This is a gin joint. A Beautiful place. Hidden in the back of a distillery. The vibe lighting and vaporwave music alone make it a must visit. The drinks are gorgeous to look at and with a wide range of flavors to test any palette. Small bites menu nothing for a meal but enough to keep you sipping. Worth a try outside seating also available but at least take a look inside!

I went on a Wednesday evening to meet a friend. There was no trouble getting a table. I didn't try any food, but the service, the cocktails and the vibe was awesome. Perfect place to chat the night

Place is chill and neat and has a secret location vibe. Go around the back anddown the ramp in the parking lot in the area in the backside of the liquor shop. The drinks were very good and they don't skimp out on the liquor in the drinks either. Definitely give it a try next time you're in the area.

I recently went here with a large group (party of seven), and I thought that the service was truly fantastic! And the cocktails are excellent, of course.

Stumbled upon this place while bar hopping and so glad I did! The drinks were lovely & the ambiance was intimate & classy. Beautifully decorated for Christmas this time of year too. Had the s’mores martini (interestingly one of the only non-gin options on the menu) and it was delectable. They have lots of classic gin cocktails with plenty of niche cordials that most other bars don’t carry. If you like gin & are looking for a well-balanced cocktail, this is your spot.

They were decorated for Xmas, and it was so cozy and cool. Gin drinks, and all were fantastic.
Walked up the side of the durham distillery to find this gem of a coktail bar. It's named after probably the most forgotten classic of all time(next to the 20 century) the decore was seasonal for sure. A Christmas tree, poinsettias, string lights and wrapped presents. There was even a projector displaying snowfall to add to the asthetics. There were many people packed inside and on their insulted outdoor patio. Unfortunately I did wait 30 minutes for somone to take my drink order. One bartender cannot handle the volume you will need more staff to keep somone sitting for 30 minutes without taking the order is ridiculous. Is my time not worth anything to you? That's how the guest feels when they come to your bar. Prices are fair. Very dissapointing experience to say the least. There are way too many great bars in Durham to get stuck here. All in all I could only recomend this bar to immortals with infinite time and people who love to wait a long time for service. I ordered the psl milk punch. It was okay but def not worth the 30 minute wait. I'll have to come back on a much slower night and give it another shot all the waiting agitated me to the point where I'm not able to give a truly objective review. 1 round 1 hour and 30 dollars later what a total bummer. The bathrooms were decently clean and the bar does have purse hooks. The music is light and indie alternative/edm rock to encourage conversation. There's no real place to escape so probably not a good first or blind date spot. However if you know the person or group well you'll have a blast. I repeat 30 minutes to order and 20 minutes for the first drink. I never thought I would actually waste an hour of my life waiting for a cocktail. I did wait after I let one of the staff know it took me an hour to get the first drink he comped the bill and brought me a second one on the house. Obviously I was a bit upset at the wait sonI can't give them 5 stars. The cocktails are good tho so it's probably still worth the trip. I really do like this bar I just can't give ot 5 stars since I had to wait that long for service. When I come back on a slower night I'll try and update this review hopefully it's less than an hour next time. Great bar but def a bad night. The food is really good too. It's small and more of a bites menu than actual dinner.

A new regular spot for me for sure. It's got all the creepy cool vibes and historical background with some of the most expert cocktails I've had in Durham.A great little lounge under the Durham Distillery that features a variety of gin based cocktails (though they have more options than only gin).Music is not too loud, food was delicious, it was full but not overcrowded, and the staff was attentive and friendly without being over present. It was a perfect date night spot for us!

Staff are friendly, drinks are GREAT and atmosphere is cozy. Make sure you take the gravel path down behind the Durham Distillery to find this place. There are a few parking spots back there too so you don’t have to walk like we initially did. Highly recommend for a nice date night!Parking: Take the gravel path on the right side of the building. It goes down and behind Durham Distillery.
