Busy place with bar to the right. Loads of tables and TVs. No cask - just keg.

Was intending on calling in for a drink while in Darlington the other day. After fighting my way past the smokers in the doorway (and noticing the big sign telling people not to smoke in the doorway) I made my way to the bar to find four hand pulls, two of which were off and the remainder offering Eagle IPA and Hobgoblin Gold. I decided I must be able to find something better than this in Darlington so didn't bother staying for a drink.

Graham Coombs has commented below that the pub was entirely populated with old blokes - I think the reason for this could be explained by the fact that the pub doesn't allow kids in and seemingly doesn't do food, so that would limit its appeal to a more diverse clientele base. I'd also agree with the comment by Old Boots, a pub with "Tap" in the name conjures up an image of a pub boasting several interesting ales, which was sadly far from the case.

Overall it's a bit of a strange one this, from the outside it looks like a modern Wetherspoons offering, yet once inside there is much less going for it.

A modern lounge bar in the town centre, strangely entirely populated by old blokes. A couple of TVs and a dartboard provide entertainment, also with signs advertising live music and karaoke. A bank of 4 handpumps had only one in use, with another reversed, but was at least offering something interesting in Cheadle New Zealand Pale Ale, hopefully intended to be hazy but tasting ok. Didn't especially feel at home here.
