ORB Micropub
Located in the heart of Darlington, the Orchard Road Brewery, fondly known as ORB, is a traditional micropub that was once a beauty salon. It has the distinction of being the first micropub in the area. ORB is a haven for those who appreciate quality beverages, offering an impressive selection of local real ales, craft beers, and single malt whisky. The pub is a refreshing departure from the norm, with no televisions or loud music to distract from the relaxed atmosphere. Instead, it encourages patrons to unwind and engage in meaningful conversations. The staff at ORB are not only friendly but also well-versed in their offerings, ready to guide you through their extensive menu. The micropub boasts seven local real ales, ten craft ales, and two real ciders, all sourced from the finest local breweries. Their commitment to quality and a unique pub experience has not gone unnoticed. In 2018, ORB was honored as the Town Pub of the Year and the Overall Pub of the Year. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or simply looking for a tranquil spot to enjoy a drink, ORB offers a distinctive and enjoyable experience.
