The Old Yard Tapas Bar, Darlington

Tapas Bar – Spanish & Greek tapas bar in Darlington

Established in 1995 and set in The Old Yard, Tapas Bar blends the vibrant spirit of Spain with the relaxed charm of Greece across a lively menu of tapas, meze and gyros, backed by handcrafted cocktails, live music and live sports. Reviews consistently praise the pulled beef with cheese and the croquettes, and portions are generous enough that leftovers are a regular theme.

The draw: the genuine cultural fusion menu, a proper party atmosphere with live music events, and a loyal following willing to travel a fair distance for it.
