Said to be one of or even the oldest existing pubs in Durham. Has a quaint old atmosphere. Friendly. I tried 3 traditional hand pumped beers , all were well looked after.

Small pub with a distinctive atmosphere.

Have been visiting this amazing pub in Durham City since I was 18. I'm 75 now. After many, many years away from my home town, I popped in for a pint last Friday afternoon. The Dun Cow was exactly as it has always been - great beer and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. I remember it best when Tommy was in charg. There may have been an odd, misty something in a corner behind the bar last Friday: I'm not quite sure.Hope I get to visit again before too long. Cheers!

A beautiful traditional pub in the heart of beautiful historic Durham .A fine selection of Ales served by a very welcoming bar staff and friendly regularly to make a stranger seem welcom.

You feel like you've gone back a few years in this pub- and I love it! Small bar at front and larger one at back. If it's not busy only front one will be open. 3 or 4 hand pumps with different beers. Everything feels very old fashioned but it's popular with all ages. Toilets are outside at the back.

Not a reflection of this establishment, more of a criticism of the lack of updates on Google. We walked here with our dog looking forward to good beer an pub grub. Sadly the pub grub was a victim of COVID and has not restarted. A great pity as it looked a very atmospheric place. Hopefully the meals will restart in the future
Old drinking place 50 years ago. Great place. Hasn't changed!

Had a small pub tour of Durham, didn't dislike any of the others, but this was our favourite. Happily return here.

Best old pub in Durham city. Love stopping by to take in the traditional pub setting. The building is old and supposed to be haunted! Has historic ties to the old hangman for the court not far away. On another note, had a pickled egg once, I'll put that down as a life experience!!! This is the pub to visit in Durham city if you are there.
