Real Ale Ray left this review about Victoria Inn
A family run Grade II listed Victorian inn. Multi-roomed decorated with William Morris style wallpaper and open coal fires. Very well kept ales, I went for the Archbishop Lees Ruby Ale, Wylam Gold Tankard, Big Lamp Bitter and High House Farm Nells Best. Looking forward to my return.

Five minutes walk from the Cathedral Close, but off the tourist trail, the Victoria is always my first port of call when I'm in Durham. The building is Victorian, and entering is like stepping back in time - no machines, pool table or jukebox, just good conversation in what looks like the original setting. It's a CAMRA favourite and for good reason. There were 4 beers on; the Big Lamp (always a favourite) was fantastic. They also have a large seletion of whiskies. In my opinion the best pub in Durham and one to which I will always return when in the area.

Excellent pub with a good array of ever changing guest beers, always well kept. A couple of quirky rooms with lots of interesting photo's/objects to look at and real fires. Conversation only in here. Don't expect this place to be open all day, check for their opening times before visiting.

Blackthorn _ left this review about Victoria Inn
Appropriately called the Victoria as there are plenty of photo's of the old lady all around the pub, and it doesn't look as though it's changed at all since. Not that that's a bad thing of course, it gives a place character.
Plenty of wood panelling, and a few doorbells in the rear bar to gain the attention of the bar staff. Why can't a few more pubs do that?
Good choice of beers on tap, plus Strongbow cider.
