Due to its pivotal role in European and world history, the Battle of Waterloo has a prominent place in military history and there are many memorials and places named after the battle (the present-day Durham Marriott Hotel Royal County used to be called the Waterloo Hotel). This refurbished hotel bar commemorates the famous battle, and enjoys a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. "1815" celebrates the best that Europe has to offer including Spanish tapas and beer, Pommery Champagne from France, the quintessentially English afternoon tea and hand-drawn real ales including an Indian Pale Ale (I.P.A.) produced specially for the bar by local microbrewery Sonnet 43. Thr bar boasts an impressive patio/champagne terrace.
