The Drunken Duck is a busy city-centre pub on Claypath in Durham, where dogs are welcome inside the bar and dining areas. You'll find a full menu served Monday to Saturday at lunchtime and dinner every evening until quarter to eight, so the whole group can settle in for proper food without anyone stuck outside.
The pub opens from noon at weekends, from 2pm Monday to Wednesday and Thursday and stays open late every night—until 1am on Friday and Saturday. It's close to Durham's main visitor loop, so it works well for a pint after exploring or dinner before the evening.
The atmosphere is lively and central, with a clear dog policy and no need to split up. Food, late opening and an indoor welcome make it a practical stop when you're out with the dog in Durham.

Dog Policy:
Dogs are welcome inside the pub, including the bar and dining areas. Nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty while the rest of the group eats.
