American-inspired cocktail bar and restaurant chain, Fridays, has announced the location of its first eatery in County Durham.
The restaurant will join a host of other names at Durham’s open-air plaza, The Riverwalk, and will be the centre's eighth restaurant, opening its doors to the public from 3pm December 16.
Fridays Durham will sit within a 6,000 sq. ft unit in Durham’s historic city centre, creating 70 new jobs in the process.

The new restaurant, which follows Fridays' recent opening of its Barnsley restaurant, is creating 70 jobs for people in the Durham area.
The Riverwalk opened after a £30m investment and already boasts established restaurant favourites Turtle Bay, Pizza Punks and Cosy Club, amongst others.
Julie McEwan, chief operating officer of Fridays, said: “We are so pleased to be ending 2022 on such a high note by celebrating the opening of our newest restaurant just in time for Christmas.
"Durham is a city rich in history and culture, and with Fridays being a brand where honouring our heritage is a significant part of our offering, we feel that the match couldn’t be more ideal.
"We look forward to opening our doors to the people of Durham and encouraging them to ‘show their stripes’, whatever they may be, while wowing them with memorable service alongside our favourite Fridays classics.
"From our famous burgers and legendary chicken strips to our vegan fajitas and Pornstar Martinis, guests will be spoiled for choice”.
