  • THE PARK END
  • stay outta the park hotel and the red rose. both are overpriced shitholes that should be burned down for taking the piss outta the working class.new owners that are greedy fucks who want to con you for every cent and give low quality service in return.
  • BLUE LOUNGE ON LINTHORPE ROAD NEXT TO JOE RIGS. HAD SOME GREAT NIGHT IN THERE 2 FOR 1 COCKTAILS BOUT 3.50 CANT GO WRONG MINT BAR
  • Hogs head, Crownnnn.
  • THE CLEVELAND PUB ON LINTHORPE ROAD IN MIDDLESBROUGH IS LIKE ONE OF THOSE PUBS YOU USED TO HAVE YEARS AGO.ITS A BIT RUN DOWN BUT THE STAFF ARE GREAT REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME .WHERE CAN YOU GET A 8OZ STEAK WITH ALL THE TRIMMNGS FOR 3.49 THESE DAYS THE BOSS IS A CHEEKY CHAPPY WHO SEEMS TO APPRECIATE HIS EMPLOYEES JUDGEGING BY THE LAUGH THAT WAS COMING FROM BEHIND THE BAR.IT AS THE FIRST TIME I HAD BEEN IN IN TWELVE YEARS AND IT AS NO DIFRENT ALL IN ALL A VERY PLEASENT TIME I HAD
  • CHOUSE N EMPIRE R MINT
  • cant believe no-one has mentioned The Captain Cook on a sunday night, the place is absolutely buzzing. great music, cheap drinks, karaoke and sexy barmaids :-)
  • Whoh, Pubs, A crap load of pubs in middlesbrough, and usally anybody can get served!
  • SOUTHERN CROSS BEST IN MARTON
  • Yate's.-
  • myton in ingleby overpriced managment sucks
  • corner house, FLARES!
  • cant belive people ov boro would let the temple on linthorpe road go 2 the f***ing state its in now1 whats going on???
  • Lloys on a Saturday for your dinner & a few bottles of wine with the girls is good!! Gets ya ready for a Saturday night out in the town!
  • Coranation
  • The Cleveland on Linthorpe road is a good pub to go to, Full of decent people and the Manager's sound.
  • tall trees deffo the place to be
  • Coronation for the regulas, master cooper over the road for the ayeinebrau strong beer that got u smashed. everyone likes the camels hump but i aint a fan, isaacs is cheap as as well
  • the coronation. corra reds on tour!
  • the linfield farm up eh lingy does cheryl still work there
  • Scruffys on Bedford St - nice atmos, cheap cheap beer and friendly punters. Pied Piper on ormesby bank - a bit "council" but cheap and friendly
  • mainly avoid localised pubs and stick in the town centre. otherwise a non-teesside accent will get you into trouble. the locals like to point out you 'aren't from around here!'
  • every pub in boro serves kids
  • THE ACKLAM PUB IS A GOOD LAFF, ITS GOT SOME INTERESTING SAD OLD FACES LYING IN THERE OWN VOMIT AND EYEING UP THE MALE BAR STAFF.
  • Aggie and her mate would certainly have a challenge with the White Rose on Marton Road Middlesbrough. It must be the dirtiest pub in town. The "ladies" toilets are disgusting.
  • Wall to Wall 'Theme Pubs' in town centre now - for a decent pint I'd recommend Zetland, Princess Alice or Issac Wilson For a decent fight you can't beat Dalziels or whatever De Niro's is called these days
  • Trendy place with Upfront tunes but Absolute, is full of the wannabe beautiful crowd and a few genuine babes. The Isaac Wilson is a J D Wetherspoon pub so there for a few cheapies first, but with not even a jukebox for musical background, we soon usually end up hitting some of the livelier bars, and like most towns just try to avoid the places the wankers are heading.
  • annies bar first floor linthope rd
  • the dickens! trendy as u can get and amazing in the summer, great outside terrace. great totty, plays funky house, does student discount. The crown! great atmosphere, same old faces. cheap offers, student discount, plays everything, busy EVERY NIGHT!!
  • Issacs IS the BEST pub in teh worl EVER EVER EVER!!!! Although a strange new discovery that the Camels hump, round the back of Rileys is not at all that bad, infact its quite good. Cheap drinks hmmmmmmmmm.
  • LLoyds is gud if u wanna have a drink during the day. (alco)
  • The Crown was my home from home through my Univrsity years, but it sucks big time now. All the bar staff were my mates and I knew three of the DJ's but they're all strangers now. And one barman is a prat! The southfield is a regular haunt on southfield road but its a student pub. The cornerhose is really nice, as is the Purple Onion. They've got a Yates's and a Hogs Head and pints over a pound keeps the students out. So try those. BTW The Dickens is way overrated, its a cattle mart of weekends, prices are extortion and the clientel are predominantly wankers!
  • don't go into town centre to many FRESH FACES and i'm only 19. southfleid road a much crowd and you'll strugle to hear classics from flip flip, scooter and the new boys in town ultra beat
  • the hoggs head,bierex(alobert road)dr browns.
  • THE LINNY IS WICKED SO IS ISACS AND LLOYDS. BUT THE BEST PUB IN THE BORO HAS GOTTA BE DR BROWNS ESPECIALLY ON A MATCH DAY WEN A BAND R PLAYING AND THE BORO WON
  • Middlesbrough must possess the most drunken women (Wimmin)in the UK although pretty and fashionable enough watch how they deteriorate from 7pm-2am on a Saturday nite to such an extent that they possess not a shred of dignity nor alure by closing time. Horrible!Stay Away!
  • a pubs a pub i have visited them all a few too many times!! some less than others (exchanges) sticky floor ew!
  • Lloyds bar, yum food and cheap drinks offers, Boro centre.
  • The Camels Hump is great for chilling out and catching up with friends - food is good, prices are ok, and the coctail menu will give a good start to any night out!!
  • I could go all day, Inn off the park, The Cleveland, Isac Wilsons
  • Go to in off the park some pool tables and plenty of snooker tables.
  • the brunton arms is an untapped resource with the strongest and cheapest pints in middlesbrough (fact) a pint on prinz and you want to kill the walls
  • haha the hairy lemon what a fukin dump
  • The pubs around the A66 flyover, seem to be stuck in a 70's music time warp and the people and pub layout are stuck in an 80's time warp. Plenty of "Bud" drinkers and sunbed faces can be seen. You may even see you mother in a short skirt here! Watch out for those divorcee man-eaters
  • hi there,rumpoles in the cleveland centre closed years ago.still a chinese on beaumont rd but not owned by john anymore ,still good grub.wee willie aka ,the evesham hotel was closed after drugs squad raided it ,up for sale now.the old mint is now the ayresome park with footy on telly every night and memorabilia all over the place,good pub.im boro born and bred so ill keep you updated ok ,there is a great new pub ,used to be the odeon called jumpin jacks,good booze deals and good entertainment,real fun pub ,the bar staff get up and dance on bars and on stage
  • The coulby farm but more for their cheap food!!I love lloyds!!excellent!!!!
  • avoid anything near the uni as they are full of stuck up students who cant wipe there ars* clean
  • MY arse ffresh faced crowd you been in flares ????? eh god its school reunion night (before youve left school)
  • Mourn the loss of Rumpoles ladies and gentlemen, Doctor Browns is a poor substitute, but tries hard.
  • Dickens, Union thats all everywere else u go to die.,
  • Dickens Inn! Quality pub
  • Camels Hump and the Southfield, best jukeboxes I've ever come accross
  • best or full of student blonkers
  • Go to the Issacs, no dance music cheep drinks and beloved curry club..
  • roseberry, oh no, shut down. been open about 8 times under new management
  • the Brunton Arms is a good pub, beers spot on and the lager just a shame about the manager{dark cloud}what a sour faced twat
  • Cassidy's Bar - A great place where a lot of men like to go, especially if they are on the look out for another man! If you're a person who is against gays I wouldn't hang about there on a night, people are sure to see two men having sex, which quite frankly isnt a very nice thing to look at!
  • Southfield Road is the best place to be either day or night. Students beware later on though as they are definitely a target for muggers
  • The courtyard is ok with a couple of pool tables and a karaoke on a thursday try it...
  • the rat and parrot
  • No pub will ever match The Empire, which became the Hogshead, the Tavern and is now The House. RIP.
  • There is only one Pub in the Town for me. The Brambles Farm Hotel. It hasn't changed in twenty five years, same decor, same customers, same 80 bob. Had a few bosses come and go but still keeps going. Had me 1st pint there, me 1st fight there and well you can guess the rest.
  • Best pub in Middlesbrough is The Zetland opposite the railway station. Great manager, lively music and interesting regulars.
  • Isaac Wilson - Cheap Beer Middlebeck - Ayeingerbrau(ask for a pint of Ordinary) £1.35 per pint. It's the best lager I've tasted anywhere, even better than Stella. It really will blow you away.
  • barzantia top pup
  • The Pathfinders pub in maltby, a quality country pub, nice food, great service good night altogether!!!
  • The Star and Garter - Southfield Road. Sruffy Murphies - Bedford Street
  • Royal Ex
  • Doc Browns near the UGC cinema is the epitome of the perfect pub. An excellent local with great guest beers, a real fire and friendly service. Close enough to the town to be a good starting point, it is always lively but never rowdy. Attracts a varied clientele from tired office workers to (not so tired) students, and locals, as well as football fans on match days.A great place for an after work pint on a Friday.
  • The Dev if you behave yourself
  • bar zantia, bierrex, spensleys, dickens, camels hump, ts one, all good
  • THE BEST EVER BAR IV BEEN IN WAS FLARES IN THE BORO GREAT FUN THE DJ IS GOOD THE BEST EVER .VERY BLUE THO AT TIMES .HE WILL HAMMER YOU IF YOU ASK FOR IT C ROCK TUESDAY .CORNER HOUSE .
  • Scruffy Murphys, The Isaac Wilson
  • The Linthorpe is a great pub, constantly being revamped but attracting the same laid back crowd
  • ...the house, Linthorpe Road. Formerly The Tavern. Yet again another name change and a whole new refurb. Great student friendly pub. Good fun and plenty of totty!!
  • Rumpoles in the Cleveland Centre. Rock night every Wednesday, buy one pint of John Smith's and get another free ..... Had some serious hangovers from that place. Live music too.
  • the southfield , cornerhouse, the dickens
  • yello rose
  • The Endeavour in Acklam is the only pub in the world
  • FARK, PUBS? THERE ARE SOME GOOD ONES, THE CAMELS HUMP FOR ALL YOU UNI GOERS, HOT SHOTS POOL PLACE AND THE HOTEL ITS ATTACHED TO, ERM.
  • Norman Conquest is a good local. In town the Dickens Inn always stands the test of time. Also, the House, the Cornerhouse and the cellar bar are good pubs
  • Chicago rock cafe is a trendy chic meeting spot on Wilson Street . Issac Newton , Flares , Huxters , hogshead , The Hairy Lemon , The Marquis , Dr Browns (the best meeting point in Middlesbrough!) ,
  • dickens inn gets packed almost too packed so if ur looking for people thats the place but if ur looking for a drink u might have a little wait
  • Camels Hump - No bother, no fuss, put some tunes on the jukebox and put the world to rights.
  • The Jack and Jill a good place to meet new faces as well as the locals it also shows live sport
  • The Wee Willy now known as 'the eversham'
  • thanx for the good write up ..ie im the dj from flares ...the mad one however we have a new bar in the boro called planet yummyumm...the old huxters site ..give it a try....
  • Barzantia & Bar Fresco... The two best places in town easily... If you like it busy, crowded and stylish with lots of relaxed house music...
  • The Coronation at Acklam is full of friendly faces and the beer is decent but if you want strong lager with is guaranteed to get you p***ed after a pint is the master cooper on Acklam Rd the lager is german i think and very strong...trust me!!!
  • The corner house is a gr8 bar it isnt a club but its cool!! On a thursday night its £1 a shot £1 a cocktail all night!!! Bar Fresco is £1.50 for a treble vodka/malibu/archers!! And bottles r buy1 get1 free Only before 9.00!!
  • Flares which is attached to the welly and is great the dj is mad even though he does take the mick with things like "If u easily take offence then fuck off" and is mad all the music is seventies buit does get u going on a thursday its buy one get one free on selected drinks and i have to say even if ur not going clubbing its a great night!
  • Crown converted abc cinima massive on a thursday night on Linthorpe road
  • Yates wine lodge, great Irish booze
  • Doctor Browns (formerly the Malt Shovel) often have good bands on on a friday night
  • The Star and Garter, the Fly and Firkin are nice pubs with good range of beers - both mainly student retreats
  • The Tavern (formerly the Hogshead, formerly the Empire) also has a good range of beers
  • The Old Mint, Bolckows and the Venue are good on a weekend night.
  • Bierrex is a continental style bar which sells about 10 different Belgian trappist beers and various other interesting brews.
  • Cornerhouse Bar under the railway station owned by The Arena. The best in the North.
    The Cornerhouse is most definitely the best pub in Middlesbrough with the exception of O'Dwyers (the Irish pub opposite the bus station). The Cornerhouse does occasionally have some decent college bands playing there such as Helter Skelter while O'Dwyers I remember for getting very drunk on Guinness. Also as the toilet doors state the sex in Irish, it has caused a few laughs to see friends who are male come rushing out off the girl's loos realising the mistake they have just made!
  • The Tavern/Star and Garter/Fly and Firkin/Dickens are all located around the same block and are all decent pubs with a good range of drinks. A bonus is that none of these pubs have any strict dress codes on a weekend, unlike the pubs around the Cleveland Centre area of town.
  • Also Rudds Arms Tuesday nights very popular.
  • Other decent pubs include the Malt Shovel (Corporation Road) near the ODEON CINEMA, and the Tap and Barrell, both serve a range of real ales, some brewed in the town (Try the Flying Herbert). The Malt Shovel is desserted on non-match days, always a seat available, even on Friday Night, real fires etc.
  • The Kings Head at Seamer near Middlesbrough, has a unique collection of brassware and a good athmosphere.
  • One of the best pubs in the Linthorpe Area of Middlesbrough is the Linthorpe; it is kicking every night of the week especially Thursday to Sunday.
  • Grenadier Pub, Acklam: Great pub. Good pool. Big screen TV to watch a boro match. Trivia night is Wednesday with prizes.
  • On Friday and Saturday nights I would recommend most of the pubs in the town. Here is a list of some of the best pubs:
    • The Royal Exchange.
    • The Old Mint.
    • The Venue.
    • The Lord Raglan.
    • Bolcows.
    • The Corner House.
    • Wickers World.
  • The Tap and Spile in Guisborough, just outside Middlesbrough, has a great range of beers, and live music on Wednesdays.
  • Any pub on a Sunday night is going to be full. Everybody is in a good mood, on Sunday, aswell. This is wierd as it is back to work the next day, but that's the Boro for you!
  • The Rudds arms (on Stokesley Road - continue down Marton road past Stewart's Park) A top pub, great food (served 12-6.30 everyday), super staff (the fastest service in Middlesbrough!) Kicking nights: Tuesdays and Fridays - a mixed crowd, occasional theme nights - come in and laugh at the staff wearing MAD 70's clothes and other fancy dress. A refreshing change to the town pubs, big (safe) carpark lots of taxis and buses, try it you might just like it!
  • bar zantia..good pulling pub, on albert rd
