A speakeasy-style wine bar that is one of our favorite hangout spots in Durham. It looks like you're walking into a seedy barber shop but inside it transforms into a lovely warm space with funky alc and non alc options and GREAT bar snacks.
Great cocktails with amazing burgers.
A really great French restaurant that we come to regularly. When it's on the menu, the merguez is halal (and made in-house!).
The Duke Lemur Center is a home/sanctuary for over 200 lemurs and other bush species. It is the largest sanctuary of lemurs outside of Madagascar and is super awesome. If you're in town early, it's well worth a trip.
The first place we went on a date in Durham! Really good sushi and omakase.
Awesome pizza, chill vibes.
A nice brewery with a large outdoor space. A fun place for a drink during the interlude, if you're not keen on napping :)
