Jimmy Allens

THE ONLY PLACE FOR THE DREAMERS OF DREAMS! FREE ENTRY ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT

After closing down in January 2020, Jimmy Allens was re opened by married couple DJ Dave B and his wife who has become known as Mrs DJ Dave B. Previously a prison dating back to the early 1600's, Jimmy Allens derives it's name from the most notorious character to be incarcerated during it's history.

Good evening
As some of you may remember last summer we held our drink prices on house doubles and Woodgates even though supplier prices increased and now as another student year approaches we can confirm we will NOT be increasing prices for second year running on our house doubles , Woodgates and many more products. This is a thank you for the loyalty our customers have shown us.

The owners of Jimmy Allen’s announced their expansion into a second Durham venue in a post on Facebook.

The new club’s name is Fowlers, after the nearby Fowlers Yard, a set of artist studios set in former stables and warehouses which date back to the Victorian era. The owners told Palatinate they plan to open it in the run-up to Michaelmas 2024.

Fowlers will take over newly renovated premises on Back Silver Street, behind Durham’s Market Hall, just off Market Square. It replaces King Pong, formerly Wiff Waff — a ping pong bar and club. King Pong closed its doors in January 2024, sharing the news in a post on Facebook.
