The Owl

The Owl

4.9(120 reviews)
96/100
The Owl in Hartlepool is a real treat with top-notch food and drinks, friendly vibes, and great value, though it's only open a few days a week.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food at The Owl is absolutely spot on – reviewers rave about the delicious street food options, with great flavours and variety that make it hard to choose just one dish.
  • They've got a brilliant selection of drinks, from draught beers to specials, and it's all served in a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed evening.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating; they'll go the extra mile, like sorting out options for fussy eaters or making sure everyone feels at home, which really adds to the charm.
  • It's dog-friendly and offers great value, especially with those midweek meal specials that won't break the bank.
  • The venue has a lovely vibe in the heart of Hartlepool's cultural district, tucked away in some historic buildings that give it a unique, hidden gem feel.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which means you might have to plan your visits around the rest of the week and miss out on a spontaneous night out.
  • Some dishes can be a tad spicy, so if you're not keen on heat, you might need to double-check or opt for milder choices to avoid any surprises.
  • Being in an area with some old, neglected buildings around it, the location might not feel as vibrant or inviting for everyone, especially on quieter days.

The Copper Kettle is a hidden gem of a cafe in Hartlepool, serving up cracking breakfasts and a warm welcome that makes it feel like a proper local favourite.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on – fresh, well-presented dishes like their breakfasts and pancakes that leave you wanting more, as if they've put real heart into every plate.
  • The staff are so welcoming and friendly; it's like popping into a mate's kitchen for a chat while you wait for your meal.
  • It's got that cosy, homely feel with nice seating that makes you want to linger a bit longer, perfect for a relaxed catch-up.
  • Great value for money – you can get a brilliant brunch for two for just £30, which feels like a proper bargain without skimping on quality.
  • They're pet-friendly too, which is a lovely touch; one reviewer even mentioned getting a sausage for their dog, making it a family affair including the furry ones.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get busy, so you might have to wait a bit for your table, especially on weekends – but hey, it's worth it for a spot in this gem.
  • The opening hours are a tad limited, mainly around 9am to 3pm and only five days a week, which might not suit if you're after a late-night spot or something more flexible.
  • As a small cafe, it doesn't have the full pub vibe with drinks or evening entertainment, so if you're craving a pint and some live music, you might need to look elsewhere.

Lock Gates is a lovely little bistro in Hartlepool that's become a real favourite for its cracking breakfasts, warm service, and welcoming vibe – a solid 4.7 rating speaks volumes!
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The breakfasts are absolutely brilliant – full of flavour, generous portions, and fantastic value for money.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, going the extra mile to handle dietary needs like allergies.
  • The place is always spotlessly clean, making it a welcoming spot for a relaxed meal.

Areas for Improvement
  • It seems to close a bit early in the afternoon, around 2:30 PM, which might not suit those wanting a later lunch.
  • From what I've seen, it's quite focused on breakfasts, so options might be limited if you're after something else later in the day.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff at The Nursery are absolutely brilliant – they're so friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with old mates.
  • It's got that classic 'Olde Worlde' charm with a great beer garden, perfect for enjoying a pint outdoors when the weather plays ball.

  • With an overall excellent rating, it's clear folks love the warm atmosphere and the quality beers on offer.
Areas for Improvement
  • It appears to focus mainly on drinks rather than a full menu, so if you're after a hearty meal, you might find yourself a bit peckish.
  • The operating hours can vary a tad, with some days closing earlier than you'd expect, which might cut short an evening session.

Juniper Lounge is a charming little bar in Hartlepool with cracking cocktails, a warm vibe, and top-notch service that keeps folks coming back.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – they're friendly, welcoming, and really make you feel at home right from the start.

  • Table service is a nice bonus, especially if you're settling in for the night with a group.
Areas for Improvement
  • It only opens four days a week, which might make it tricky to pop in on a whim, especially if you're after a midweek drink.
  • The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent or unclear from what's listed, so you might need to double-check before heading over.
  • There haven't been many recent reviews, which could mean things have quietened down a bit lately, or it's just flying under the radar.
  • While they do pizzas and cheese boards, it doesn't sound like there's a huge food menu, so it might not be the place for a full meal.

Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit pricey for what you're getting, especially if you're expecting the play area to be complimentary with your meal.

  • There's no website or much online info, which makes it tricky to check what's on or get updates before heading over.

Bar Central in Hartlepool is a welcoming spot with friendly vibes and tasty food, boasting a strong rating, but it has a few niggles like limited veggie picks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel welcome and nothing's too much trouble.

Areas for Improvement

  • Occasional issues with food preparation, like chips that might be undercooked or overcooked, can put a dampener on things.
  • It feels more like a cafe-bar hybrid than a full-on pub, so if you're after a lively drinking scene, it might not quite deliver.

Hartlepool Smallcrafts is a welcoming social club with friendly staff, affordable drinks, and a relaxed vibe, ideal for a laid-back night with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and always welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced with a solid selection, like that tasty Camerons Strongarm on tap – perfect for a casual catch-up.
  • It's a cosy little spot where you can actually have a proper chat without the music overwhelming everything, which is a nice change.
  • They've got great music and karaoke nights that really get the atmosphere buzzing for a fun evening out.
  • You can hire the place for private parties, which is brilliant if you're planning something special with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit limited, typically from 2 PM to 10 PM and only five days a week, so it might not suit spontaneous plans.
  • There's no website listed, which makes it tricky to check details or the schedule online – you'd probably need to give them a ring.
  • The timetable seems a tad confusing with overlapping entries, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any disappointments.

The Causeway in Hartlepool is a proper gem of a pub – warm, welcoming, and with a fantastic beer garden that makes it ideal for a relaxed pint with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly, welcoming, and ready to make you feel right at home, just like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • It's got a cracking beer garden with a covered area, perfect for enjoying a pint in the fresh air when the weather plays along.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with a relaxed vibe, great tunes, and a variety of drinks including some top-notch ales that keep things interesting.
  • They've got regular events and offers, making it a lively spot for a catch-up or a bit of fun without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the ales might be an acquired taste, so if you're not keen on stronger brews, you might want to stick to the more familiar options.
  • Food doesn't seem to be a big focus here, with one mention of not eating, so it might not be the go-to place if you're after a full meal with your drinks.
  • With a moderate price level, it can add up if you're planning a long session, especially if you're treating a group.

Premier Inn Hartlepool Marina is a welcoming spot with friendly vibes, great views, and a handy location, though the firm beds might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and ready to help with a smile, making you feel right at home.
  • Rooms are clean and comfy, with stunning views of the marina that really make your stay special.
  • It's in a top spot, just a short walk from the town centre and attractions, perfect for exploring without the hassle.
  • Parking is straightforward and reasonably priced, which is a real bonus if you're driving.
  • Breakfast is reliable and straightforward, just what you'd expect from a solid chain hotel to start your day off right.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the beds have turned out to be quite firm, which might leave you tossing and turning if you're used to something softer.
  • There can be occasional delays in service due to staffing levels, so it might not always be as quick as you'd hope.
  • As it's more of a hotel setup, it doesn't have that buzzing pub vibe, so if you're after lively entertainment, it could feel a bit quiet.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – friendly, attentive, and really helpful, like when they handle things such as dairy allergies with ease.
  • The food is top-notch, with superb flavours, generous portions, and even special deals like the Prix Fix menu that make it great value for money.
  • It's got a lovely vibe, especially in that pleasant marina spot, with a snug outdoor area kept warm by heaters, perfect for a relaxed evening.
  • Drinks are spot on too, with a cracking cocktail offer and a menu that feels homemade rather than mass-produced.
  • Overall, it's a welcoming place with high ratings, so you're likely in for a treat if you pop in.
Areas for Improvement
  • There's no website listed, which makes it a bit of a faff to check out menus or book in advance.
  • The operating hours seem a tad inconsistent from the listings, and it's closed one day a week, so you might need to plan around that.
  • While it's brilliant for meals, as a bar it might not stand out as much if you're just after a quiet pint without the food focus.

Park Inn Hartlepool is a charming local spot with a friendly vibe for drinks and live events, but watch out for the noise and occasional crowds.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and community-oriented, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint.
  • They've got a great selection of drinks with unbeatable offers, especially the weekday deals and cheap beer prices like John Smith's.
  • Live events such as karaoke, big band sessions, and sports like football and rugby add a lively buzz to the place.
  • Parking is available, which makes it convenient for popping in after a drive.
  • It's a traditional pub that's open seven days a week with consistent hours, so you can always rely on it for a good time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The karaoke can get overwhelmingly loud, making it tough for those who are hard of hearing or just want a quiet chat.
  • Service can be a bit of a struggle when it's busy, like during events, so you might end up waiting longer than you'd like.
  • Parking fines have been an issue for some, even when it's meant to be free, which puts a damper on the experience.
  • The crowd can sometimes get rowdy with younger folks, leading to a less relaxed vibe and potentially scaring off regulars.
  • Drink options are a bit limited, mostly sticking to a few beers, so if you're after variety, you might be disappointed.

Three Brass Monkeys is a lively, budget-friendly pub in Hartlepool that's spot-on for sports fans and cheap drinks, but it can have a rowdy vibe that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons

  • The drinks are really affordable, making it a top spot for a budget-friendly night out without emptying your wallet.
  • It's a clean and well-furnished pub with a fresh, open-plan layout that feels welcoming after their recent refurbishment.

  • A great variety of drinks on offer, from cask ales and draught lagers to gins, rums, and even cocktails to suit different tastes.
Areas for Improvement
  • Karaoke nights are a bit of a letdown – some say it's the worst they've experienced, which could put a dampener on things.
  • The staff can come across as unfriendly or on a power trip, which might make your visit less enjoyable than it should be.
  • The atmosphere can get quite rough at times, with reports of unsavoury characters and a less-than-ideal crowd hanging about.
  • Music's often blaring so loud that it's tough to have a proper chat with your mates, turning a relaxed evening into a headache.
  • There seem to be some inconsistent rules, like with allowing dogs in, which has left a few folks feeling frustrated.

Jacksons Wharf is a charming pub in Hartlepool with fabulous marina views and a family-friendly vibe, but it's let down by occasional service slip-ups and inconsistent food quality.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The views are absolutely stunning, right on Hartlepool Marina with a perfect backdrop of HMS Trincomalee – it's like eating with a bit of history on display, making it a real treat for a relaxed meal or drink.
  • It's a family-friendly spot with a large outdoor patio, great for soaking up the sun and enjoying the sea breeze, plus they've got events like pub quizzes and special offers that keep things lively.
  • The food menu has some solid pub classics and lighter bites, with options like cask ales from Marston's breweries – and who can resist a good deal like 30% off mains?
  • When the staff are on form, they're genuinely friendly and helpful, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming and personal.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be inconsistent; some folks have had issues with cold food, missing items on their plates, or having to chase down drinks and cutlery, which puts a bit of a dampener on things.
  • A few reviews mention uninterested staff who seem a bit lazy, like not paying full attention, which might leave you feeling overlooked on a busy day.
  • The food quality varies – for instance, steaks coming out dry or eggs being too runny, so it's not always hitting the mark despite the tempting menu.
  • It might feel a tad out of the way if you're not local, making it less ideal for a quick pub crawl, though the views make up for it if you're up for the trip.

4.1(1685 reviews)
82/100
The Ward Jackson is a reliable Wetherspoons in Hartlepool – affordable, centrally located, and friendly, but watch out for queues and accessibility snags.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's got a fantastic location right in the heart of Hartlepool, just by the church and town centre, making it super convenient for a quick meet-up or a wander around.
  • The staff are always friendly and efficient, which makes popping in for a drink or a meal feel welcoming and hassle-free.
  • You get brilliant value for money with their drinks and pub grub – it's a classic Wetherspoons spot where you won't break the bank.
  • There's plenty of space inside and a nice, spacious beer garden, perfect for groups or just relaxing with a pint on a sunny day.
Areas for Improvement
  • Queues can be a real pain, like with the coffee machine where you might wait ages and even find it's out of milk, which puts a dampener on things.
  • Accessibility isn't great, with the gents' facilities up several flights of stairs, which could be tough if you've got mobility issues.
  • The app's a bit of a nuisance to use, so if you're not keen on tech, you'll probably end up ordering the old-fashioned way at the bar.
  • It can feel a tad unreliable at times, with mentions of past incidents that might make you think twice about the atmosphere on busier nights.

82/100
Old West Quay Brewers Fayre is a welcoming family spot in Hartlepool, serving up solid grub and cheerful service, ideal for a relaxed day out, though the drinks menu could use a bit more variety.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel welcome and well looked after.
  • The food is delicious and offers great value, with tasty options like the carvery, fish and chips, and new lunch dishes starting from just £5.
  • It's super family-friendly, boasting an indoor soft play area that's perfect for keeping the kids entertained while you relax.
  • You might get a lovely view of the marina from a window seat, adding a nice touch to your meal.
  • Even when it's busy, the service remains efficient and the team handles things with a smile.
Areas for Improvement
  • The beer selection is a bit limited, which could disappoint if you're after a wide range of ales.
  • It can get quite busy at times, potentially leading to waits, even though the staff do their best.
  • As a chain pub, it doesn't have that unique, local vibe – it's more straightforward and reliable than anything special.

The Gillens Central United Club is a lovely little local in Hartlepool with a warm, welcoming feel, though it has a couple of quirks that might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's a cracking spot for a pint with the locals, with a good vibe that's perfect for casual chats and relaxation.
  • The overall rating is spot on, reflecting a solid reputation for being a pleasant place to unwind.
Areas for Improvement
  • The snooker room and bar are all in one space, which can feel a bit cramped if you're after a quiet game.
  • Parking's a bit of a hassle with no proper car park, so you might end up hunting for a spot on the street.

Rat Race Ale House

4.1(81 reviews)
81/100
Rat Race Ale House is a charming little micropub at Hartlepool Railway Station, where the real ales shine and the quirky vibe makes for a fun, friendly pit stop – though it's best for those who love a good chat over a pint in a snug space.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of real ales, ciders, and even some top-notch Belgian brews – it's a real treat for anyone who appreciates a proper pint.
  • The atmosphere is quirky and full of personality, with fun signs and wall coverings that make you smile and spark great conversations – it's like stepping into a cosy, no-fuss hideaway.
  • The staff, especially the landlord, are incredibly friendly and chatty, always up for a natter and sharing their knowledge, which makes every visit feel welcoming and relaxed.
  • It's got that authentic, straightforward vibe that's hard to find these days – perfect for a quick stop or a laid-back catch-up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The place is quite small with limited seating, so it can fill up quickly and might not be ideal if you're after a spacious spot for a larger group.
  • Opening hours are a bit unpredictable, with closures on Sundays and Mondays, and even some extended breaks like holidays, which could leave you out in the cold if you fancy a visit.
  • No dogs allowed, which is a shame if you're out with your furry friend, as it might put off some folk who like to bring their pets along.
  • It's strictly no lager and very focused on ales, so if you're not into that scene, you might find the options a tad limited for your tastes.

The Clarendon's a proper traditional pub in Hartlepool that's all about great value drinks, a warm atmosphere, and fun nights with karaoke and pool – it's a hidden gem for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The drinks are incredibly affordable, like getting a pint of Guinness for just £3.50, which makes it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly night out.
  • It's got that lovely traditional pub atmosphere, full of nostalgia and a welcoming vibe that feels like stepping back to the good old days.
  • Friendly staff and entertainment options like karaoke on Saturdays and pool tables add to the fun, making it a great place for a singalong or a casual game.
  • Excellent value for money overall, with customers raving about the prices and the overall experience that keeps you coming back.
Areas for Improvement
  • It might feel a bit outdated for those after a more modern pub experience, as it's all about that old-school charm which isn't everyone's cup of tea.
  • With no website or online presence, it's a bit tricky to get the latest info or check things out before heading over, which could be a minor hassle.

Hillcarter Bar and Kitchen is a welcoming pub in Hartlepool with a lively atmosphere and top-notch staff, making it a great choice for a relaxed evening, though watch out for the occasional off beer.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing and really makes for a memorable night out, perfect for enjoying a good laugh with mates.
  • Friendly staff who make you feel welcome right from the get-go, always ready with a smile and helpful advice.
  • Great selection of drinks and some cracking food options that hit the spot every time.
  • It's a solid spot for special occasions, like a gender reveal, where the vibe just adds to the fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • One person mentioned the beer didn't taste quite right, which is a bit of a downer if you're after a proper pint.
  • It can feel a tad quiet at times, as noted in a review, so it might not always have that lively crowd you're hoping for.
  • With only a handful of reviews, it seems like it hasn't quite built up a big following yet, which could mean missing out on some hidden gems or surprises.

Vibes is a solid sports bar in Hartlepool with warm staff, a great buzz, and plenty of drink choices, but it could use clearer info and a bit more online visibility to shine even brighter.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – always friendly and helpful, like Scott and Chloe who make you feel right at home.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with a lively vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates or enjoying a singer on stage.
  • They've got a cracking selection of drinks, including loads of rums, gins, and tasty drafts like Blue Moon, plus great cocktail advice if you're undecided.
  • It's open seven days a week, so you can pop in whenever the mood strikes, and it's buzzing with energy that keeps things fun.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours seem a bit confusing with those repeated Sunday listings and a typical closing time that doesn't quite add up, which might leave you guessing when to drop by.
  • No website means it's tricky to check out menus or events online, so you might have to just turn up and see what's on offer.
  • With only 93 reviews in total, it doesn't seem to be the most talked-about spot yet, which could make it feel a tad under the radar for newcomers.
  • Being out on the marina, it might not be the easiest place to get to without a taxi, as one review mentioned.

The Royal is a lively Hartlepool gem with affordable drinks and a welcoming crowd, but it's got its fair share of rough patches that keep it feeling endearingly unpretentious.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The karaoke nights are always buzzing and create a really fun, engaging atmosphere that gets everyone involved.
  • You'll find the locals incredibly welcoming, making it easy to feel right at home from the get-go.
  • Drinks are super affordable, which is brilliant for a casual night out without emptying your wallet.
  • The place has a charming rustic feel with loads of historical artefacts dotted around, adding a bit of character and history to your visit.
  • It stays open late, perfect for carrying on the evening after other spots have shut up shop.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit of a dive in places, with scruffy seats that aren't exactly inviting for a comfy sit-down.
  • Hygiene isn't always top-notch – I've heard tales of mess in the ladies' toilets, which might spoil the fun.
  • If karaoke isn't your thing, the vibe might come across as a tad overwhelming or not quite your cup of tea.
  • Overall, it's got that rough-around-the-edges quality that could put off anyone after something a bit more polished.

JP’s Bar in Hartlepool is a cosy little spot with a warm welcome from the owner and affordable drinks, though it lacks solid info online.
Pros and Cons

  • The owner, JP, is an absolute gem – he's friendly, welcoming, and really makes you feel at home, like chatting with an old mate.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, so you can enjoy a proper night out without worrying about the wallet getting too light.
  • They let you pick the music, which adds a fun, personal touch and makes the atmosphere feel just right for a relaxed evening.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a few reviews to go on, it's hard to get a full picture of what it's like on a regular basis.
  • No operating hours are listed, which could mean you pop by and find it shut, making it a bit of a gamble.
  • The bar's online presence is pretty sparse – no website or verified details, so it's not the easiest place to learn more about before visiting.

1908 Sports Bar is a solid pick for an affordable drink any time, but it falls short on service and could do with a bit more polish to stand out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's open around the clock, which is brilliant if you're after a pint at any hour of the day or night.

  • The food options underneath, like that curry, sound spot on from what some folks have said – a nice bonus if you're feeling peckish.
Areas for Improvement

  • It's not quite up to scratch compared to other local spots, where you might find better value or a more welcoming vibe.
  • There have been grumbles about things like allowing vaping at the bar, which doesn't make for the most pleasant atmosphere.

The service is poor, staff spend more time in the back room chatting or looking at their phones than they do in the bar looking after customers. They also allow people they know to vape at the bar!

Great place to come for an cheap beer and watch people wait for the job centre to open.

Some improvements but needs to up its game with the King John across the square with better beers at half the price? Something about the clientele in here tells me having a beer/alcohol is not their f...

The Showroom is a stylish nightclub in Hartlepool with a charming atmosphere and friendly vibes when it's on form, but it's let down by occasional lapses in service and safety concerns.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The bar staff can be incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to give you tips on making the most of your night out in Hartlepool.
  • The interior is absolutely gorgeous, with a classy design that makes it feel like the poshest spot in town – think nice poles, a VIP section, and a welcoming atmosphere.
  • They've got a decent range of drinks at prices that won't break the bank, plus an outdoor area for a quick smoke or fresh air break.
  • The cocktails are a real highlight, tasting spot on and adding to the fun vibe when things are going well.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some worrying safety issues, like reports of attempted assaults outside and unhelpful door staff, which could put a damper on your evening.
  • Some of the bar team seem more interested in their phones than serving you, which can make for frustrating waits and poor customer service.
  • The floors can get sticky, which isn't ideal when you're trying to enjoy a night out without feeling like you're trudging through something unpleasant.
  • Recent experiences haven't been great, with a dip in quality that might leave you wondering if it's still worth the visit.

Gorgeous bar but, girls behind the bar thought their mobile phones more important than customer service.

The Intro is a cracking little bar in Hartlepool that's all about that warm welcome and brilliant service, though it's still a bit under the radar with just a few reviews.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home with their warm and welcoming vibes, especially for the queer community.
  • The food and customer service are top-notch, with folks raving about how helpful and excellent everything is.
  • It's got a perfect 5-star rating from the reviews we've seen, which speaks volumes about the positive experiences people are having.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a couple of reviews out there, it's a bit tricky to get a full sense of what it's like for more folks.
  • No website listed, so you might have to rely on word of mouth or a quick search to find out more before heading over.
  • It's only open five days a week, which means you'll need to check the schedule to make sure it fits your plans.

The Lodge Bar in Hartlepool is a welcoming spot for a pint and a chat, with a lively atmosphere and decent drinks, but watch out for the dodgy facilities.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is spot on – full of friendly locals who make you feel welcome, just like popping in for a chat with mates.
  • They've got a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices, perfect for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
  • It's a fun place with banging tunes and a lively vibe, especially on weekends when you can have a dance and enjoy the music.
  • The bar staff are top-notch, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone has a good time.
Areas for Improvement
  • The men's toilets are in a right state – no privacy, no soap or hand dryer, and the walls look shocking, which puts a bit of a dampener on things.
  • It's only open from 8 PM till 2 AM, so if you're after an early pint, you might be out of luck.
  • There's not much online info, like no website, which makes it tricky to check out the details before heading over.
  • Recent feedback shows a mixed bag, with one recent review being quite negative, suggesting things might not be as consistent as they'd like.

The men's toilets are shocking. It's got 1 toilet with no cupical/ wall to separate and 1 standing toilet right next to it. It's got no hand dryer and soap. Mirror isn't necessary but didn't have one...

Loons is a lively little pub in Hartlepool with a buzzing atmosphere and wallet-friendly drinks, but it's got its rough edges with inconsistent service.

Areas for Improvement

The Bubble and Bottle is a charming modern pub in Hartlepool that's spot-on for casual meet-ups or special events, with friendly vibes and good value, though it could do with more options for non-drinkers.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a lovely, modern bar with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
  • The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile to make your visit smooth and enjoyable.
  • It's brilliant for hosting events like parties or baby showers – the space is spacious, well-decorated, and they accommodate your needs nicely.
  • Prices are reasonable, with affordable drinks and food options that won't break the bank.
  • There's a free pool table and fun extras like karaoke, which add a great touch for a lively night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The selection of alcohol-free drinks is a bit limited, so if you're driving or not drinking, you might not have many choices.
  • Staff aren't able to tweak cocktails to remove the alcohol, which could be a letdown for those wanting custom non-alcoholic versions.
  • It's only open a few days a week, so you'll need to plan ahead and check the schedule to avoid disappointment.

Nice modern bar. Unfortunately not a lot of choice of alcohol free drinks and staff are unable to change cocktails to remove the alcohol

Was a great set up for a baby shower, lovely decor and layout and they were very accommodating for how we wanted to lay things out and do things.
