The Travellers Rest, Durham

I can categorically say I was not in the Woodman Inn, nor was I in the Age Bar and Kitchen (as it was closed), the Travellers is now a building society. Travel further up claypath into gilesgate and you'll see the remnants, it still has the old lamp as part of the fixtures of the building

The Shakespeare Tavern, Durham

I've got to say this is a strong candidate for best pub in Durham. The locals are a bit despondent, but the alcohol is top notch!

Funnily enough, we encountered some of the 'Durham brats' students while in there, hilarious eavesdropping 'norm should be here, but he's shooting in Ireland'.

The Orange Brewery, Belgravia

Friendly staff, even if they had trouble with Geordie accents. Locals were somewhat nonchalant but not unfriendly as such. They need to start brewing their own beers again!
