Be transported back to the roaring ’20s with a trip to The Vault – a glamorous speakeasy hidden beneath Darlington Market.

This 1920s-themed bar is brimming with fun sophistication and offers a unique alternative to your standard drinking hole.

Located below ground in a refurbed cellar, The Vault serves top-quality craft beers, real ale, creative cocktails, small plates and charcuterie.

The cherry on top is the ’20s-themed entertainment – expect jazz bands, burlesque performances, flapper girls and a full-sized grand piano. It truly is one of a kind.
