This is such a cute place! It was my first time coming here and we were greeted right away by the owner and seated. (I think he was the owner). Our table was in a nice private nook. The decor is very interesting and along with the music, makes you feel like you could be in Ireland haha. Our server Alisha was very friendly and efficient. We tried the 'scabby leg' and the 'tinkers red' beers and they were both good. I got the liver and onions which was really good, and a huge portion, I had leftovers for the next day. Also, the bread that came with the meal was DELICIOUS! My husband got the Dublin Lawyer lobster roll meal, and our friends got the curry and the fish and chips. They all liked their meals as well. Great experience and will 100% be back sometime.

Delicious, authentic Irish menu with ample portion sizes. Their servers are on the ball and their selection of self brewed beers are amazing as well.

My friends and family were celebrating St. Patrick's as well as my birthday. I had been there before with a couple of my friends but for the rest of our group of 10 it was their first time and I think they were all impressed. The food was good and our waitress, Aleisha, was amazing. The banjo player from the band even accompanied everybody in singing Happy Birthday. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if we could have heard the band but with such a large group, we had to sit in the back of the restaurant. Maybe next year we will come with a smaller group and sit in the front.

We snagged a table here on St. Patrick’s Day - albeit we chose to sit out on the heated patio and got caught in a hail storm haha! But, it added to the fun, honestly. The kids thought it was awesome.The food was fantastic - had the Guinness stew which came with soda bread, mashed potatoes and veg. My son had the kids pasta with tomato sauce (shocker) - he gobbled it up in seconds.The service was excellent despite how busy it was.The only consideration for people is if the weather is quite chilly or unpredictable - choose to sit inside if you are not prepared for the elements! Again, we chose to sit outside so this is in no way a criticism of the restaurant.Have been to Walsh’s Snug many times but probably over a decade ago when my friend was living in Newcastle - just as fantastic now as it was then.Worth the stop if you’re travelling through Newcastle, that’s for sure!

Really enjoyed our visit. The restaurant was fully reserved, but had a few spots open for 4-6 at the bar. We had no reservations but was able to sit at the bar.Had the Batter Burger... so good! Highly recommended it. Their amber beer was also worth stopping in.Highly recommended calling and reserving a table, they had to turn away a few couples due to being full.

Amazing little spot. Food is exceptional. I always have trouble deciding because everything is sooooo good. I love the lamb burger. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding is a must. It's usually devoured before the plate hits the table. Good luck getting a picture.Service is wonderful. They are great with our toddler. They are always accommodating, friendly and engaging.Atmosphere is completely different to anywhere you've been. There is so much stuff to look at that it creates unique conversation.10/10 dining experience. A must visit in Durham.
