Norse is a Scandinavian wine bar on Durham's Market Place, in the city centre a few minutes' walk from Durham Cathedral. Pull up a chair for a glass and a few Swedish small plates — tapas-style dishes like Toast Skagen, oak-smoked salmon, herring on toast and smoked venison, made to share. Perfect for lunch, an early evening drink or date night.

We're a wine shop too: over 100 wines line our walls, from classic Chablis to natural wines, every one available to drink in the bar or take home. No bookings — just walk in. Planning a birthday, graduation or Christmas party? Hire Norse privately.
