24 North Bailey... the Union Society Bar
Sunday - Thursday 7.30pm - 11.30pm
Friday & Saturday 7.30pm - 12am
The Union Society's very own bar, situated at 24 North Bailey in the centre of town, hosts many of the Union's social events. It's also one of the Durham's best bars and is a key feature in any night out on the Bailey. Offering a great range of cocktails, shooters and imported beers - surpassing most other student bars - 24 has a unique atmosphere. Recently refurbished and with its own beer garden, this is a fantastic place to drink all year round.
Events at 24 North Bailey
The Snooker Tournament
The snooker room has been the scene of many a memorable tournament; it is also the only full size snooker in the University which can be used free of charge.
Details are still being confirmed, but the tournament will be open to all for a small entrance fee with the winner taking the pot. Matches will be played throughout Epiphany.

The beer garden is open every term and is the perfect place to enjoy Pimm's with friends. Annually, we host a summer garden party, with music, free drinks and often a bouncy castle! Full details will be made available nearer the time.
