The once Old Co-0p Ale House is a welcoming micro pub in the heart of Darton, on the edge of the real ale corridor, this pub situated in a former Co-op building, now extensively refurbished into a large open bar with exposed stonework of the building with a wood burning fire. During the Covid lockdowns the outside was created into a drinking area. The bar serves four cask beers (three regulars from Nailmaker and a changing beer) and a line of craft keg beers. Very dog friendly. This pub prides itself on the art of conversation. Tuesday night is quiz night.
