I was a big fan of The Accordion Club back when it was still around and was quite sad when it closed. BUT it has been reborn as Old North Bar and WOW! Still has a lot of the same vibe as Accordion... but it's even better now. The cocktails are top notch and the prices are great. The bartenders are super nice and attentive. More seating than before. The Low Life special is, well, pretty special. Everybody seemed to having a really great time last night. The energy of the place is great.

They do some food pop ups like Hotdogs! 5 stars just for that but not kitchen on site. Awesome bar staff and a great beer selection with lots of variety. Really diverse cocktail menu as well

I have adjusted my review, back the second night different bar tenders much better service. I don’t normally leave bad reviews but it’s a shame when bar tenders are not great with service :(

The return of a neighborhood favorite! A drink for any palette. Cozy and friendly with one of the best patios in Durm.

Old North is simply the best. Awesome drinks, cold beer, hot dogs, good vibes. Long live Old North.
Also, shout out to the Pickletini.

My wife and I stumbled across this and we are happy we did! Any bar that’s focal point is the people instead of the TVs is a win for me, and the great cocktails were just the cherry on top 🍸

What a unique combination of a dive bar and a cocktail bar. Few places in the state offer such a value with the level of expertise.
I was given friendly service and recommended bespoke cocktails based on my personal taste. Truly a great experience and a place to elevate the charming district of Old North Durham.
This space has been done redone beautifully! A very cozy space with great options. The hot dogs are a great bonus!

If you’re looking for your new “third place,” this is it! Old North Bar combines an elevated yet relaxed atmosphere with an excellent selection of craft cocktails - perfect for meeting friends and catching up while you explore downtown Durham. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable about their work and very kind, which elevates the experience even more. Old North Bar is a must-visit stop on your next adventure in downtown!
