Samuel Smiths pub on two floors with outside patio area by the side of the river.
Very weird atmosphere. Not just because of no phone rule ! Bar staff need to crack a smile or even try & converse with punters. Looks decent from outside. Will not return.
absolutely fantastic pub in central durham. I’d have tried to get a few pictures as the interior as well as views from the pub itself were gorgeous. views of the castle were superb. It’s a pub and that doesn’t allow technology of any sort and promotes social communication. Fellow pub goers and staff all lovely and welcoming. the no phone rule is an incredible concept and is followed by all. Craft beers and not the usual beer sets the pub apart and makes it unique the lager was nice and the Sam Smith Ale was nice too. definitely return
Great value Sam Smith's pub serving a good range of their own beers, ciders and spirits. Lovely and warm with a fire upstairs, pretty cold downstairs.
A bit of an oddity. Only sells Sam Smiths beer and the first thing you see is a very large poster informing that you can’t use your phone. The beer selection didn’t cut it for us so we left, sadly.
Great city centre pub. Lots of seating inside and out with views over the river, cathedral and town. Prices have gone up but short of going to spoons you won't find a cheaper pint in town. Always decent people from students to visitors and locals with no idiots I've ever seen. Wonderful on a sunny summer afternoon but just as good on a cold winters day. Service is always spot on, as is the beer.

You'll always find a decent pint and a proper welcome at The Half Moon Inn, one of the few traditional pubs left in Durham city centre.
