Casual watering hole attached to the distillery. Creative cocktails with a nice selection holiday-themed choices. The patio is nice, even on a cold night.
Try Grandma Hot Run Over by a Reindeer on a cold night!

At first I was worried about how dingy it would be. Walking down a sidewalk around the back of a distillery isn't the most luxurious! However, once we entered the space, we were met with a quality environment. We were seated quickly. The ambiance is so unique and lots of fun!! The cocktails were very enjoyable, especially if you are a gin lover. If not, there are still lots for you to choose from. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night. Would be good for groups of six or less. Felt very much like a cocktail lounge, less like a bar. :)

Been coming here for a few years and have never had a bad experience. The current menu (Aug 2024) is so fun and playful. I really feel like they're in a renaissance of their style and presentation. If you're a cocktail lover or just enjoy a laid-back underground vibe, this is your spot.

Great little cocktail bar below the Durham Distillery. Inventive cocktails with comfortable interior mixing classic cocktail bar vibes with some trendiness. Your mileage may vary but the quirkiness to me was a huge plus.

No food just drinks. Pretty cool place. 1 server for in and out made service slow but the drinks were tasty

This is a gin joint. A Beautiful place. Hidden in the back of a distillery. The vibe lighting and vaporwave music alone make it a must visit. The drinks are gorgeous to look at and with a wide range of flavors to test any palette. Small bites menu nothing for a meal but enough to keep you sipping. Worth a try outside seating also available but at least take a look inside!
