Offers a range of real ales, craft beers, and freshly ground Lavazza coffee.

The Swatters has been a public house for more than a century.

Mostly, the three-storey building (which extends along Victoria Road) was the Empire (not to be confused with the nearby Empire Theatre – now a nightclub).

The Empire was originally named the Empire Hotel. The building is recorded in the 1891 census as the Swatters Carr Hotel Public House – Swatters (or Swathers) Carr after the isolated farmhouse, first recorded on a map dated 1618, long before Middlesbrough was a town.
