Seven County Durham pubs and bars looking for new landlords this month
We have listed seven pubs across the county that are looking for someone to take over the lease, according to findmypub.com.
From venues that specialise in pub grub, to boozers a stone's throw from a train station, the seven pubs and bars in this list are worth checking out if you are looking to get involved in running such an establishment.
Bridge Hotel, Durham
The Bridge Hotel is located right on the exit junction from Durham railway station, making it a perfect location for pre-travel pints.
It's also across the road from award-winning pub the Station House which picked up more Camra awards this week.
It comes complete with a large kitchen and eight letting rooms. Annual rent is £53,715.

This pub is one of two in the whole village of Witton Gilbert, meaning it has the potential to attract large footfall from nearby residents.
Since it is also on a bus route out of Durham, it is also frequented by professionals from the city as well as families and elderly residents of the village.
Annual rent is listed at £45,129.
(Image: Google)Golden Lion, Sedgefield
Located not far from Sedgefield Racecourse, The Golden Lion is described as having 'sports at its core' and is set apart from other pubs in the area that are more food-oriented.
Guests are said to 'love' the sports area at the back which is described as 'spacious' and has a pool table and darts.
Annual rent is £26,500.
(Image: Google)The Wellington, Wolviston
Described as a traditional pub with 'cosy interiors and rustic touches that reflect its history', The Wellington hosts several community events which it is known for in the community.
Annual rent is £60,000 and a deposit of £15,000 is required to run the pub.
(Image: Google)The Station, Langley Moor
Just outside of Durham city, Langley Moor is a popular village. The Station Inn is located on the main road so is in an advantageous position for footfall.
The main bar area is a mixture of low-level loose seating with TVs on the walls showing live sports, a darts board, and a small stage area for live music.
Annual rent is £10,400.
(Image: Google)Brawns Den, Brandon
This pub 'has to be seen to be believed' according to a listing on findmypub.com. It is located in Brandon, a village on the outskirts of Durham city. It underwent a huge investment and was completely transformed in 2017.
Annual rent is £15,000.
(Image: Google)Lambton Arms Hotel, Chester-le-Street
Described as a 'bustling town centre pub', the Lambton Arms shows live sports as well as having its own food offering. Landlords are looking for someone who can deliver a high-quality menu to match the busy nature of the pub.

A deposit of £3,000 will be needed.

Figma stock went to the moon after its IPO. Some Robinhood users say they could only buy 1 share
Figma's initial public offering this week was a boon for investors. Well, some investors. Emotionally intelligent people use the 2-week rule to motivate themselves and reach their biggest goals Other countries are stepping up after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the climate fight Exclusive: Google is indexing ChatGPT conversations, potentially exposing sensitive user data When shares of the design software startup started trading on Thursday, they immediately went to the moon. After being priced at $33, the stock closed at $115.50 a share, an increase of around 250%. That meant some serious returns for investors, at least the ones who were able to get in on the action. But complaints and reports surfaced yesterday among some Robinhood users who say missed out, as they were not able to purchase as much Figma stock as they would've liked. Several users took to social media to air their grievances, claiming that they had tried to buy many Figma shares when they hit the market via Robinhood, but were only granted a single share. For instance, one user, posting on X, claimed to receive only one share after requesting 3,000. The issue sparked a number of memes throughout the day on Thursday as Figma's blockbuster IPO dominated financial headlines. It may have happened because Robinhood, like other trading platforms, only receives a certain number of shares when a company goes public. 'We receive a limited number of shares for each IPO,' reads an article from Robinhood's support team. 'We use the number of shares, customer demand, and other factors to determine how many shares you'll get. You may get the full number of shares you requested, a partial amount, or none at all.' So Robinhood does make it fairly clear that just because a user is requesting shares, it doesn't mean that they'll necessarily get them. In this case, as demand outstripped supply—likely exceedingly so—the company may have had to divvy the stock out accordingly, regardless of how many users actually requested. Fast Company has reached out to Robinhood for comment and clarification. A few days before Figma's listing on Thursday, Bloomberg reported that its IPO was approaching 40 times oversubscribed, reflecting what was largely expected to be enormous demand for the stock. Robinhood has drawn the ire of users in the past due to concerns around the limited trading of certain stocks. Notably, it happened in 2021, when the platform restricted purchases of GameStop and AMC shares (among others) during the so-called meme stock rally. But the Figma IPO is perhaps another example of how retail investors, relative to institutional investors, can end up getting the short end of the stick. There may not be much that investors can do about that, but for those who missed out on Figma's IPO price, it's a reminder that access to the markets—as a retail investor using a trading app or platform—may not be as unfettered or democratic as we'd like to think. Figma shares opened even higher on Friday, at one point hitting close to $143. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter: Sign in to access your portfolio

Elon Musk's long history of having a short fuse and burning through friends and relationships: ‘he busts up with everybody'
Become friends with Elon Musk and, likely, the clock will be ticking. Characters as diverse as Silicon Valley tech moguls and Canadian alt-pop singer Grimes have all entered his personal orbit before later screeching out again, usually followed by some degree of scorched earth via social media. There is no greater example than Musk's relationship with now-President Donald Trump. Everyone knew the richest man in the world would fall out with the most powerful, but few predicted it would happen so quickly — just six months after the inauguration. 'He is prone to lash out,' admitted Faiz Siddiqui, author of 'Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk,' to The Post. 'He is insulated and can make his point.' Advertisement Regardless of how sharp the point may be, Musk can shed a friend and walk away unscathed. 15 Elon Musk has been known to bring disagreements to X and to comment publicly. Getty Images 'He has an army, the largest following on X [the social media platform], that will back him.' Advertisement Here then is a sampling of former friends, colleagues and loved ones who once embraced Musk, only to later feel the burn. Larry Page Google co-founder Larry Page and Elon Musk were so chummy Musk routinely crashed at Page's home. Fortune included the pair in a story about 'eight business leaders you didn't know were BFFs.' But things fell apart when Musk hired a top scientist away from Google in 2015. Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, paid Ilya Sutskever $1.9 million to head up its new lab. According to 'Musk,' by Walter Isaacson, the poaching ended their friendship. 'Larry felt betrayed and was really mad at me,' Musk told Isaacson in the book. 'He refused to hang out with me anymore.' Advertisement 15 Larry Page of Google fell out with Elon Musk after Musk poached one of his employees. AFP/Getty Images Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt It's hard to imagine the world's richest man in a childish spat with an online gaming streamer. But that was the situation with Musk and Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt. Like other professional gamers, Asmongold watched Musk playing 'Path of Exile 2' on a livestream. Following common sentiment, he alleged Musk paid other people to play for him, which is called 'boosting.' Apparently insulted by the allegation, Musk unfollowed Asmongold and removed his blue checkmark from X. In response, Asmongold posted a YouTube video called 'Elon Musk has Lost It.' Advertisement Musk went on to push out private direct messages between them. Forbes summed up the fallout by noting about Musk, 'He may not really have time to beef with Twitch streamers … Yet, here we are.' 15 The gamer Zack 'Asmongold' Hoyt saw his relationship with Elon Musk fizzle after he accused Musk of boosting a computer game. Asmongold/ X Justine Wilson Justine Wilson was married to Musk from 2000 to 2008. She watched him become a billionaire and bore six children (one of whom died tragically at 10 weeks due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). She later described herself as a 'starter wife.' Musk, according to Wilson, told her, 'If you were my employee, I would fire you.' After eight years and three sessions of couple's counseling, Musk filed for divorce. During two years of litigation – which Musk said cost him $4 million – she rallied for their house in Bel Air, 10 percent of his Tesla shares, 5 percent of his SpaceX shares, $6 million and a glacier blue Tesla Roadster. But thanks to a prenup, Wilson said, 'I had effectively sold away all my rights as a married person.' She wound up with far less than the billions won by other tech divorcees like Bill Gates' ex Melinda French and Jeff Bezos' firs wife, MacKenzie Scott. While Forbes estimates Wilson's wealth at $18 million, they also estimate she would have $17.3 billion had she received the settlement requested. 15 Elon Musk and Justine Wilson when they were still married to one another. Justine Musk Advertisement 15 Had Elon Musk given ex-wife Justine Wilson what she asked for in their divorce, Wilson would be a billionaire today. AFP via Getty Images Vivian Jenna Wilson Originally name Zavier, Vivian Jenna Wilson was born male, to Musk and Justine, along with a twin sister, in 2004. Responding to Vivian's transgender identity, Musk publicly maintained that his offspring was 'not a girl' and described them as being 'dead' to him. Vivian went to a California court to change their name and distance themselves from their father. 'I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,' Vivian stated in the filing. 15 Vivian Jenna Wilson told a California court that she no longer wishes 'to be related to my biological father.' Vivian Jenna Wilson/TikTok Philip Low Advertisement After meeting Elon Musk socially in 2011, neuroscientist Philip Low, who had been a test subject for Stephen Hawking, became fast friends with the Silicon Valley mogul. Soon after, Low launched a company called NeuroVigil, which boasted a non-invasive device for brain monitoring. Musk invested and joined the board. In 2021, according to Politico, Musk – who had his own brain implant company, Neuralink – wanted to resign from the other company's advisory board. Not wanting him to exercise his stock options, which could significantly hurt Neurovigil, Low fired him. He sent an email to Musk, warning, 'Don't f—k with me.' Advertisement According to Politico, Low '[cast Musk] as obsessive, prone to seeking revenge, power hungry and in constant search of dominance.' 15 Philip Low warned Musk 'don't f–k with me' when he started making noise about exiting his brain implant start-up. Martin Eberhard In 2003, Martin Eberhard was one of two co-founders who incorporated Tesla. Elon Musk invested in the company and, one year later, became chairman. Musk was later recognized as a cofounder, following a lawsuit. 'That was a side issue and it got sorted out,' Siddiqui told The Post. The falling out has more to do with Musk 'claiming that he was almost solely responsible for the company.' Advertisement It doesn't help that Musk ousted Eberhard from his CEO post in 2007, according to Business Insider. Musk has since described Eberhard as 'by far the worst person I've ever worked with in my entire career.' In 2009, Eberhard sued Musk for defamation. Though the suit was settled out of court, in Isaacson's Musk bio, Eberhard does marvel, 'This is the richest man in the world beating on someone who can't touch him.' 15 Martin Eberhard wonders why 'the richest man in the world' would be 'beating on someone who can't touch him.' AP Sam Harris Disagreeing with Elon Musk might not be a good way to foster a friendship with him. The neuroscientist Sam Harris discovered this the hard way. Harris and Musk first became acquainted in 2008. They fell out in 2020 when Musk tweeted 'the coronavirus panic is dumb.' Harris has claimed that he asked Musk to 'walk back' from the position. 'There was a question about Musk weighing in on something that he does not have the expertise to weigh in on,' said Siddiqui. 'Is that putting people at risk?' Harris claimed Musk bet $1 million with him that there would be no more than 35,000 COVID-19 cases in America. If the number exceeded 35,000 Harris would be paid $1 million, to go to a charity. If it did not, Musk would get a $10,000 bottle of tequila. Harris obviously won. But did the million materialize? His texts went unanswered. Since then, via X, Musk called Harris 'mentally ill.' 15 Neuroscientist Sam Harris claims that musk lost a $1 million bet to him and did not pay it. YouTube/ Recode Harris said there is 'something seriously wrong with [Musk's] moral compass.' Grimes The singer whose real name is Claire Boucher was romantically involved with Elon Musk from 2018 until 2021. They have three children with unique names: X AE A-XII (aka, X), Exa (aka, Y) and Techno Mechanicus. There have also been suits and countersuits over custody. In February 2025, Grimes posted to X Musk should respond to a 'medical crisis' involving one of their children. When somebody questioned her taking a private situation to social media, she replied, 'If I have to apply public pressure then I guess that's where we're at.' X accompanied Musk when he met with President Trump in the Oval Office. Grimes allegedly posted to X she does 'not approve that in every conceivable way … I am desperate to solve it … But currently I don't know how to do it.' 15 Grimes went to X to ask Elon Musk to respond to a 'medical crisis' involving one of their children. Getty Images Sam Altman In 2015, Musk, Altman and others founded artificial intelligence company OpenAI as a non-profit. It then launched its for-profit arm, ChatGPT. Musk and Altman then fell out over the direction of the company. 'Musk wanted OpenAI to hold onto this idea that it is a non-profit,' said Siddiqui. 'Like that it would be for the good of humanity.' When Musk moved to buy OpenAI, Altman, 40, accused the tech billionaire of being in 'a position of insecurity,' adding 'I feel bad for the guy.' He also recently told The Post: 'Elon busts up with everybody, that's what he does,' the 40-year-old golden boy behind ChatGPT told The Post. Musk has taken to referring to Altman as 'Scam Altman.' 15 X, standing in front of Elon Musk, is his child who accompanied him to the White House. Getty Images 15 Regarding his former partner Elon Musk, Sam Altman said, 'I feel bad for the guy.' REUTERS Jack Dorsey Dorsey co-founded micro-blogging site Twitter, which Musk eventually bought and re-named X. In 2022 as the deal was about to go through, Dorsey went so far to say he had faith in Musk's 'mission to extend the light of consciousness.' But once in place, Musk made job cuts, changes in policy and the name change. By 2023, Dorsey was saying Twitter 'went south' after his purchase. 15 Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey claimed that the site 'went south' after Elon Musk took it over. Getty Images Peter Thiel Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have known each other long enough for their relationship to be complicated. In 2000, they combined their respective banking companies to create PayPal. By 2025, it's been a bit of a roller coaster. According to Thiel biography 'The Contrarian,' the two men realized their differences early on. Soon after the merger, Musk crashed his million dollar McLaren while driving Thiel to a meeting. Thiel, according to the book's author, saw Musk as reckless. Musk viewed Thiel as profit driven. Following the merge, while Musk was on his honeymoon, Thiel and his loyalists pushed Musk out of his CEO spot. But the grudge didn't hold. After all, when Musk's SpaceX was going through choppy times in 2008, Thiel provided a $20 million investment that set the company right — and its rocket entered orbit on its next attempt. Though they have called one another unflattering names – according to Business Insider, Musk regards Thiel as 'a sociopath' and Thiel views Musk as 'a fraud' – Siddiqui sees common ground. 'I think philosophically they are largely aligned,' he said. 'In the political arena, they have advocated for a lot of the same policies.' 15 Peter Thiel is said to view Musk as 'a fraud' while Musk is said to view Thiel as a 'sociopath.' AP Vernon Unsworth Sometimes two people try to do the right thing and it goes terribly sideways. Such was the case when Elon Musk and British caver Vernon Unsworth pitched in to save 12 boys trapped in a waterlogged Thai cave system for 15 days. Musk sent engineers from Tesla and a mini submarine to the site. Unsworth took a more traditional approach, finding skilled cave divers and dispatching them to where the boys – members of a Thai soccer team – were trapped. Musk's vessel never got used and Unsworth dubbed it a PR stunt, suggesting that he 'stick his submarine where it hurts.' Musk entertained his 30 million followers on X by dubbing the diver 'pedo guy' in a since deleted tweet. 15 Vernon Unsworth, who helped save the Thai kids trapped in a cave, sued Elon Musk for defamation. The legal action was unsuccessful. AP Unsworth sued for defamation Musk insisted that, in his native South Africa, 'pedo guy' is a common phrase. The kids were saved, Musk was found not guilty of defamation. Musk's lawyer stated the obvious in his summing up: 'In arguments, you insult people.'
