Indoor Welcome Last Verified:

The Head of Steam Durham is a busy pub just off North Road, serving drinks and food daily in a relaxed setting where dogs are welcome inside. It's a handy stop if you're exploring Durham or need a station-side break without leaving your dog outside.

Food is served until 9pm every day, so you can settle in for lunch or an early dinner with the lead looped round a chair leg. The menu covers classic pub fare alongside drinks and the whole group can sit together while your dog supervises from under the table.

Open from midday Monday to Sunday, it's a straightforward dog-friendly pub in a central spot. The welcome is genuine, the atmosphere is pub-proper and there's no fuss about having a dog at your feet while you eat or drink.

Water bowls available
