Take a look!
Here we give a picture tour of The Keys latest addition to its well-loved Yarm and Middlesbrough venues.
Featuring the trademark light-up dance floor, the venue is sure to prove a popular addition to the Alastair Powell-owned chain.
The handsome building in Skinnergate, Darlington, was bought by Cleveland Cable Company owner Alastair - one of the region’s wealthiest men - in 2011.
Daughter Vicky Powell - licensee at the club on Yarm High Street - says that the original state of the building has meant that it’s taken a while to take shape.
The 33-year-old, who lives in Eaglescliffe, said: “We bought the place in August 2011.
“The building was in a worse state of repair than what we thought it was and so it’s taken a longer time.
“It was my dad who chose the place as he used to go on a night out there and he’d always loved the building.”
The venue has a similar layout to the Yarm set-up - with a restaurant on the ground floor and a nightclub upstairs.
There is also a signature Keys light-up dance floor.
Vicky says they are also recreating Yarm’s Clique R&B night in Darlington - as well as making sure there is plenty of pop and house music in the mix.
The Darlington Keys, however, is open for longer. It shuts at 3am as opposed to 2am at the other venues.

Owner Alastair, 62, who lives in Hutton Rudby, Yarm, regularly features on The Sunday Times North East Rich List with brother Michael.
The night club is open every Friday, Saturday and Monday 10pm until 3am.
The restaurant serves food daily from 9am until 9pm Monday to Saturday and Sunday 10am unril 6pm offering Sunday lunch from midday till 6pm.
