Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

We are a lively sports bar showing all major events, with eleven HD TVs and two big screens meaning you’ll never miss a minute of the action! Our lower level also has two pool tables, and large tables for bigger groups that want to watch sport with us.

During the day we have a more relaxed pub atmosphere for casual dining, and in the evening we operate as a late bar with craft beers from some of the favourite breweries in the country (and some local heroes too!), cocktails, and a wide selection of premium spirits.

Last but not least, make sure you pick up one of our famous ‘MORE’ cards, so that you can collect points to spend with us!

Arrived to a busy bar. When we got service the staff asked for our name on the booking, who then asked for how many, and then walked off looking for a table. They came back to say they didn’t have our booking after all, so we walked out. What a waste of time, why are you taking bookings if you aren’t capable of supplying a table?

Booked a table for Durham lumiere as we knew it would be very busy in the city. We turned up with our two young, hungry children and they had no record of the table so turned us away. Despite it only being 5pm it was full of very intoxicated people and music was blaring. Would not recommend especially for families.
