We really enjoyed our visit in this lovely tavern,we managed to find a table up the stairs as others were leaving.Then 6 lovely ladies muscled in and we ended up on the end of the table!!! We had a great time with them and really enjoyed their company.some of them were drinking Guinness with TiaMaria in it.Proper fun girls on a binge and food outing,thank you ladies,xxx.

Bought a round of 4 drinks. Mine was an IPA which was warm. I had a couple of gulps but decided to take it back. I went to the bar and informed the Manager that the IPA didn’t taste right as it was warm and he informed me that, that’s the temperature it should be served!. I ask to change to Guinness and he proceeded to pour the Guinness and then ask for payment. I said I wanted a refund on the IPA to which he said I’d drank too much to warrant a refund. So I took a picture of the drink and said I would complain, as a result the Manger refused to serve me at all! Very poor customer service.

Really enjoyed our visit to the Market Tavern. Really friendly welcome and service from James when I went to the bar to order our food and drinks. The food took about 10 to 15 minutes to arrive and it was really nice . The only let down for me were the chips , they were ok but I was expecting thicker chunkier chips . The pub itself had a great feeling about it, with some real character a proper old fashioned pub.

Loved this authentic pub. Dog friendly. A miners theme. Such a friendly place. Met family there and the pub made sure we all were able to sit together. Special shout out to our bar man , James. He made all of us feel right at home

An OK pub, but on the pricier side for what it is.Atmosphere was a bit lacking. OK, entered in on a Monday night - it’s never going to be buzzing. But there was a few punters nipping in and out.Now I like a boozer where it’s comfortable, and that starts with the staff. Being honest, the staff on this night weren’t the most approachable in all honesty. A pub it supposed to have the bar propped with punters, but this was somewhat shunned slightly.A few basic simple requests were made by other punters that seemed like the largest challenges known to mankind for the staff at that point.Drinks quality was OK. Guinness was poured appropriately which is often overlooked in many places, so Kudos for that.I think this place serves food up to a point, but not late on, so it’s more of a boozer at night than a chain ‘pubstaurant’ (yeah, I made it up. Let’s see if it catches on). Footy was on several tellies, there’s a bandit right in the middle of the ground floor. Maybe if it went back to a more traditional boozer after 8pm it would feel more like a 4* than a 3.

The only bad thing I could say about this brilliant tavern is that it's a bit small, during busy times it may be difficult to get a table. Part of it's charm is the olde worlde style, said to be the second oldest pub in the city. Would love to know how old it is! Absolutely put in on your pub crawl.

After a spell of shopping, I felt like a nice pint of beer so went in and ordered a pint of Abbott ale. It was smashing really hit the spot. Shame I couldn't have more than one. Means I'll have to go back for more. Very good tavern, selling food and great beer, well Abbot ale anyway.

Called in for food and a drink Monday afternoon. It was fairly quiet. Nice convenient location next to the indoor market. The food was nice. The pub is quaint and oldie worldie with unusual music playing. The ladies toilet were down steps which were slightly difficult to get to. Bar staff were helpful and friendly. Used blue light card so it wasn't as expensive. My steak and ale pie was filling with the mash. My daughter loved her steak although it didn't look too much for the money and was supposed to be medium rare. All in all a lovely stop off though in the middle of a day out in Durham.
