The Waiting Room

I really enjoy this little place last week. The ale is kept really well, tasted great and the team gave me a warm and friendly welcome. I'll happily sit here for a good hour or two before the train arrives!!

Great little pub right on the platform. There is a good selection of beer and I've never had a bad pint. The covered outdoor area means you can finish your pint just as your train pulls into the station! If you're traveling north then you must visit!

All station pubs have got to be judged against the excellent Sheffield tap. Even though we came to Durham by car we had a steady walk up and found it to be very good. Although there's not too many on tap ours was a lovely pint. It's nice inside with good seating, but what makes it is the excellent outside area which is fully covered. The staff were very friendly.

Fabulous little bar in Durham Station. Only open a few years but looks like a victorian marvel! Great atmosphere, great beer and lovely staff! Sit outside and drink beer and watch trains and people go by! Great stuff!

Nice place to pass the time while waiting for a train but, come on Waiting Room, catch up and stock a GF beer of some description. There are plenty available from your usual suppliers!

I visit this pub at least once a week, the staff are lovely and very chatty, the beer is always spot on.
If you like train spotting it’s perfect, I’ve seen many a steam special here over the years, when it opened a few years ago I became a regular, Well recommended to start a night out in Newcastle or Durham

Friendly staff and a good looking place but too limited and expensive for soft drinks for me. £3.40 for a tiny bottle of diet coke is just too much. Better options nearby.

Fantastic food beers and wine and the staff are knowledge and extremely pleasant.
