Colpitts Hotel, Durham

Lovely pub, very friendly and welcoming (landlady, locals and students). Good quiz.

Just outside the City, the COlpitts is an old (Edwardian?), wedge-shaped end-of-terrace pub used mainly by locals and, due to its incredibly low prices, students. It's also a GBG regular, so CAMRA members are often found here. The beer was all good - I have no problems with Sam Smith's beers as some people seem to. Reception was welcoming and the locals were friendly. Recommended for a pint anytime and it's worth extending a City crawl to come out here.
