Three Bridges Durham is launching a student club night every Wednesday

£250,000 has been invested into the Durham pub that will become a student club on Wednesday nights

| UPDATED

Three Bridges Durham is undergoing a £250,000 renovation this September, with plans in place to transform the venue into a nightclub setting with live music at night.

Three Bridges Durham will still be serving food from 9:30am until 9pm every day of the week and remains as a pub, but one that is able to adapt into a nightclub atmosphere.

Wednesday night is expected to be the primary student night – Three Bridges Durham have licensing that permits the sale of alcohol until 1:3oam, meaning that they can compete with conventional nightclubs where licensing ends just 30 minutes later at 2am.

Monday night will be quiz night, Thursday night will be live music night and Sunday will be an open mic night. Friday and Saturday nights are expected to run on the concept of “blending” – a combination of both live singers and DJ’s who will rotate and play a variety of music throughout the evening.

Entry to Three Bridges Durham remains free of charge and drink prices remain consistent: Doubles with mixer cost £4.50, while pints of Moretti cost £2.75 (£2.50 0n a Wednesday). Wednesday night will see a student discount which means that Three Bridges Durham will play host to one of the cheapest pints in the city.

Three Bridges Durham are looking to appeal to sports teams and societies on Wednesday nights, with a spokesperson telling The Tab: “One of our incentives is that when teams sign up with us, 25 pence of everything their members buy will go into a pot that they can use twice a year.

“If they come regularly, that can really add up and is a nice opportunity to have a Christmas meal or an extra social with their mates for them and a nice way for us to give back to the students who support us.”

Three Bridges Durham is expected to open its doors towards the end of Freshers’ Week, with a current proposed opening date of Wednesday 2nd October.

Three Bridges Durham issued the following statement: “Three Bridges Durham will implement several key improvements, including the installation of state-of-the-art lighting and the creation of a new stage area for live music performances.

“The renovation will also feature redesigned seating areas and an upgraded outdoor garden space, providing a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere for locals. Additionally, new dartboards will be installed to boost the Three Bridges pub sport offering.

“We are thrilled to start work on renovating to Three Bridges Durham and know they will significantly enhance the experience for our customers.
“Our goal is to create a vibrant and welcoming environment where people can enjoy great food, drinks, and entertainment. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in October to see the transformation.”
