This is a really cute place with a great vibe. The food was fresh and delicious. Please note they have more of a small plates menu. I could tell the server was new, but she provided good service. If you are even in the area, it's worth stopping by. This place is located across the street from the DPAC.
A great place for a pre or post show drink when going to DPAC (unless you go on Sunday because they're closed that day). Great vibes and the cocktails are incredible, with a rotating menu every few months so you get to try new drinks frequently! They've expanded their food menu but it's still usually more small plates but anything we've ever gotten have been great. Charcuterie boards there are usually really nice! Limited seating and when they're busy it can sometimes take a while to get orders put in, but for the most part everything there runs smoothly. I enjoy sitting at the bar so that I can watch them make the drinks, especially the smoked cocktails! And their themed menus and special events are a lot of fun! We recently went to their Grinch pop-up and it was super cute!
My husband and I dropped by on Wednesday night - cocktails, food and service were pretty good! Removing one star because of extremely strong bleach smell throughout the whole bar. It was unexpected and definitely ruining the vibe. At the same time hopefully it will be easy to fix (and switch to some milder products), we will give it another chance in the nearest future
The bartenders and host(s) make the place stand out in the crowd, and the ambience is very nice too. Their knowledge of drinks and hospitality is high caliber. Greatly skilled and kind people serving great drinks. Pictured is the yummy cocktail named Apollonia. I call it “Blueberry Yum Yum,” but that’s just me. They will know what you mean though. I much appreciate the noise filtering accomplished by the sound absorption panels. They’re a nice discreet touch to the ceiling for someone like myself who doesn’t appreciate excessive noises sometimes.
I stopped in with a friend after a show at DPAC, and it was a perfect drink/dessert spot. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, and the comfy green chairs are a whole vibe! Will definitely go back next time I’m in Durham! *Update*: went back and had great bar service- highly recommend the pimento cheese dip!
