Inside Old Toms

We love seeing people’s faces when they visit – especially when their jaws hit the floor! Our bar area features a collection of gins from all over the world) but it isn’t the only eye-catcher. Look up and you’ll find a curious collection of weird, wonderful and wacky finds. Many customers describe us a museum!

“Probably the most interesting place in Durham to visit. A gorgeous secret gem.”

Carl Bedford 

Love this place. It's really quirky and the bartenders definitely know their stuff - they are so educated and help you choose amazing drinks.

The riverwalk

The views don’t come much better than outside Old Toms. Relax on our terrace (with a gin in hand!) and enjoy the views of the Durham Castle and the river. We’re situated on The Riverwalk development – in the heart of Durham’s historic city – a new £30million leisure development. Although we’re not new! Old Toms’ building itself dates back to the 1500-1600 and is filled with character and charm.
