Located in the Warehouse District and near lots of other breweries in the Central Park area, this brewery and taproom not only has beer, wine and cocktails but also a full-service kitchen. The indoor and outdoor seating makes the place welcoming and comfortable no matter the season.
The owners are obviously from Rochester based on my look at the menu. beef on weck is a dead giveaway. lol
is an awesome little brewery I had the secondhand which was an imperial Mole brown ale. It was absolutely delicious. Decided to go with the pork belly bao bun instead of the beef on weck to avoid the sin of gluttony. The pork belly bao bun did not disappoint.

Great beer. Highly recommend the Coconut Hazy IPA. Huge thanks to Maya for the great service and letting me know more about the Durham area! Would recommend for anyone wanting to get a taste of the Durham craft beer scene.

Great food and beer! The salted jalapeno beer amazing! Maybe- Maxwells Demon- the strike beer was great too! I had the Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken- which was delicious - but it was the fries that we couldn't get enough of! Next level deliciousness!

I spent three days in Raleigh in May 2025 for no particular reason - but decided I would use my time to explore the beer scene in town. On a $9 side-quest to Durham, I made Atomic Clock my first stop. I'm glad I did. Situated in an historic building that once housed the city's fleet maintenance garage, Atomic Clock serves up tasty brews and delicious food from a friendly staff in a super charming environment. I experienced a lager, a smoked ale, a brown ale, and a black IPA - all excellent representatives of their style. For lunch, I had the fried artichoke sandwich, which was delicious and surprisingly filling!
Conveniently located adjacent to the original Durham Bulls stadium, if you're into that sort of thing. No sign of Annie, Nuke, or Crash though.

Such a great place. Beers were all very good, but perhaps the food stole the show. Get the empanadas no matter how hungry you are.

I recently visited Atomic Clock for my son's birthday, and I can't recommend it enough! The beer selection is fantastic, with something for everyone, and they even have a full bar with a rotating menu of cocktails, which makes it a great spot no matter your preference. But what really keeps me coming back is the food. Chef Lopez is truly incredible! The menu is diverse, full of bold flavors, and just downright delicious. On top of that, Chef Lopez made my son feel extra special by coming out of the kitchen personally to check on his meal—such a nice touch! This was our second visit, and I’m already looking forward to the next one! Next time, we’ll definitely wait long enough to snap some pictures of the food because it looks almost as good as it tastes! If you haven’t been yet, it’s definitely worth checking out.

The food here is insanely good!!! The wings, fried pickles and fries were five star restaurant quality and better than any fancy restaurant I've ever had those things in. Beers also good! Staff was friendly.

Amazing beer and food, modern ambiance with a clock theme in a cool old brick building. The dry ramen was the bomb. All the beers I sampled were amazing. Never had a smoked beer I liked until I tried the Pilgrim. I’m a believer.

The olive oil cake was amazing. The bartenders were very knowledgeable about their products and offered suggestions. They had a few non alcoholic options. The cake, though, was great.
