Killer Queen Wine Bar — Restaurant in Durham

We had our engagement party here and it was more than we could have ever hoped for! Silvia the owner is absolutely amazing. She kept the wine flowing and personally kept everyone’s glass full. She explained the wines to us and gave great recommendations. The food was also so tasty! We had a charcuterie board, cheese board, pasta, meatballs and they were even able to put a vegan board together for a couple of our friends that are vegan. Now for the space. Their new event space upstairs is absolutely beautiful. No detail was missed. The twinkle lights, candles, vintage seating, everything is so well thought out. They even put out a L & R wood cutout for my fiancé and I. So sweet! We were able to plan the whole event with just a few emails. Since we’re already planning a wedding I really appreciated how easy she made the whole process. We are so thankful for Silvia and everyone at Killer Queen that made our night so special. Can’t wait to have...

First, excellent name. Second, excellent wine selection. The ladies behind the bar Killer Queen really know their stuff, and they are willing to chat with you at length about their wine selection. They are clearly so passionate about their work, and we love to see it. You can also taste the selection to find the perfect glass for you. The menu is divided between sparkling, rose, orange (YAY!), white, and red, with a helpful legend to decipher body and sweetness. They also have a solid selection of biodynamic wines to choose from! They also have beer, cider, and zero proof options - so it’s an inclusive spot for every palate. Small plates focus on bread, butter, and locally sourced cheese. I mean, what more could you want?! Decor is sparkly, disco-y, and eclectic - my fave. And they have cute napkins (it’s the little things). If you’re in Durham (or the triangle), make sure to check...

A gem in Durham! There isn’t a bad spot to sit, whether it’s front, inside, at the bar, or on the back patio. I have been on a busy weekend night as well as an early afternoon weekday and the people here manage it all well! They are very attentive and happy to discuss options, do some tastings, whatever you need no matter how busy! The food rocks, I am a regular bread and butter order gal though (it’s also only $4) which is perfect after a couple glasses. There is such a variety of wines that are priced respectfully with something fun and different going on listed in their chalk board. For all the great bars in Durham, this place has become really special to me. A great glass of wine, friendly people, killer ambiance. Please go here. Please bring your dates here. I can promise you will want...
