This Irish pub might have the largest outdoor space in downtown Durham. In addition to the massive lawn space, there is a wraparound patio that seats nearly 85 guests. It’s the perfect spot to take in the Durham skyline from picnic benches sprawled across the expansive lawn. The Premier League soccer bar has been known to open early for a Saturday morning game, and with access to all the sports packages and streaming content, you can be sure that it will be possible to watch your game of choice there. It's also a popular Durham hangout with excellent downtown people-watching and sunset views, so you can bring your crew even if they’re not so into sports. The twenty beers on tap and Irish pub food menu will keep anyone entertained.

I have been coming to this place since it opened as Joe and Jo's many years ago. I love it. But the food has never been worse. Y'all aren't even trying. I get it that downtown is crowded now, so no matter what you do you will get business. But it is lazy to rely on that. It will catch up to you eventually. The food has been good in the past. You can get it back there.

The best fries I have ever had! The food is amazing! The best atmosphere right in the heart of Durham. While I was there, there was a guineas promotion going on and that was fabulous. Park along the street or in the parking lot down the street. Staff was super friendly as well!

There was an event going on the night we came but we had no problem finding an empty booth at the bar inside. They have a QR code mobile order and it’s SO FAST. Our beers came right away and not long after our pretzels arrived. So hot and delicious. I 10/10. We also ordered wings, garlic fries, hummus, pickles. All delicious. Very crispy fries! Highly recommend. Parked about an 8 minute walk on a busy Friday. Should have taken more pics.

Great spot to watch a soccer game. Lots of fans gather here so it has a great vibe. No wait staff outside so you Order and pay on your phone. The had limited indoor seating, a bar, covered outdoor seating and the large lot of outdoor picnic tables. Food and drinks came out promptly each time I ordered even when it was crowded. Everything was well seasoned. Would go back.

Excellent location close to the Durham Train Station. The place is old and rustic but has clean interior Good food options and a great beer selection. The music is good too. 16oz Draft beers here range from $5.50 to $7.00 which is on the higher end of beer rates. Usually they have 1 beer on special rates
