The Angel — Restaurant in England

Stayed in Durham for an overnight stay as my husband had an interview to go to in the morning. "Why don't you see if there is a bar that you might like" he said...."I doubt anyone has my style here, rock n roll may truly be dead" I said...NO! Said my google assistant Durham has EXACTLY what you need and you need to follow me this way.....my eyes widened, my heart rose into my throat and I felt that the gates of hell had opened for one such as I to venture into...THE ANGEL.

The toilets, well the men's are what I'd call a traditional punk/metal club affair! And as for the ladies......it's nicer but there's a bit of a surprise 😅

It felt very safe too.

Oh, it's up a pretty steep slope if you're coming from...

Used to be an awesome bar and obviously with coronavirus things have been difficult but every other bar in Durham can serve everyone in the bar. The angel cancel orders while people are still in the bar, doesn't let people know till you go up an ask and picks and chooses who they want to serve. Poor culture and poor and rude service. No standards that staff have to abide by. Also its always been very obvious staff serve friends before customers which has been perpetuated by...
