The Colpitts is one of the nicest pubs in Durham city centre. It's located quite far out of the main pubs and bars in the city, up a hill behind the bus station, where few other pubs are located. Despite this, the pub becomes busy, especially at weekends, although it tends to attract a certain crowd, mainly students.
The pub is old-fashioned in its decoration, with old carpets and wallpaper surrounding it's wooden tables with upholstered benches. The bar spans the front of the entrance, with a large lounge area to the right and a smaller area to the right, behind which is a dedicated games room, with a pool table and a darts board. The games room is a brightly painted room reminiscent of a working mens club.
The best thing about this pub is the drinks - they're among the cheapest priced in Durham and their range of cocktails is brilliant, which sounds unusual for such a pub, but this is its charm. I first tried many cocktails here - such as a Pink Kangaroo (vodka, advocaat, cider and blackcurrent) and a Fluffy Ducky (vodka, advocaat and peach schnapps). My 17-year-old self didn't find these drinks as disgusting as they now seem. -

Some pubs are just total gems and this is one . Leather seats wooden floors and an atmosphere that just makes you want to stay . Only has sam smiths on but at under £2 a pint and very decent quality who is complaning .

Similar to the swan and three signets. It's a sam smiths pub so is nice and cheap. It's run by some nice people and the snug is really good on a cold night esp when they put the fire on!

Popped in for a couple of pints on a Saturday afternoon on a recent visit to Durham, only one hand pump beer available but at £1.37 a pint I wasn't going to grumble. Nice old fashioned pub
