Food & beverage scene

This place is in the heart of Downtown Durham, 64 self-pour taps of craft beer, cider and wine. Delicious food menu. Great place to meet up with friends as you can stay for extended times without being rushed. We love the outdoor seating and vibe. Highly recommend.

Places kids love

Main attraction for families, 5 minutes away. Kids can spend days here, there is so much to see and do year-round. If you visit Durham frequently, cheaper to get a pass than to get individual tickets.

If you're in Durham for a short visit and are looking for low cost craft supplies, the Scrap Exchange upcycles art materials and resells them. You can also find a trove of cool vintage memorabilia. Note there are two different sections to the store - craft supplies and thrift store, where there's also a mini library at the back of the store.
