Bull City Burger and Brewery

The location is downtown and the area is quaint. Parking was found off the street. Watch the signs on times. The area was clean on a quiet Monday night. I believe there is one other in a nearby city as this could be a small chain. The burger joint is in a historic building and has a cool vibe. The brewery operation can been seen through class.

Excellent burgers and fries. Solid beers, I wouldn’t come just to drink them but they pair very nicely with the food. A bit on the pricey side but everything is fresh and locally sourced. There is an outdoor patio in the back. It is very busy at lunchtime and all weekend. Serve yourself wine dispensers and 128 oz at your table beer dispensers available.

First time here, I like it. Live over a hour away. Had a burger with goat cheese, well done, it was fantastic. Ordered a hot dog, it was good but not a fan of toasted buns. Burnt bread doesn't taste good to me(my opinion). Fries were perfect. The fried pickle chips were good. I would come back for another bite to eat.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. The burgers are very good. I had the burger of the day, and my wife had a burger bowl

Not cheap but certainly unique. Try the french fries fried in duck fat with your burger. Or drop by during the exotic game month for a camel burger, or alligator meat, or for the super bold, the fried tarantula burger!

With being new to downtown Durham, my wife and I have been wanting to try out new places, so we gave this place a shot. We heard that the burgers were voted best in the city. I love that this place has a dog-friendly patio, so we were able to bring our dog. They even brought her a bowl of water. I also love that they offer vegetarian options. We chose a veggie burger and the pimento cheese and kale dip. The burger was really delicious and the dip was tasty. We also liked the beer! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was due to the price. It was a little more than I was expecting to pay.

3.5 stars for a cool local brewpub serving fantastic beers downtown. Hip, popular place that only serves at the bar (order at counter if sitting at tables). Ordered a couple burgers which weren't too bad and frites frustrating to eat because they were short and matchstick-like (instead of long and slender). One burger was $14 and to our surprise did not come with a side, which seemed pricey. Service was good. Would definitely return for the beers, which were delicious!

Great burgers. They have the best baked sweet potatoes in town. The restaurant is very cozy and staff is super friendly. Cool selection of beers and fountain drinks. Got to try Birch Beer first time.

Very fun place. We got two burgers, one with blue cheese and bacon, the other with cheddar and caramelized onions. One with the duck fries, one with regular. Burgers were great, cooked as ordered, big, juicy. Regular fries were great. Duck fries could have been more impressive. They were fine, thinner, crunchier. In house soda was really good too. They have their beer making stuff set up so you can see it through the glass next door, and they have a lot of fun things on their walls. Its a really nice burger place, especially for large groups.

I had the beef hamburger (with blue cheese, mushrooms and caramelized onions), dirty fries and fountain soda. They make their own fountain sodas without any high fructose corn syrup and it tastes way better than any other soda on the market. The combination of the toppings with the beef was also pretty good.

What a great place for locally brewed beer. Amazing service and an outdoor seating area with great ambiance. You can even bring your dog with you. This is one of Durhams treasures one I come to time and time again. The menu is outstanding and changes up with daily specials.

Cool local brewery and restaurant. Community seating, which I like. Great place to come network, eat, and drink in downtown Durham. My sister ordered a cheeseburger and fries, she said it was delicious. They make their own hotdogs! Hopefully can make it back for dinner soon!

One of the best burgers I've ever had. Great place for a Burger and beer. Recommend highly.

Stellar experience. The burgers are fresh and the sweet tea is all that you could ever wish for in a tea. Great atmosphere. The order identification cards all have dates and important historical NC events and figures on them which I found especially cool and interesting. This is a local burger and brewery unlike any other. Highly recommend this place and will definitely come again soon.

The first issue I have is that the seating for this establishment is poor. They will allow you to stand in line, pay and then wait for a seat without a guarantee you will find one. Happy to take your money but no accommodation whatsoever. The food is mediocre at best. I paid $62 for two burgers, a hot dog, a bowl of chili and two beers. Could have taken my family to a better place for that price and eaten better food. Won’t be back.
