Eden - County Durham

Reasonably had a leach leading to a unpleasant damp smell. Needs some money spent on it.

May be a cheap pint, but expect drug abuse in the toilet, seems to be the norm or maybe I picked a bad night. Bar Staff are great however and the beer is good just don't leave your drink unattended.

If you want to have a dance after a night in a local working man's club, this is the place to be. Particularly if you enjoy music such as cotton eye Joe, flip and fill.. Its a versatile bunch of tunes to suit most over 50's. The owners are keen to keep you in as long as possible and seem to have applied extra stick to their already sticky flooring. Good price for drinks though.

To be fair I was on a bar crawl with workmates on 'Mad Friday ' so the review is probably not of a normal Friday. Inside carpet was sticky yeurccch! Outside decking was lethally slippery. However staff were quick to get folk served in the right order, prices were exceptionally reasonable and there was no trouble despite it being just before Christmas and everyone full of festive spirit, beer and wine!! It 's clearly an honest place Id rather pay a fair price like they charge here than an inflated price where they 've got to recoup their costs on a new carpet!!! It 's a fun place, great atmosphere but its not dripping with luxury and this IS a compliment!

Wouldn't have given the one star if able. Probably the dirtiest pub I've ever been in. Even the infamous Royal Arms in same town was never that bad.
