    This place is legendary even in the true north of England. There’s legend of a bar tender so tall and handsome he makes Prince Charming look like a simp. Drinks flow like the fountains of heaven and the banter Morgan provides is crazy and always make me and my girlfriend feel incredibly welcome. We will always make time for flares Middlesbrough when he’s around, give him a promotion. X

    This establishment needs to be investigated under health and safety and public protection act.. The safety of of public who enters this establishment is jeopardised. The door staff are incompetent and are nothing but employed Bullies.. verbally and physically abusing vunerable people who call the authorities when things don't go their way ???? Total waste of resources.. authorities need to investigate flares before a major incident happens because it is evitable in this run down place.

    Flares is hands down the best place in Boro, can’t beat it for a night out. Music is class and the staff make the night even better. Had a class conversation with Erin behind the bar 🌟🌟🌟

    Me and my friend who are full time mums and never get to go out on nights for a drinks or friend time. We were very excited about going to flares for a girls night. We are both 19. I understand you have rules in place to not let under 18s in your establishment, but the way the bouncers made my friend feel was totally out of order. They made her pull out every piece of identification, including cinema cards, bank details and social media. They still said it wasn’t her. Saying and I quote “ if I was you I’d get your ID CHANGED” and “it looked like her sister” who was in the car who dropped us off, they proceeded to basically interrogate my friend and her sister WHO IS ONLY 16 . Moral of the story, your bouncers who are there to protect costumers and staff, have judged my friend because she has put a bit of weight on, and her ID photo is from before she had her daughter. FAIR TO SAY WE WILL NOT BECOMING BACK. DISGUSTING

  • 5/5 Katie 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful experience lastnight. Unplanned night out and was probably the best night out I’ve had. Different range of music and felt safe. Katie was smashing aswell, must be with the same name as me! Thankyou!

  • 5/5 Morgan B. 1 year ago on Google
    The rumours are true people. The magic touch does exist and Morgan Best has it. The skill and dedication behind this bar tender is amazing and he will go down in boro history as the best bar tender and conversationalist there ever was. #vivalaflares

    First time at Flares on Friday night. Bar staff great Door staff (young lady with long black hair) left a lot to be desired. Complained at the bar about her. Won't be cooming back.

    Absolute ridiculous place to go on a night out. Door staff are disgusting and Insulting. Name call and belittle public just so they fee like the big man. Will ever go to or recommend this venue. It is a disgrace to Middlesbrough

    If you want to jump the que let the boss right the review for you witch she did my first one then you can get in all the time or so I thought until I've been searched 4 times by men and women then tonight because I wouldn't hold my bag while she put my belongings back witch fell on the floor she refused me entry. So all th reviews are written by the management to get people in

  • 1/5 Jeremy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Shocking venue. Pay to get in as a older gentleman, take my entry fee. Then whilst getting my 3rd drink get told to leave for wearing my cap by some young lady with life issues. Would not recommend. No refund given

  • 5/5 BiaMaith 7 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my time here. It was a Friday night and I was with some new friends I met in a pub earlier. The atmosphere was excellent and service quick. The door staff couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. The music was a mix of 80's and 90's and really good. Definitely a place to visit of you are out for a late night when in Middlesbrough.
