Blue Scrumpy left this review about Engine Room

This bar is part of the former fire station. The bar is to the right as you enter. Inside is quite a modern affair with a central bar and I seem to recall an open kitchen. There is a podium as you enter, presumably to be allocated a table for dining. With all tables taken, we elected to take an outdoor table in the large public square to the front. A food truck was located here but was not in use on a Monday night in November.

Just a couple of cask ales are on offer. For our visit, these were Allendale Pennine Pale & Anarchy Blonde Star. Keg beers included Brixton Atlantic, Beavertown Neck Oil, Tiny Rebel Clwb Tropica & Maxim Samson Smooth.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Engine Room

A good sized venue, which could have easily housed four Fire Engines. This place was absolutely packed when we were passing, so popped back later when all the customers had gone off to the nearby Theatre. The interior was very impressive with a lot of the fire stations original fixtures retained. Only two handpumps now compared to my fellow reviewers below, Mitchell and Butler Brew X1 and Allendale Pennine Pale.

Old Boots left this review about Engine Room

Part of a complex of restaurants, galleries, performance spaces etc, the Engine Room is still obviously a old fire station retaining white tiled walls and some original woodwork. The central horseshoe counter has 8 pulls with a mix of local and national beers plus the usual keg catalogue. Service was spot on but the beer a bit tired. Partly a dining area so family friendly and furnished as such. A few fireman related bits and bobs as decor.
