The Old North Bar — Restaurant in Durham

Durham needed just a "local bar". Somewhere to hang and be able to have a conversation without having to yell over a DJ. The backyard space is huge, if you weren't already familiar when it was Accordion. I feel safe drinking there, which is big for me. The staff is very welcoming but also doesn't stand for any BS behavior. Every staff member I encountered is a peach 🍑🤗 Shout out to Josy and Camille! Not to mention, drinks are reasonably priced, a pony boy and shot is $8! The booths are nice to have too, whether it's for you and a couple friends of if you wanted to set up your laptop and get some shit done. I'm happy that Old North joined...

What a unique combination of a dive bar and a cocktail bar. Few places in the state offer such a value with the level of expertise.

I was given friendly service and recommended bespoke cocktails based on my personal taste. Truly a great experience and a place to elevate the charming district of Old North...
