This cozy, art-filled bar on East Main Street offers an intimate setting inside or on the back patio for wine by the bottle or glass paired with small plates and snacks. Gather your friends and settle in for an evening of wine and conversation with the friendly staff and wine-loving regulars. Enjoy the food menu with nibbles, small plates and desserts while getting wine recommendations from experts behind the bar. In cooler weather, check out the back patio that includes a mural of wings painted by Colette Miller.
Majesty was absolutely fantastic. He was so down to earth, friendly, funny, went out of his way to make sure we had the best wine and time, recommended great charcuterie pairings, and curated the best atmosphere. We will most definitely be back and cannot recommend this place enough if you want a funky, friendly, eclectic wine bar.

Didn’t eat so I can’t speak to the food, but the beverage selection is great and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable!

Awesome wine list, awesome decor, amazing staff. Service in Durham has gotten so bad.. bartenders are frankly rude most of the time. These people are delightful, and so happy to help you find wine you love. I’ve been twice this week 😍🙏

We were looking for a place to blow off steam after a wild week and we accidentally got stuck in Durham. I told my partner I just need a glass of wine and he found this place.
Wow! This place is a gem. The atmosphere was cozy, arty, hip and felt like a home you don’t ever want to leave. Lee, our sommelier, expertly explained their unusual wines and we partook. We also got a charcuterie board and left it up to the chef to create. It was wonderful!
Thank you Lee and Killer Queen for a lovely Monday night.

Awesome place. Tucked away, but worth the find. Leigh served me, and I can’t say enough about her! Knowledgeable, refined palate, and lived in Seattle (sorry, a little biased).
Whatever recipe they’re using here to cook up success and this wonderful atmosphere, DO NOT CHANGE IT!

Friendliest, most welcoming staff! I've been here a handful of times and loved it every time. I felt compelled to write a review this time because this team deserves kudos for their kindness to patrons and knowledge of products. The ambiance is insatiable and the wine/heavy appetizers are delicious. These days a lot of the service industry have suffered and we give grace to those who have off days. However....you can never tell any off days at KQ. Consistent open arms here. Best vibe!!!

The cutest wine spot in Durham. We barely talked because we were so enamored by the decor and artifacts on the wall! We will definitely be back and hopefully we won’t be so shocked that a place like this exists and we’ll actually CHAT! 😭
