I've been to just about every cocktail bar in Durham. Even with the stiff competition I easily put this place top 3. Their drinks have great complexity and innovative ingredients, while expertly keeping an approachable palette. The speakeasy vibe is present however with an atmosphere that is more relaxing and welcoming. You can tell The Waiting room is a labor of love and brings an experience that can't be mimicked anywhere else.

Great place to have drinks and appetizers before or after a show at DPAC! Or anytime for that matter! Super friendly staff, laid back vibe, and great drinks and food!

Did we just find our new favorite date night bar, tucked away in the American Tobacco campus?! Ummm I think so!

Incredible menu and cool vibe. Not a lot of seats tho, but that will only make it more sought after. As long as they can keep this energy, they will be one of those places that makes Durham so cool, maybe even the best.

Despite the small seating arrangements, we really enjoyed the atmosphere and experience. We had great service, and craft cocktails and desserts. This is adjacent to a lot of American Tobacco and DPAC activities.

Great place for drinks before a show at the DPAC- just make sure to get here early. They serve Innovative cocktails that are sure to please. All fresh ingredients- must try.
