Head on over to Rigsbee Avenue for brews, cocktails, a delicious mix of small plates inspired by global street food, and proximity to Motorco Music Hall, its sister venue just next door. Hang out with friends outdoors on the spacious Parts & Labor patio before or after catching a show. It's worth noting that most, if not all, of the food menu items are intentionally at or below $10.

the ghost pepper wings slap. i’m pretty into spicy things and these are truly spicier than most things i’ve ever gotten in a restaurant. only $10 but proceed with caution. a lot of caution.
i usually get them with something else to chase them and the sesame udon salad is really good for that. super refreshing and just the right level of sweet and citrus-y. plus the tofu is crisped up.
vibe is great, staff are super friendly!
also big recommendation for the poutine if you want end of the night comfort food.

So the atmosphere is awesome, the service is great, it's really clean and the staff is super nice. We only went to the bar and ate, but there's a live music spot attached also but they were having some kind of event and we didn't really have time to inquire.
However, the portions. The food is really good, but everything is 'ala carte' so 4 dollars for a slider, 8 if you want two. Then another 4-8 bucks if you want a side and your drink is also another 4ish dollars. The portions just weren't great.
BUT, it's a nice change that going to a place with bar food and all the options are healthy, has a ton of vegan friendly options which is also not something you see a lot of places. Like I wouldn't recommend going if your super hungry or you're willing to order a bunch of sides but it's definitely a cute spot

Don't get me wrong, I love this Durham staple. I appreciate going here with a group of friends for snacks and beer. I do think their food could be better though. In my experience, they tend to skimp on sauces. The banh mi is so dry it'll cut your mouth. I was even once served an undressed salad and told that's how it comes. Idk... I just think they could bring it up a notch.

Pre-show noms. I got the Churrasco slider! Beef tenderloin with chimichurri sauce on a brioche bun. I also have a Mango Cart!

Great outdoor munchies/ drunchies space in Durham. Affordable food, good drinks, and open late. What’s not to love! The poutine is great. Would love a couple more cheese curds per order but it’s still awesome.

Great laid back atmosphere. Menu is somewhat eclectic (and that is a positive in my eyes). Order at the counter and a food runner delivers. Many of the tables seem to be outside, but that adds to the 'ambiance'. Several large tables, which is great for a big group, or you may wind up sharing with someone. The menu is a lot of smaller plates, so it is good for sharing and trying new stuff. We did find a few things tend to be pretty spicy, so if that's not your thing, be mindful when ordering. Been three times, will certainly be back.

The patio and cocktails are what keep me coming back! Out of the things I’ve ordered, I love the bean salad, French fries and the udon sesame noodles. I most recently ordered the mole poutine and it wasn’t my favorite but they have a lot of options and I always have a great time when I go.

Parts & Labor is always such a fun spot to grab a drink and a bite! I appreciate they are open late and they have a well labeled menu for dietary restrictions. I love all their food, the cauliflower bites and scallion pancakes are go-tos. Can’t go wrong with the fries either! They have a variety of drinks too including NA options.

Food was solid. Cool tapas style sharing options with Asian fusion flare. Cocktails were great too! Loved the scallion pancake and the wings! The noodles had great flavor too! The eggplant wasn’t too spongy and was very well seasoned. My dad loved the fried peppers. Will definitely go back!
