Colpitts Hotel Pub

Chris Massa

Colpitts Hotel is a Samuel Smith pub, and it's a "digital detox pub," which means the use of technology is discouraged. And it's easily my favourite pub in Durham. The beer is outstanding—it is Samuel Smith, after all—and the prices can't be beat. The staff is exceptional, and the atmosphere is perfection. This is what a pub should be, and it gets my highest recommendation.

Proper local in Durham with a nice sense of community. Sam Smith's pub so don't expect Stella or Guinness, they only serve their own brands... but if you have a preference for Sam Smith's pubs, you know that already.

Used to frequent this pub many years ago, and revisited it last week for a friend's birthday celebration changed a little but not lost its character, great value for money, and very very pleasant staff.
