👍👍 Great place! What an idea! I just loved it! You can see how much you poured and how much it costed you. So so many options to try! It has outside and inside seating areas. I was just amazed by the place and definitely recommend visiting if you are around.

Hi-Wire Brewing Durham
Brewery
🫤 Great beers, great location. WAY too many unsupervised kids. It’s terrible. I’d be more relaxed sitting in the middle of Mainstreet USA in Disney drinking a beer than sitting anywhere outside at Hi-Wire. It’s chaos. I know the brewery can’t technically control what goes on in the lawn, but due to th...

👍👍 Rock’s is the real deal! I have been going to this shop for 3+ years now and I have never once felt my stylist cut my hair wrong! Great location in the heart of downtown Durham with walking distant to restaurants and stores. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and best of all I always feel like a...

Durty Bull Brewing Company
Brewery
👍👍 Went here on a Sunday afternoon and it was a great time. We got flights and had fun doing trivia! They had lots of outdoor seating options with tents so the sun wasn’t in your face. The people were very friendly. They had a food truck parked in the parking lot which was nice. The parking was super e...

The Boot Room
Sandwich shop
👍👍 If you’re a soccer fanatic like myself, you MUST go and check this place out. The entire place screams football. From jerseys and scarfs, to framed pictures of football legends from all eras hanging on walls everywhere. I didn’t go there during a game but I can only imagine how would this place look...

Cocktail bar
👍👍 Found in the basement under Queeny’s is very swank Kingfisher. The bar is beautiful. Definitely sit at the bar if there is space. The Beefeater dirty martini is perfection.

The Shamrock House

👍👍 Surprised my parents on St. Patrick's Day with a little roadtrip to East Durham and even though it was the high holiday, we were seated and serves promptly. The food was delicious and the irish music by local musicians was jolly and fun!

Bralie's Sports Bar 2
Bar
👍 Dive bar with a casual atmosphere. Fun folks willing to chat. Bar tenders are sweet and attentive but they can get incredibly busy so it may take awhile to get service. Go ready to hang out and you’ll have a good time. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean

👍👍 This is such a great place! Very nice selection of their own brews as well as others. Their house bacon burger was perfectly prepared and tasted even better than it looked! I washed that down with a beer flight that did not disappoint at all. Icing on the cake? They gave me a beer on the house...

Bull City Solera and Taproom
Restaurant
👍👍 Funky place with good food and Bull City brews. Used to be a drive thru chick FIL a and they embraced that in turning it into their own place. Good burritos and the drinks are pretty good. Very basic cocktail menu and not a ton on tap but I expect that to get better as time goes on. Big outdoor sitt...

👍👍 This place was so swanky and nice. It’s seat yourself but they have waitresses that come by so you don’t have to wait at the bar. We went on a Saturday from 9-11 and were able to get a table. The drinks were like 13$ a piece for menu ones and about 7$ for simple common drinks. The drinks we got were...
