Bridge Hotel, Durham

Comfortable and inviting pub, low-key and very civilised compared to the more boisterous North Road establishments on yon side of the roundabout. Clean carpets, nice decor, and dead comfy. Three 'real ales', Theakston's, Speckled Hen, and one guest are usually good, pretty well kept. Food is fairly good as a rule (though a recent menu change saw the loss of the chilli burger, my fave dammit!), and the home made chips are the best around. That's it really. Nothing spectacular, but one of the nicest pubs in the city centre.
