What a beautiful little space!! The vibes are immaculate, great recommendations, delicious food and wine of course. The olives and charcuterie of choice (3 for $24 was just right for 3 of us) are a perfect compliment to whatever you're drinking. It was a delight to spend time with friends there.

Majesty was absolutely fantastic. He was so down to earth, friendly, funny, went out of his way to make sure we had the best wine and time, recommended great charcuterie pairings, and curated the best atmosphere. We will most definitely be back and cannot recommend this place enough if you want a funky, friendly, eclectic wine bar.

Awesome wine list, awesome decor, amazing staff. Service in Durham has gotten so bad.. bartenders are frankly rude most of the time. These people are delightful, and so happy to help you find wine you love. I’ve been twice this week 😍🙏

We were looking for a place to blow off steam after a wild week and we accidentally got stuck in Durham. I told my partner I just need a glass of wine and he found this place.
Wow! This place is a gem. The atmosphere was cozy, arty, hip and felt like a home you don’t ever want to leave. Lee, our sommelier, expertly explained their unusual wines and we partook. We also got a charcuterie board and left it up to the chef to create. It was wonderful!
Thank you Lee and Killer Queen for a lovely Monday night.

Awesome place. Tucked away, but worth the find. Leigh served me, and I can’t say enough about her! Knowledgeable, refined palate, and lived in Seattle (sorry, a little biased).
Whatever recipe they’re using here to cook up success and this wonderful atmosphere, DO NOT CHANGE IT!

Friendliest, most welcoming staff! I've been here a handful of times and loved it every time. I felt compelled to write a review this time because this team deserves kudos for their kindness to patrons and knowledge of products. The ambiance is insatiable and the wine/heavy appetizers are delicious. These days a lot of the service industry have suffered and we give grace to those who have off days. However....you can never tell any off days at KQ. Consistent open arms here. Best vibe!!!

Guys at the bar are awesome, woman with tattoos tonight was rude and when I paid with cash she told me she didn’t know how much my drink cost and would bring me change. Preceded to disappear and have someone else bring my drink over and never returned with change. I guess she assumed her own tip? Cool vibe but watch out for the lady bartender
The best wine bar around! They carry a unique variety of wines, including some natural wines which are hard to find in the US, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing (if it's a nice day sit on the patio!!), and everyone who works here is so nice and helpful! A must when in Durham!

We love Killer Queen soooooo much. We try to go every time we're in Durham and I've never had a wine there I don't enjoy.The staff are amazing and the vibes are on point. Not sure you're going to like something: they'll let you try it out.Chat with the bar staff, tell them what you like and they'll help you find your next favorite wine.

The cutest wine spot in Durham. We barely talked because we were so enamored by the decor and artifacts on the wall! We will definitely be back and hopefully we won’t be so shocked that a place like this exists and we’ll actually CHAT! ?
