Basically the only place in Durham with live music every Friday and Saturday. I love live music, but the musicians who come here are not great, plus it’s always the same songs.

Went to Katie O’Briens yesterday & honestly had the most amazing time. Guinness and whisky was flowing, the live music was incredible and the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing. The server was really knowledgeable about the whisky and poured a cracking pint of Guinness, with a clover in the top! Will 100% be back.
