Xavier was great! I’ve only been to the Raleigh location, but I’m glad that I came here because they actually have a food menu and many options for seating and great party space with arcade games and Photo Booth! Plus, a great outdoor seating and great prices for shots ;)

PS sorry my camera is damaged :/

Fantastic place. Plenty of indoor table seating and a huge bar with seating also. Clouds Brewing in Durham offers a huge selection of craft beers, including their own and guest taps, The German-inspired menu, arcade games, and patio make it an excellent spot in Brightleaf Square.
