Durty Bull is an excellent brewery. I had the rice lager and two hazy IPAs while there. All are excellent beers! There’s tons of outdoor seating but the main taproom area has a small cozy feel. The mojo of the place is great and it has a nice vibe overall. Craig, who was working, is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Lots of beers on tap and a good selection of to-go options. I’d definitely recommend this brewery.

This is an absolutely wonderful brewery! The beer was amazing.. we tried 9 beers and they were all so good! I have visited over 100 breweries in the last 3 years and they are easily in my top 3… super impressive! The staff was so friendly!!10/10

Really friendly staff, fun atmosphere, plentiful seating. Durty Bull often holds events like trivia, live music, and watch parties. There's always a food truck present if you're hungry. There are so many beer options. I've been on a gluten free journey lately, so I'm pleased to say that their house hard seltzers are really great!

Went there with a friend to talk over a few beers, and the food truck parked in the patio with a very loud generator was so obnoxious it was impossible to stay. We asked but the management wouldn't do anything about it. Not going back!
Excellent vibe with outdoor seating, old school games and huge space. Highly recommended

Great beer. A strategizing of diversions. Live music events. You could do far worse than stopping by this place for a drink. Walking distance to many other places, so I would highly recommend giving it a try.

The drinks: there's a large overhanging chalkboard menu with amusing drink makes. However, there's not much info of what's in them or the prices. To get that info is less obvious in that you have to walk up to the counter to see a couple laminated menus with all the description you could want. Drinks range from $7-$8. Even then being an alcohol newb I got lost in the options. Helpfully though the barista listened to what I wanted and offered me a sample in a shooter cup. I asked for something sour, fruity and popular, and got a passion fruit drink which did get me tipsy as a lightweight. The cub was tall and slim like a flute. The flavor was nicely balanced between sour and fruity, like if you took the natural sourness of lilikoi passion fruit up a couple notches. As someone who has lived in Hawaii, I approved. Location: Durty Bull Brewing Company is a bit of a Frankenstein indoor outdoor location. It's located outside of the bustling shop area in a bit of a residential zone which is quieter. The whole sector has an industrial turned upscale pub, but Durty Bull has the feeling of being a few years from that. Definitely has more of a neighborhood community center/frat house vibe than anything posh. Which it so happens I prefer. The issue with this is that there is some infrastructure issues to iron out. Issues: The expanded outside seems like a response to the complaints of the humid inside. It is a concern as the space inside is tight with people congregating under the air conditioner which also happens to be in front of the enter/exit door. And i was there at night when it was 74 degrees outside! The outside was actually preferable to being inside. The floor plan in general isn't my favorite, as it did seem like the relatively small interior space, various leftover walls and makeshift elongated walkway could lend itself to spilled drinks. Maybe the steel walkway is a response to such concerns to even out traffic flow. It's good that the owners are listening to complaints, as the open mic comedy special being outdoors seemed like a new thing. I didn't mind standing with a beer outside, though there was several types of picnic tables underneath tents and a food truck.Overall: Durty Bull Brewing Company definitely passed the vibe check for me. I liked the drink and the willingness to laugh that the patrons had. The area felt safe to be drunk in (there was even a lady with a baby strapped to her). $7 is more than I really want to spend on a drink, but at least I can say here there is an honest effort, and the atmosphere is there, in its crude, down home way.

There are several breweries to choose from in Durham, this is one of the good ones. They have several great beers on tap and so live music and trivia throughout the month.

Our favorite Durham brewery - plenty of outdoor seating, and they have good seltzers and slushies. They have some games inside and lots of live music/events.
