Headed to the bar for a cocktail but the bar staff said said they had stopped serving cocktails. However, we were shocked to find a different member staff serving cocktails to people who had just arrived. Not sure if they just couldn’t be bothered… Live music in the venue which was great and had we had not had the issue with cocktails would have been a lovely bar.

Out with a group of friends and decided for a drink by the river, discovered whiskey river and had to try. Great selection of whiskys, bar staff are new but learning quickly and happily made all the cocktails we asked for. 10/10 would come back

Smart, efficient, and knowledgeable staff behind the bar, and good door staff. That used to be this bar. Now the staff are bored, rude, inexperienced kids. The place has been let to run down. Decor peeling and toilets overflowing with faeces. It's dead and dying and frankly needs putting out of its misery. Go to the Boathouse opposite instead. Great views, 2-1 drinks and good staff.

Unfortunately the bar is suffering from a lack of staff, and the owner is always more drunk than it’s customers… Very sad as it used to be the best bar in Durham

They said sorry it's too busy we can't let you in ! It wasn't busy at all in fact it was a table outside That was empty... I just don't understand it !!!!!!

Lovely location. Expensive, with a limited drink selection. Service was rude and slow.
Ignored at the bar while the staff stood and chatted! Then was told that I should have raised my hand to show that I needed serving!

9 months on, still waiting to be paid. Contacted numerously for payment of handcrafted artisan gin. Continuously ignored our email and calls. Such a shame they would take advantage of small family run business. Would never go there again!
