Best queer bar in Durham. Amazing cocktails, good vibes. Highly recommend. The service is phenomenal. Very cozy.

Its a good bar but could easily be great. If they had designated seating areas and had space for dancing it would be perfect. If they are not going for a dancing environment then softer music and their current seating arrangement would be just fine.

The queerest bar that isn't a specifically queer bar. Amazing cocktails lovingly crafted. Many low and zero proof options. They even have zero proof seasonal cocktails sometimes. Check out all their events. I love everything about this place other than the air circulation. The basement location makes it hard not to get stuffy.
