This is a must visit pub if you are in Durham. Excellent choice of ales, friendly barman and a positive step back in time in this timeless tavern . As a previous posting suggested, having left here and tried other pubs in Durham you realise you have made a mistake. Only had one pint, Titanic, but unlike that ship , this will not be my sole trip here.

Well worth the 5 minute walk from the back of the railway station, less manic than most city centre pubs on a Friday eve, recommended.

reassuringly expensive, keeps out the riff raff don't you know. Excellent choice of ales, a definite must visit pub if in York.

I must disagree with the comments of realalerules83, if he has an objection to draft (?) he should go to a bottles only establishment. Also if beer offerings 'was' paltry surely that infers to one beer only, as opposed to beers in the plural. However you don't need good grammar to appreciate good ale and I have never had a bad pint in this pub no matter how I asked for it.

Sheffield police recently reported a fall in crime in the city centre. Asked how they had achieved this, the Chief of South Yorkshire Police replied that they had deployed a system of isolating hot spots of criminal activity and had arrested everyone in the Bankers Draft.

Visited on a Friday night, the pub itself is surrounded by Chesterfields gliterratti discoteques, and upon entering encountered some of the future stars of said discos. Nevertheless it has to be said that for a small town on a Friday night this was quite an enjoyable experience with a good mix of age groups and friendly clientele. My visit coincided with a W'spoons beer festival, great choice including Moons @ 6.0% £2.15 a pint and Abbots Confession @ 8.5 £1.49 a half, a couple of those and you'd confess to anything- a tip for for Yanks at Guantanamo.
