Great selection of craft beer, tons of singles! Good for a quick drink or a gaming night with friends, and also the sweetest dog you will ever meet.

What a hidden gem! Not sure what's bigger - their delicious selection of mead (and other drinks!) or the wall to wall board games!! Best thing about this place is definitely the co-owner, Kenneth - so refreshing to encounter such a thoughtful, creative business owner who genuinely cares that every single thing Moon Dog does supports and connects the local community. Highly recommend visiting!!

Best place in town! They have the coolest events! Metal nights multiple times a month where they support local small bands. It’s a really intimate setting to have a concert and they always go hard. They have board games to rent for $5, but they also have a stacked shelf of free to play games, and free board game nights on Mondays and Thursdays. great place to chill with friends and play some games. Lot’s of other cool events too. Overall, I love the community they create. Myself and a lot of other people who play TTRPG’s go there to run games often. The patio space out back has fire spinning and communal painting with CoLab once a month. They have an awesome selection of mead, beer, and delta 8 drinks, plus some soda for those of us who don’t drink. The owners Kenneth and Derrick are doing an awesome job! Did I mention that it’s dog friendly AND you can often meet one of the owners’ dogs while you’re there? Plus most of the art on the walls is for sale and done by local NC artists. Best place 11/10.

(Note: they are in a basement, so if you can’t walk up or down stairs, this place unfortunately isn’t for you. you may be able to go around back but i wouldn’t say that option is super accessible)

Hidden gem of Durham. Went Tuesday for board game night and everyone was so friendly and helpful and FUN. Came back for the fire show and some live music by a talented artist Saturday. Appear to have events almost every evening! Mead was good, not overly honey tasting.

If you are looking for nerdy crowd, this is it !

I came to see a singer songwriter named "Lo Wolf". The venue was great and the music was amazing.
