Fun and interesting wine list. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Pleasant chill vibes to hang. Was perfect on a weeknight when it was empty and chill. Almost felt like I was hanging out in my living room.

Killer Queen is an absolute gem in downtown Durham! When I was moving to NC, I worried if there would be wine bars that featured natural wines (my kryptonite) and Killer Queen does not disappoint! They have a fantastic rotating selection of White, Red, Rose, Orange, and Sparkling wines for you to enjoy. The ambiance is so cute and cozy; you feel as though you walked into your best friend's living room with plenty of counter seating to boot! Everyone that works here is so knowledgeable and friendly and willing to work with you until you find your perfect pour. There's also a small but mighty food menu equipped with charcuterie boards and warm chocolate chip cookies. When I tell you this place is one of my absolute favorites in Durham, believe me! Killer Queen for the win!

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.

A little noisy but we enjoyed dinner. I'm impressed with the wine selection, enjoyed the charcuterie. Go and pick your favorites.
Didn’t eat so I can’t speak to the food, but the beverage selection is great and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable!

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!!!
Solid!
