Serves food during the day and is popular with students. Has outside seating so is packed during the summer and is the place to be on bank holiday weekends!

It has since been relaunched as a trendy student bar with the usual suspects of chrome, faze animal skin upholstery and purple up-lighting rearing their ugly heads. If you like your trendy bars then this seems like as good as any but for those who don't I would avoid it if possible.

Barracuda isn't one of the most popular bars in Middlesbrough, it's located on Albert Road, just a…read moreshort walk from Walkabout. It's not hard to miss but I have never known it to get busy here. Inside is a moderate size dance floor with bar tables and stools and a few booths. Upstairs is a balcony overlooking part of the dance floor with more tables. The music is a mix of whatever is currently in the charts really but it's good to get up and dance to. The bar is long and it's easy to get served. The usual drinks are served here and they often have one specific drink up for about £1.50. Prices aren't too bad. It isn't one of the bet places in Middlesbrough but it's ok.

The pub it's self is spacious with plenty of seating and some pool tables. There is also a large dancefloor. The drinks are cheap and there are usually offers, such as 2 bottles for £3, as it is aimed at students and they also do a 'loyalty card' scheme whereby you can obtain certian discounts. The place/tilets can get messy and dirty towards the end of the night though!

Open 7 days a week, it used to be an old cinema and so the interior is huge with their being quite a big dancing area, a long bar with lots of staff on (so it doesn't take long to get served), a seating area overlooking the dance floor, a 'games' area (pool tables, itbox and side seating) and a group of tables wiht bar stools near the bar. The best night for the Crown has to be student night on a Monday. It costs £3 for entry with it being about £1.50 for pints and £1.25 for a spirit and soft drink mix. Shots are a pound. The music played is a mix of most modern or in the charts stuff and you can request songs if you climb the stairs to talk to the dj. The bouncers are quite friendly though the bar staff can be a bit grumpy at times (undertandable really with the nature of the job). Other nights the crown has is gay night and rock night that I know of. The only complaint I could have is it gets really crowded and it can be hard to grab a chance on the pool table. Generally though the music is good, prices are good and it's well worth a night out there!

They made a suggestion, and I asked again if It contained any of the allergens in question, and they assured me it didn't. The food arrived, I ate some, and realized there was in-fact one of the allergens in it. This level of negligence is appalling. I wouldn't even trust them if you don't have allergies. There are better places to get food.

It was refurbed during my time here more often, with industrial touches inspired by the area, long tables and post-it notes so people could pretend that they were revising. Drinks are cheap, staff are lovely, the hunter's chicken, the burgers and the parmo (slightly less guilt inducing than from a takeaway, and still a boro staple) were regular choices for our lot, along with the sauce game (we always cleared up, I promise). It's cheap and cheerful, and definitely a good student visit, and if you aren't a student too.

Had to ask for napkins & didn't seem to be many condiments available. Wasn't to busy at lunch time. Seems a nice location for a spot of lunch/dinner. Would return 6/2/2019 Have returned, this time we sat in the restaurant part. There was a number of offers for food at £5. Lunch specials I guess as it was lunch time! Not to busy. I must admit that having been here 3 or 4 times now over past 2/3 years, I prefer weatherspoons for a decent burger & chips, the price of the beer is a little expensive compared to spoons as well. It's handy for a pint & food after walking along the river for an hr or so.

There are two sections, as you walk in left is for table dining with service and right is bar dining or drinking. The food is of restaurant quality and presented beautifully, the menu is a little more expensive than your wetherspoon counterparts but is much better quality. There is a children's play area outside the back and table seating all around the pub, great in the summer with an extr bar outside !! The best part about The Talpore is the points card, if you go regular enough the points soon build up giving great discounts and money off vouchers.
