What players say

Came to this bar before and after some games at Boxcar. It's a great spot to socialize, play pool, and relax. I love that they had many NA beer options. As a firefighter hoping to get into Durham FD I especially loved the old Mack trick in the back. Hope to see y'all again soon!

★★★★★ Alex, Mar 2026

Had a great time with a group of friends here over the weekend. Good drink prices, prompt and friendly staff, great music, pool table, bocce ball, and darts. What else do you need?

★★★★★ Logan, Mar 2018

Bar is a staple of Durham. One of the first bars on the scene and one of my go-to’s. Another great piece is that, being a private club, they have an age restriction, I believe 23 and up, that keeps huge groups of college kids from flooding the bar and overcrowding everything.
