I am looking forward to my fellow Tigers coming to town and painting Durham ORANGE this weekend! The attached document includes the same info but includes hyperlinks to everything.

Durham Fun Spots

Disclaimer: There are many great restaurants and bars in Durham. These are a few of my favorites. All have reasonable prices and appeal to young and mature, fun-loving adults. 😊

Downtown

Unscripted Durham: Formerly a HoJo, this boutique hotel is located in the heart of Durham and features a 3rd-floor pool/patio/bar that overlooks the city. You do not have to be guests to enjoy the patio and bar. Limited food menu on patio. Both restaurants, Neomonde (fresh Mediterranean) and Pour Taproom (pay-by-the-ounce beer) are very good. Corcoran Street

The Roof at Durham: The best rooftop view in Durham is at The Durham Hotel. 315 E Chapel Hill St
Queeny’s: Just voted one of the South’s best new restaurants by Southern Living and one of our favorites! Excellent food, and the staff is awesome. Large outdoor seating area. Get the Birria Dip 😉

Kingfisher: A cool craft cocktail bar that also features art. 2023 Semifinalist for James Beard Award Outstanding Bar. Hard to find because the sign does not have the name on it. It has a larger kingfisher bird on it. It is in the basement of Queeny’s. 321 E. Chapel Hill Street, Durham, NC

The Velvet Hippo Upbeat, trendy bar with friendly vibes on the 3rd floor at 119 Orange Street. Another great rooftop bar.

Chapel Hill Street Parking Garage- usually free on weekends; 326 E Chapel Hill St, Durham, NC 27701 Park here and easily walk to the first five on this list, plus many more. FYI- It’s tight for large trucks.

Also Downtown

Kotuku Surf Club: Eclectic late-night bar, fun mix of younger people, but us oldies are welcome too 😊 703 Rigsbee Ave

Devine’s Sports Bar: Owned by former Blue Devil TE Gene Devine. 904 West Main Street
Tobacco Road Sports Cafe: Outdoor seating overlooks the field at Durham Bulls Stadium (Bulls play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), Good food, lots of TVs

Blue Note Grill: Blues and BBQ. 709 Washington St, 280 S Mangum St #100

King’s Sandwich Shop – A classic since 1950, Hot Dogs. 701 Foster St.

Areas to Check Out

9th Street – An eclectic neighborhood with unique shops and restaurants (close to Duke)

American Tobacco Campus – Stroll through the repurposed tobacco warehouse courtyard with a cool water feature, the Stack, the Lucky Strike tower, Burt’s Bee HQ, and more
