You know the sports bar that has wall-to-wall TVs, overloaded nachos, a great beer selection and comfy chairs? Tobacco Road is that -- and something wholly unique with its location overlooking the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Watch for home runs, or stop in for elevated bar food before a show at DPAC. Pro-tip: when the Durham Bulls are in season, sitting on the patio offers a free fireworks show every Friday (and most Saturday) nights.

Monday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM

Pretty good sports bar. Lots of TVs for sports. Some outside seating available overlooking the Durham Bulls stadium. Pretty big menu to choose from. Food and service were both great. Full bar and draft options available.

Exceptionally slow service for food that wasn't that great. Servers need more training and faster attentiveness to customers. Kitchen very slow. Lots of TVs for sports though. Expect to be here a while for dinner. I would recommend the pepper jack grits. Chicken sandwich was overcooked.

Great restaurant!! I would definitely say that it is one of the best restaurants in the downtown area with a spectacular view of the Durham Bull's ballpark and its festivities year round!! I always look forward to going!!

I want to start off by saying the food is always great and we normally have pretty good service! But when we came to eat tonight, instead of leaving full and happy, we left frustrated and upset. Read below for details…. 🙂 First, we waited a good 15 minutes for our server, Josie, to greet us. She took our drinks, delivered them and then finally took our food order. Everything’s going fine until we get our food about 20-30 mins later. Mine came out perfect and tasted pretty good (bbq chicken). My boyfriend ordered the eagle pride burger which comes with lettuce onions fried jalapeños and melted cheese but asked for NO onions. When his arrived it looked like just a regular burger with pickles and onions on it. Told waitress this isn’t the correct burger and she immediately put in the correct burger- or so we thought. Another 15-20 minutes go by and we are STILL waiting on his correct burger… waitress the whole time is just cleaning up from a party that had just left (probably left good $$$ and so our table wasn’t worth the time) and when she’s finally done, she walks and grabs his burger from the back. Well, it comes out cold with a bunch of onions and no fried jalapeños… we are pretty disappointed. But guess what the best part is??? SHE NEVER CAME BACK TO THE TABLE AFTER THAT. We had the check on the table for the last 20 minutes and she clocked out and left without checking on us or cashing us out. My boyfriend & I are both servers and understand that mistakes happen. We understand that we have to be patient as customers- but the service that we received tonight was unacceptable. Josie was very ready to go it seemed like, or she assumed that she wasn’t going to receive a good tip because of her mistake. But the one person that I do truly feel for, was the nice blonde lady that came to our table once Josie had left to see if we needed anything else… she had to clean up our whole table. Not a single item was pre-bussed- not even the first incorrect burger that was served. But hey, at least she left off our drinks, right? The company will be happy about that!
