Off work tomorrow and at a loose end so was thinking about a couple of pints and some bait in Durham. I know there is nowhere for bait but where other than Wetherspoons will be open midday?

I've heard Durham is a ghost town on here midweek so assumed options would be limited.
Cheers. Do like it in there but only been in on a weekend.Drinks | Head of Steam

Echoing this i’m back in the NE for the first time in ages soon. Anywhere in Durham other than spoons NOT taking peoples eyes out for a half decent pint of lager? Ideally somewhere beer gardeny / hods of birds around wearing no bra’s etc would be great.
Others might be normalised to forking out over £5 for a pint but it ain’t my bag so if it has to be Lloyds it has to be Lloyds.
Incidentally my claim to fame is I was the one that years ago took exception to loads of dullards 10+ years ago asking on here “is there anywhere decent to eat in Durham?”

Elm tree best bar by a mile one just down from angel is ok full of posh old folk but, like @Parkmaverick 
The Shakespeare is a fab pub but more of a locals pub and not sure bout food during the week, Sir Nial Quinn used to frequent and they have changed the glass so you can look at people strolling past

The Victoria is the best pub in Derrim. But out the way, attracts reet uns and a class place to just settle in for a few.

Bill's is just dreadful these days (used to be ok, not now), the food is lower quality than Wetherspoons.
The best pub food in Durham centre is The Bridge, under the viaduct.
