The Boot Room
Phone: (919) 748-3499
The Boot Room is best for big soccer matches — with themed menu items like The Rapinoe grilled chicken sandwich, or the Italian Maldini — but buzzes for just about any big sporting event. They call themselves a sandwich shop, but you don't want to sleep on the appetizers and big salads: the bang-bang tots, fried pickles including okra, green tomatoes, and a house-made feta-dill tzatziki and the hearty Carolina cobb salad make everyone a winner.

Sports bar with solid sandwiches. Definitely a sports bar vibe but comfy and decent service considering it's a counter service spot.
We tried wings, fish and chips, and the Rachel. All solid, though I think we'll stick with the sandwiches next time. Coleslaw was surprisingly excellent, fries were very good.
Will be back. -
Love the foods! The service is excellent!! Sometimes it’s a little crowd because of soccer and other events but other than that, it’s not a long wait..🍔🌭🌮🥪🍟🥓yum! -
I wanted to share some feedback respectfully. The bartender seemed a bit unwelcoming and came across as somewhat disengaged during our visit. I understand everyone has difficult days, but a warmer interaction would have made the experience much more enjoyable. Thank you for taking the feedback into consideration. -
Having lived in Scotland, we always miss the pub. This amazing place is the closest thing to it! Great beer, great people and really good food. Great for groups, kids, families, first dates, you name it! A true Durham gem. Don’t sleep on brunch on the weekends or on a great place to watch the soccer matches! -
I actually feel deeply disturbed that I have not posted a review yet for my top 5 Favorite Place. This place is the perfect mixture of local watering hole, delicious/indulgent/slightly-healthy food, football club watching, limitless beer option place. Like ever.
I can't emphasize enough how much I like the food here. And the single first picture is all you need to know really for food. This is the coup de grace of the food choices. The "digger" sandwich with a side salad w ranch (not pictured) and a side order of sweet potato fries with the literal world's best honey mustard dipping sauce. I mean The. World's. Best.
But I've actually eaten almost almost everything on the menu and I honestly love each and every item. The whole menu is diverse and unique and has healthy options and creative options. Really next level.
And the cornucopia of options on the beer side coupled with the endless sea of tables to sit and enjoy, or invite friends and gather together, the cultural Soccer vibe from The Back Room, and everything in between. This place is a small slice of heaven, on like 15 different levels.
