The Half Moon Inn

The Half Moon Inn is a Durham pub where dogs are welcome inside, half a mile from the city centre. It's the kind of place where the whole group stays on the right side of the door and nobody has to stand outside clutching a lead in the rain.

The pub opens at 11am every day, running through to 11pm most nights and midnight from Tuesday to Saturday. That gives you plenty of scope for a lunchtime pint, an afternoon escape or an evening settle-in with your dog under the table.

It's a straightforward, dog-friendly Durham pub that solves the usual dilemma of finding somewhere that takes both you and your four-legged planning committee. No fuss, just a warm welcome and a reliable option when you need one.
