Even before we moved down to NC almost a year ago, our friends who live down here introduced us to this place. We enjoyed our first visit and have come back at least once a weekend or every other weekend. The staff, music, ambience and crowd is great.
Perfect place for a celebration, catchup date, or simply a random party with the community. It's the perfect blend of intimate and urban, rooftop and cozy, stylish and warm and welcoming to all.
Food just keeps getting better, cheese board is especially nice: pretty, fresh and tasty.
If cocktails are your thing, I think this is the funnest place in Durham.

Far and away one of my favorite places to take people in Durham when they visit us. Everyone who works there is so friendly. Their inside is cozy and decorated festive depending on season. Their rooftop is great and as a bonus, they offer blankets for when it gets cold. Limited food menu but what I've eaten has been good (I'm not personally going here to eat though) I'm going for their fun drinks, both cocktails and mocktails, and the view.
