Returned here one year after my first date with my boyfriend and got stopped by the owner (or manager) saying they were closed after hosting a private event. My boyfriend explained why we were there and he ended up letting us come in for a drink while they were closing down! I appreciate the gesture and the service! Good date spot in Durham -
Been here several times. Always a lot of fun. Great outdoor seating and plenty of room inside. Last time I was here we had a party of 20 people. The service was great! The food was very good as well. I had the dirty heaven sandwich and it was great! Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and beer. Also tried the buffalo dip which was good but the portion was a little on the smaller side. They have their own beers, which are good, but also carry other brands.

We came here as a group, we ordered many different things. The food was alright. We probably would have come back to watch sports often but the service was the worst. I ordered the cloud burger without mustard. When it arrived, the mustard was clearly visible. When I pointed it out to our waitress, she said that is mayo. I said I see the mayo but there is also clearly mustard here. She said it was cheese?? And just left. Then my friends ordered the same beer and got two different drinks (photo so that you can see). When we asked what drinks these are she said “what you ordered” we said yeah but we ordered the same thing twice. She said they are the same, it’s just the lighting making them look different?? I also asked for some mayo to go with my fries which never came. Neither did my sweet tea drink. I understand that staff can be overwhelmed for whatever reason (although over half the place was empty when we arrived) BUT she was actually gaslighting us and making stuff up. We could not believe what happened. Would not recommend because of this. 👎🏻

I visited for the first time this Sunday (08/23/26) and my server was Carley, who was working the bar. She helped me pick out the last beer for my flight and suggested a smallish bite to eat.
I love the spurs and ciders she recommended and the giant pretzel was just what I needed. The atmosphere was great for my visit—as it was slow and I needed to study.
The service made it 10x more accommodating and made me feel less like a burden for taking up an entire table with law textbooks.
Great place that hires great people! Shoutout to Carley!!! -
Great from start to finish! Hubby had a couple of brews and a Caesar salad. I had the Spring salad with added shrimp. I also got a side of German potato salad, which is hands down the best I've ever had! Both salad were large with fresh ingredients. It was a fun atmosphere and didn't feel rushed. Even though we are only here for a short vacation, I plan to go back because it is that fantastic!
