The Durham Castle Arms Pub sits at the Kingston Shops on Jardine Street in Kingston, one of Canberra's most popular precincts. With more than 1,000 reviews behind its 4.3 rating, it has built a strong following as a dependable local.
The appeal is a relaxed, characterful English-style pub — a great spot for a beer, a feed and a bit of atmosphere without any fuss. Kingston's lively dining scene, close to the lovely Kingston Foreshore and Lake Burley Griffin, makes it easy to fold a visit into a wider day or night out.
