Kingfisher Bar

Best cocktail bar in Durham, hands down. AMAZING. The care that the owners have for this place is evident in every facet from the decor, to the incredible cocktails, to the food, and creativity throughout the space. I like the Bee Durham, and to be fair that's probably their most popular, but the rest of their drinks are just as great. Big fan of the pickled veggies too! The owners, Sean and Michelle have curated a list creative cocktails in Durham unlike anything I've seen. They also take amazing care of their staff, and I love being able to support them now through tipping, venmo, or purchasing from their King Fisher shop! Just wish they could deliver!! Other Durham cocktail bars watch out! This place is the real deal.

This is what picture when I think of a cocktail bar. Downstairs, a little dark with interestingly colored mood lighting, a round bar in the corner with comfortable chairs, couches and booths. The cocktails were incredibly delicious.

First of all, I’m surprised to be the first review. This place, let me tell you, is where it is at. I have already come here twice, and I live 70 miles away. I love that everything is local and the passion in the drinks, the creativity, is impeccable. Every time I have come here, I have enjoyed the appetizers and their drinks. You really cannot go wrong!
