Review Voodoo Cafe - Darlington

James Ellis

Really good food and drinks, the only Mexican restaurant in Darlington, would only say the burrito was a little skinny. Also could do with a website that displayed the restaurant menu.

Sam Dawson

Very nice but to be honest for people 30+ not for people my age 25- come if looks for causal drinks though and alright prices

Geoff Anderson

Have been visiting Voodoo for many years now whenever I am in Darlington and it never disappoints. The menu has a lot to choose from and the food is always cooked perfectly and is packed full of flavour. The bar area downstairs has a great atmosphere with an extensive range of drinks - you will probably end up spending the rest of your night here! The staff are extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Also if you have any allergies or dietary preferences the staff always go above and beyond to make sure you are looked after. Has been my favourite place in Darlington for many years now. Highly recommend.

Fabulous food & cocktails, we felt very well looked after trying different wines. The manager is great but needs to have a word with bar staff as an issue sadly with body odour for one of the male staff.

Wow what a fantastic meal we've just had here. The drinks are morish, the best choice in town by far and the young chef has the flavours of the food on point, really a fantastic meal, there's still a party in our mouths. The big fajitas are a show stopper and worth every penny. Les and Kendra have in our opinion the best place in town.

Nicole Lyons

Great staff day and night. Very forgiving of the riotous toddler! Awesome selection of drinks..spirits especially....even deaths door gin, my particular favourite. Might not look much inside to a newbie in town but the bar staff are lovely and knowledgeable. Good food. And really diversified by offering salsa, tango classes with after class social. Well attended and very popular. A gem for darlington

Fabulous bar and eatery... Shows most other places in Darlington how it should be done. Bar serves excellent drink range (beers, lagers, spirits) and the theatrical cocktail making is fun to watch. Lovely decor and atmosphere. Restaurant is great serving superb Mexican cuisine.

Excellent. Visited late afternoon on the off chance that they were still serving. Unfortunately the staff said initially that that it was too late. However, without any persuasion a very helpful member of staff opened the kitchen back up and cooked us some lovely tacos. You don't get this type of service from the big franchises and this should be one of the reasons that people should visit these little one off cafes. Lovely food, a real mix of people in the bar which appeared to sell a huge range of spirits. Thanks for your hospitality. I'll definitely be back.

Great latin theme bar / Restaurant. Huge spirit selection. Lots of cocktails. Food is really nice. Mature clientele with entertainment to match. They hold dance classes throughout the week which are very friendly for beginners.

R Swinbank

Excellent beer, staff superb but let down by sound technician/DJ when we were there (Friday night). Great night and choice of music was good but the sound was grossly imbalanced and found ourselves bracing against the treble. Would definitely recommend the place, but bring your ear plugs 😂

Ryan Furness

Great place. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. The head bar manager has recommended some very nice whiskys to try. I'm definitely going to return, to try some more whisky and other spirits.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to in the north. I’d come all the way back up to Darlington just to come here! enjoy a fantastic meal with gorgeous service, then go downstairs and work your way through the delicious cocktail menu & dance the night away!

Superb selection of spirits, probably the best cocktail bar in the north east with skilled and knowledgeable staff. The perfect margarita, and incredible tequilas. All topped off with a great selection of bottled and draft beers and special ales. They even do excellent Mexican food in the restaurant upstairs.

Andrew Greenwood

Good selection of both beers and spirits. The guys behind the bar seem to know their stuff more than others in other bars and can give out some good recommendations. It's a good place me and the guys from work frequent on our monthly nights out.

Was actually weirdly put off by a bad smell a few years back so never visited. Finally gave it a go for restaurant week and was blown away. Delicious, really excellent Mexican food. Think maybe some dishes a little expensive for full price but the value was great this week. One thing the owners should consider as other reviews have mentioned and also my parents have said they've never gone in because it always looks empty. You need to make it clearer your restaurant is upstairs. People are avoiding as they think it's always empty!!

Hugo Minney

Great place for a party - as well as the blue gin (that turns pink with mixers), the whole place is fun, and serves excellent food quickly, great cocktails and mocktails, good music. Easy reach of station and bus for an alcoholic event, car parking in town centre for those who can. Voodoo bar is a thumbs-up

Sarah Brown

We came here a few weeks ago as it was recommended. The restaurant is upstairs, it was a bit dated decor wise but the food was amazing. You can see the chefs cook your food and the staff were so friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. We can't wait to go back, thankyou voodoo.

Samantha Hill

Great place to eat, if you like Mexican food get yourself there. Service was top notch, great menu with plenty to choice. Sat 5-6pm 2 course for 12.95 definetly worth every penny. Highly recommend, a place we will go back to.

Matt Dunn

After meaning to try this place for many many years we finally did last night and had a lovely meal. The jalapeno jelly dressing on the salad was delicious, and I didn't want my beef Chimichanga to end! I enjoyed a nice pint of hand pulled ale too. The restaurant itself is quite "basic", no airs and graces, but I like that... Service and food both very good. We'll be back :)

Sandra Richardson

I tried the sharing platter off the new menu and it was delicious ! All washed down with the best long island ice tea I've ever had . Les and kendra ,were as always ,the perfect hosts. BRAVO ! I will certainly be back x

Tracey Zissler

Well the ladies and I have now adopted voodoo as our drinking hole of choice....no where else compares with the drinks choice or the great staff and music .....love it...xxx

Jotnar Mohammed Drumski McGimpfoot

Called in after work for an emergency pint . What a lovely vibe friendly staff good beer can't fault the place keep up the good work

Paul Kane

What's not to like, especially over a bank holiday weekend, superb DJs, dancing, great food, unbelievable cocktails but best of all fantastic staff and a very warm welcome, once you've been you'll keep coming back. ...

Charly Thompson

Food is delicious, very accommodating staff when our party got confused with the menus......a learning curve for all. Will definitely be returning 😋 If you like spicey then you’ll love this place ❤️

Derek Dryden

Been lots of different times and the 2 constants are lovely grub and the best cocktails in Darlington. Just need some seating at the bar #IdeaOfTheMonth

Judith Heuvel

Great place, lovely food and the cocktails are spectacular not to mention the fab staff.

Jean Marley

food fantastic margaritas best ever and atmosphere and service was fantastic always a favourite xx

Nigel Broadbent

Had another excellent Sunday afternoon trawling through the cocktail menu. Love this place for its chilled atmosphere and excellent drinks!

Angela McNulty

Fantastic meal on Saturday night, particularly for a friend with coeliac disease who is also allergic to dairy. Staff couldn't have done more to accommodate and reassure and we now have a 'safe' place to eat when she's visiting - not an easy thing to find. Thank you.

Alexander Still

Great food and friendly atmosphere. We've found a new place to eat in Darlington!

Rosie Earl

We went to voodoo cafe last night for dinner and the staff were absolutely lovely! One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had! Lovely team.

Doug Knowles

Exciting and satisfying food well prepared and presented, amazing range of spirits, cocktails and beers and great service.
