Orb, Darlington

Bar to left on entering. We were seated at the dingy rear to start with but progressed to an outside table. Six cask & ten keg. Not a bad place at all.

Visited this microbar on 20 July and enjoyed Saints Row Window Shopper and First Brew Thirst porn from this busy friendly pub.

Micro on two floor levels; the business bit at the front is in a small ex-shop space, behind is a tall stool laden area with two shelves and a cask as table plus a couple of low seating areas. Staff not exactly on the ball, probably not used to the licensed trade in any form apart from the guy I supposed to be the landlord who struggled manfully. It has six pulls and a nice selection of Scotch single malts as well. Unusually for a micro it has conventional toilets.
