A Durham classic. Come on, some of these reviews are ridiculous. Sneaky great drink selection in here. Go support these folks as spots like this in Durham are a dying breed.

Very bad customer service. This waitress was rude and made my drink wrong. I asked her to remake it because it was suppose to be a double shot of Jamison and a splash of Ginger and she gave me this, half Jamison and ginger ale. She tried to charge me $17 again to remake it. (The picture attached was taken after I started drinking). I DEFINITELY wouldnt recommend this place.
