Tucked into the small enclave of Kingston shops is the Durham Castle Arms; an English style pub…read morewhich offers a variety of beers on tap and a bistro for the less liquid-based hunger satisfying creations. 12 beers on tap provide good variety to choose from (including some dark ales) in addition to plenty of bottled sorts, wines and spirits for those wishing to diversify their selection of drink. The bistro serves standard pub fare, tried the Guinness pot pie which was delicious put down with a dark ale. The pub is divided up into a number of areas with seating on the bar side, kitchen side, and outside. There is also a stage and small dancefloor. A band was playing the night we came down. The bar population went from 2 of us plus a handful of others at 9:30pm, to overflowing with people and packed some 30-45mins later. Quiet to epic in under an hour - something which surprised me for this small Canberra venue.

I went to the Durham on a Tuesday night, and they happened to have pub trivia that night. I enjoy…read morepub trivia nights, so I liked this about the place. There were a lot of people there that night; the only seating I could find was at the bar, which was fine. Other than that, the atmosphere was very positive, everyone seemed to be having a good time. The Durham has the feel of an old English pub, which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, I liked the place. The only negative I have is the price of a beer. Maybe it's because Im an American and Im used to different prices for a beer, but the beers here did cost a bit more than they do back home. Other than that, Im a fan, and I would definitely go back here, especially on trivia night.

I'll have to say that the service wasn't that great, particularly since they didn't mention that…read morethere was more to the taxi number than was actually written on the wall (and they didn't offer to ring one either, despite lots of other pubs I've been to actually offering to do that). The other thing is that the beer selection honestly wasn't all that fantastic, though I suspect that that might have more to do with it being a country pub, with a country style, than anything else. Still, it was okay, just not particularly great.

Absolutely delighted by this place! Went on Tuesday for the $10 steak night. Had a delicious rump…read moresteak with Tasty steamed veggies. Had a choice of chips, potato bake with either salad or veggies and about 5 sauces to choose from (but I was endeavouring to be healthy so I gallantly declined those options). It was really nicely cooked, a little but more cooked than I usually enjoy in a rare steak, but for $10 I was pretty impressed. My mates absolutely loved the Diane and mushroom sauces and said the chips were crunchy and delicious. We then found ourselves involved in a hysterical trivia night, where we all lost something shocking but had great fun trying (don't ever ask us where any mountain ranges are located!). We subsequently moved onto desert and indulged in a tantalising variety of cakes. They each came in massive wedges of deliciousness with pots of both whipped cream and ice-cream on the side. The only negative I can think of is that it's quite chilly inside in winter as it is in an old wool shed (hence the name). The venue itself has a great atmosphere and is all decked out in vintage farming relics with dainty fairy lights twinkling from the wooden beams across the ceiling. All in all we were quite delighted and entranced by a place that, let's be honest, we only visited for the $10 steaks.
