About The Drunken Duck
The Drunken Duck is an independent drinks den and 'Tree House Terrace' bar at 91-91a Claypath in the heart of Durham city. It trades on good music, good drinks and good times, with a spacious, lively layout, a pool table and a balcony beer garden. Live bands play every Friday night and the venue takes on more of a nightclub vibe as the evening goes on. The drinks list is extensive — speciality lagers, a broad beer range and zero-alcohol options. A solid choice for Friday-night live music in central Durham, a short walk from the city's other independent bars.
