative experience can stick out in an otherwise cheerful spot.

Great atmosphere good larger always go when in the area
Lovely friendly staff very cheap drinks and live music in the place every weekend would recommend xx
Would have maybe been a better experience could I have got a drink without been profiled due to having a pair of decent tracksuit bottoms on (There much more comfortable then jeans and it's not a dress trousers place). Seemed OK when initially walked in a nice crowd seemed to have gathered inside. Shame about profiling due to tracksuit bottoms been on which I didn't see a sign about just a lady coming and telling me. She was polite about it but there should have been clear signage and I wouldn't have turned up shame could have been a nice few drinks.
A great pub, excellent pint and first class service.
