We are more than a pint, we believe in bringing people together through good times and great hospitality.
Located in a building that dates back to 1530 and one of the oldest pubs in County Durham, the Bay Horse is an attractive, characterful pub in the historic town of Bishop Auckland. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area, this friendly local pub is passionate about it's beer, with an ever-changing selection of real ales and discounts for Camra members.
Settle down and escape that North East winter by our reconstructed open fire and warm your cockles with one of our great gins or our signature Old J spiced rum. Take a seat at our uniquely tiled bar and catch up with the friendly locals and take a pick from our great rand of beer and ciders on draught.
Board outside stated food served. However they don't do food. Bar staff said Area Manager wo t allow them to take sign away. 4 people in the pub at lunchtime, which 2 was me and my mate. Could do with a few coats of paint. Staff was very friendly.
We passed the door, and read the sign outside claiming "Hot & Cold FOOD", so parked in the pay car park across the road. When we entered the bar, we were ignored for about a minute by 3 staff who were doing nothing else. When we enquired about food, we were told bluntly "no, we don't serve food".
Live music from the Dustbowl Diary excellent atmosphere well received Went again and it was terrible young band without talent called Fake Stranger
Never got to try the food but the double Maxim was spot on friendly staff and dog friendly! Recommend 👍
Quality pub. Wide selection of beers and the Guinness was outstanding! Huge supporters of live music for many years so deserve support for that alone. Friendly locals and good pricing.
