This cozy bar at American Tobacco Campus was designed to be a place to relax before a dinner reservation or after a show at DPAC just across the street. With innovative signature cocktails like the Old Bull, made with Durham Distillery's Conniption Gin, mezcal, pineapple, lemon and orange, plus satisfying small plates and desserts, you can make a night of it here.
This was a cool spot to grab drinks after dinner. They had a lot of good choices on the menu.

Fun place before and after DPAC performances. Great hand-crafted cocktails, creative and delicious appetizers, swell staff members, and unique entertainers. Must try!

Awesome and chill atmosphere in a good vibes low key cocktail bar lounge. Assortment of food options such as charcuterie as well. Loved the lighting and seating arrangements. Great for small groups of up to 4 people to chill out and drink. Convenient location if you can park at the ATC parking garages. Delicious cocktails.
Highly recommend this place for a early night out to hangout with your SO or catch up with an old friend.

Absolutely love this place! I stop in every time I’m traveling thru Durham, the drinks are amazing. The vibe is good and chill not too loud. I highly recommend for craft cocktails or any drink really.

This is a beautiful bar located on American Tobacco Campus! I loved the ambiance and decor, very sexy!
Unfortunately, the night I went, the bar was understaffed and experiend a lot of backup on orders. They got pretty busy around 5pm. We waited about 20 minutes for a cocktail, it was the special (some kind of jalapeño Cucumber tequila drink).
I didn't like the cocktail, it didn't seem well balanced to me. We ended up leaving and not ordering anything else because of how busy they were.
Service was great and our waitress kindly removed the drinks from our tab that we did not like.
I'll try to come back another time and definitely order something else!

I was so stoked to have a nice cocktail bar close by. I have been twice now and their staff have been lovely each time. Unfortunately I asked for a basic off-menu drink during my first trip (a Paper Plane) and despite having all the ingredients, the ratios were not measured and the drink was pretty bad. My next trip I just ordered a glass of bubbles, which was great but the bar remained soiled and unwiped the entire 45 minutes I was there. For someone to pay >$14 per cocktail, they should be offering measured drinks and a bar that has been wiped down. We have several bars in walking distance that are miles ahead of this spot. I hope they take the steps to make themselves competitive in Durham since their staff is so great.

The atmosphere is nice, it’s the only dessert bar in Durham, you can see what they’re going for. Drink list a bit bizarre for desserts. Drinks are already quite expensive, and then they charge extra for the ice if you order a drink on the rocks 🤣
