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.
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.
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.
I have been going to Durham for years now, I like a nice walk round and a pint or two in the bars. I have until last week not been in the Colpitts for some reason. I have been missing out on what is now my favourite bar in Durham. The place has bags of character. When we went in the coal fire was burning in the bar , lovely and another coal fire in the back room, double lovely. The decor is old and is still fresh. The beer is Sam Smiths and you can talk without any interference from internet based things. I look forward to my next visit already. Check it out for yourself I have included photos.
I used to come here 40 years ago. It's still a Sam Smith's pub. No cards, just cash. No mobile devices, what a great idea. Very tranquil, if you get s call you have to take it outside. Very clean and period finish to the place. Good selection of drinks, coal fire in the bar. Pool room. All round good pub.
