The Head of Steam is Durham’s best kept secret and home to the finest selection of beers, ales and spirits from around the world. We’re all about great tunes and an atmosphere to match.
Hiding in Reform Place, just off North Road is the Oasis that is the Head of Steam. Just a stones throw from the famous Durham Cathedral and the popular Riverwalk. Offering a fantastic range of craft beer, local real ale along with World beers, spirits and cocktail, there is no other place quite like the Head of Steam.
The venue has a beautiful outside balcony and terrace area, which is the perfect place to enjoy your favourite tipple, away from the hustle and bustle of the City. The venue has two floors, with the upstairs being the perfect place for your next function or business meeting.
Looking for something to eat, the Head of Steam offers a great selection of burgers, pizzas and sharers, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

Great pub tucked away from the crowds. Amazing vegetarian and vegan food with great lunch deal ~£10 w/drink. Lovely atmosphere and decorations.
Great few pints, even enjoyed some roasties and gravy, amazing staff.
Lovely pub, extremely wide range of beers.
Found down a little alleyway on North Rd, easy to miss but really cosy and nice, great beer selection, I'm currently sipping on an 8% red beer... staff are friendly and chatty. Worth coming to find. Cheers!
We held our engagement party here and I couldn’t have been happier with how it went. Matt the manager helped us with planning the food and drinks and couldn’t have done more to be accommodating and make us feel welcome. We were given upstairs and allowed to decorate however we wanted, and the food and drinks were top notch. Really casual and nice vibe. Would definitely recommend this place for food and drinks or for private events. Thank you!!!
