The John Walker Tavern

The John Walker Tavern on Bridge Road is one of Stockton’s livelier sports pubs, with big screens showing football, rugby, racing and other major fixtures. Drinks are the main focus, and mobile table ordering means you can usually stay put once the match starts.

Later in the week it gets busier and feels more like part of the town-centre night out, but sport is still the big reason many people head in. If you want a pint and somewhere central to watch the game, the John Walker Tavern is an obvious option.
