Craft House in Bishop Auckland

Ah, Craft House is one of those hidden gems in Bishop Auckland that you hear about from mates and think, 'I need to give that a go.' From the reviews, it's clear the place has a cracking atmosphere with music that's just the ticket for a fun evening – nothing too over the top, but enough to keep things lively. The staff really shine through; stories of them going above and beyond, like helping out in a pinch, make it feel like a proper community hub. And if you're partial to a good pint, their selection of beers, especially those Goose Island ones, is spot on, all at prices that won't leave you feeling short-changed. It's even a bonus that it's dog-friendly, perfect for a relaxed catch-up. On the downside, not everyone's vibing with the music or the brews, and it's a shame they stick to just coffee without any food or tea options – might not be the full package for a longer session. Still, with such high praise overall, it's worth popping in if you're after a straightforward, enjoyable spot to unwind.
