The Dun Cow

The Dun Cow is a gem: fiendly and about 4000 years old. It's always good for a quiet pint.

The Half Moon Inn

The Half Moon Inn stocks a huge range of ales and ciders and is close to Elvet Riverside. A beer garden behind the establishment looks out over the river and is a great place to relax in summer.

The Swan & Three Cygnets

The Swan & Three Cygnets is a popular pub all year round with lots of outdoor space for those long, hot summer days. Commonly referred to as the Swan & Three by students, the pub is near to Elvet Riverside and offers a good pint.

The New Inn

The New Inn is a regular haunt for those working at the Science Site. You can no longer get discounts; and the price can be pretty steep for some drinks although most of what it has to offer can be described as cheap and cheerful. It's a sound watering hole but probably won’t win any Michelin stars anytime soon.

The Victoria

The Victoria has a fantastic selection of real ales to drink whilst snuggled inside looking at the Victorian decor. Really worth a visit.

The Shakespeare Tavern

The Shakespeare is the city's oldest pub and is located on Saddler Street. Don't be put off when you enter if there are no seats spare, there is a little more room round the back of the place.

Ye Old Elm Tree

The Ye Old Elm Tree holds one of the hardest quizzes in Durham and many a 'folk night'. An evening spent here is an evening not wasted in a cosy and relaxing atmosphere.
