A serious taste for beer pairs with an emphasis on local agriculture and grass-fed beef at Durham’s longest operating brewpub. Local pride prevails in beers like the Parish Street Pale Ale. You can also find its beers at its sister restaurant Bull City Solera.

Passing through Durham and came across a gem of a restaurant. Staff was friendly and did a really great job accommodating our pup we had with us on the trip. Fries, fried pickles are a go to for sharing. Forgot which burger I did order, however I enjoyed it.

This burger place and brewery has tasty burgers, very interesting thin fries, and something I didn’t know I was missing: fried pickles! Simple but mind blowing really - this taste of fried, sliced, pickles. Besides the food I also really enjoyed the Bryant Bridge Gateway Ale! Service was friendly, and the vibe inside was great! Nice place for an after work pint!

The burgers here were amazing, the perfect size for me but maybe small for someone from Texas. I had the Bbq burger and it was cooked perfectly and the sauce gave the burger a good tang. You can definitely tell that the ingredients are locally sourced. All the toppings on the burger tasted fresh! I would definitely come here again!

LOVE, LOVE these burgers, made fresh with locally supplied ingredients. Large menu including a wonderful beer selection brewed in house. Many award winning options! Indoor and outdoor seating, great atmosphere and awesome vibe. Located in the heart of Durham, lots of parking close by. Whether you looking for a great burger or just a cold beer you will not be disappointed!

Great little burger bar. I’m not a beer drinker so I can’t comment on the beer. The bar selections are limited but they probably have something for you. We sat at the bar as they were making a batch of their slushy drinks and it was packed with fresh lemon, lime, and orange juice they were squeezing out at the bar. My wife loved her standard cheeseburger she built and the gluten free bun was one of the best I’ve tried. I got the lettuce wrapped burger. It was served with a fork and knife that was absolutely necessary for this sloppy but delicious burger. And the crispy duck fries were amazing. Thin cut, crispy, salty, perfect shoestring fries. I’d go back just to get the fries. It’s full service at the bar or you can order and find a table if you’d prefer.

Friendly service, fresh ingredients, and fantastic experience overall! The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. The jungle juice slushy and fries were amazing and while the burgers were a little more well-done than pink, they were still absolutely delicious. Living here 6 years, I can't believe this was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last!
