    Small selection of draught beers but all local and really good the few I had. My Grandad's been wanting to visit since it opened and was happy to take him and will take him back again!

    This is a pub that has been on my wish list for a while. Living nearly 200 miles away means it's not a random Tuesday night stroll. Having tied it into Chorleys game at Spennymoor, I'm good to go. Managed to take in a quick pint in Waiting Room on Durham station before noon (recommended). This pub know exactly what they're doing - and they do it perfectly. Beer exceptional, as you'd hope/assume. The presence of T.T.'s Boltmaker helped. Couldn't dally before the game, but certainly didn't rush for the early train. Sincerely hope it's not too long before a repeat visit. Excellent!

    Thursday 11th May 2023 We visited this great old-fashioned ale House near Durham train station When got in here, I was so happy a great local following through a proper jug and bottle hatch of old days; therefore, was a great choice of real ale pulled from the barrels pulled by the owner Great great place to drink great real ale

    Wonderful Pub and excellent beer, with knowledgeable staff to help you choose. Really friendly atmosphere and lots of events throughout the week. Very much worth a visit.

    Just a couple of very quick drop-ins to this bar when briefly visiting Durham. Nice atmosphere, great range of whisky and lovely service. Will return when I have more time!

    If you're a fan of good beer, there are two places in Durham that are really worth checking out. If you want Samuel Smith, go to Colpitts Hotel; if you want anything else, go to The Station House. There's a frequently changing list of cask ales and ciders, a small but welcoming layout, and staff who knows what they're doing. Clearly this is a place run by and for beer lovers. Count me as a fan.

    Really enjoyed my visit here. Great beers.

  • 5/5 Lisa R. 6 months ago on Google
    Great snug little bar. They have some great beers and ciders on offer. I had London Pride and my partner had two different ciders. Would definitely recommend and staff very friendly.

  • 5/5 Steve 9 months ago on Google
    This is a traditional wet led pub which I visited during a brief stay in Durham. 5 real ales for sale which I understand are changed regularly. Also a great range of ciders. Varied and comfortable seating. Excellent barman who really knows what he is doing. The locals were very friendly and they obviously love their local.

    Lovely little pub located at the roundabout just off the entrance to Durham Train Station

  • 5/5 Cornelia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, friendly and fantastic beer and cider . I enjoyed the music session upstairs ! Fantastic and rustic place .

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely micropub within a unique building. Quite quirky, but very popular. Nice buzz and very friendly. Owner very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. My wife is a celiac, but we still managed to find an appropriate beer, that unfortunately cannot be said for many other pubs. Was 2022 Camra pub of the year runner up. A great accolade and from what we saw, we'll deserved, great choice of beers stocked. Would strongly recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Peter F. 11 months ago on Google
    Great for real ales, slightly quirky (in a good way). Beer served through a hatch which has the cellar behind. Well worth the time spent here on a session!

  • 5/5 Jack S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beer, great staff. We were waiting for a train so it couldn't have been in a more convenient location. They even had the live train times up on the wall.

  • 5/5 Peter W. 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy place with friendly atmosphere and kind staff. Perfect if you have a few hours to kill before a train. Good non alcoholic options too and reasonably priced. Only a four minute walk from the station.

  • 5/5 Joanne H. 1 year ago on Google
    Quirky little bar at the top end of Durham with a huge choice of real ales and bottles. A must when you visit Durham

  • 5/5 Derek J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little pub for craft beer. Friendly staff and good range

  • 4/5 Rocketman 1. 1 year ago on Google
    This pub has been improved gradually since it opened and is now a very pleasant place to spend a few hours. Quirky and a bit different in a nice way with a great range of cask ales. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Benpn N. 1 year ago on Google
    Insanely good selection of cask ales, IPA's, lagers and ciders. Good atmosphere too.

  • 5/5 William C. 1 year ago on Google
    Got to love a bit of "Old fashioned" really good choice of Alcoholic Beverages..

  • 4/5 Angus W. 4 years ago on Google
    Really good pub. Very authentic bar. Lots of cider tasters to find out what you want and bar tender is really good. The bar tender takes his time. Finds out what you like and the price is reasonable for craft cider. £8 for two ciders. Pub has seating up and downstairs. Stools and chairs. Highly recommended. Great place if you like drinking good quality and fantastic service. Has good food pairings for food and serves lots of good beers and gins and wine.

    Cosy little cask and craft beer focused micro pub tucked under the railway viaduct, next to the station approach. Handy for the station (though down a steep slope from the station), also handy for the bus station and the shopping streets. Excellent quality beers and a good range of malt whisky.

  • 5/5 Helen T. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to enjoy other people's company. A relaxed pub with friendly bar staff who know all about beer & cider

  • 5/5 Mike S. 1 year ago on Google
    Best real ale I've had in ages. Friendly welcome. No wonder they're up for national Pub of the Year!

  • 5/5 Colin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little micro pub, handy for buses & trains! Well kept & reasonably priced real ales. Just wished that I'd known they did pork pies.
