The Woodman Inn is a traditional pub just off Durham city centre on the Gilesgate side, where dogs are welcome inside alongside you. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.
It's a proper public house with a relaxed feel, serving food and drink daily from midday. Your dog can settle in with you in the indoor dining area, so there's no need to choose between a meal and keeping them close. The pub's own welcome extends to well-behaved dogs, making it a straightforward stop whether you're exploring the city or passing through the east side.
Open seven days a week until 11pm Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, it's a useful dog-friendly option when you need a reliable pint and a plate without the fuss.
