Chapel Hill, NC: Head to Chapel Hill

  • Overwhelmingly, every single person I spoke to that is familiar with this area, all said that going out in Durham is a waste of time. Close to Durham is the town of Chapel Hill, NC which is the home to the University of North Carolina. I did not heed their warning, and definitely saw what they were talking about when I noticed how dead the streets of downtown Durham were. Take my advice, and travel to Chapel Hill if you want night life.

    Down Under Pub: Down Under Pub

  • Pool table, darts and a fairly good selection of draught beers and bottles. It's in downtown and easy to get to. Also, there's traditional pub fare along with their buffalo wings which are supposed to be great. I've only had cheese fries here. It's also within walking distance of the Durham Bulls Athletic park and surrounded by old tobacco warehouses that have been converted into all manner of shops.

    come as you are

    The Greenroom: Pool, Darts, Beer

  • This was a cool spot to go hang out and drink beer, play pool or darts. It's a short drive/walk from Duke East Campus. Fairly cheap too. $4 an hour for pool. There are 10 really nice antique pool tables and a 22 foot shuffleboard in the middle of the bar too. Darts are free if I remember correctly. And there are over 60 kinds of beer to choose from. It's mostly bottles, as I remember the tap wasn't all that exciting.

    Duke is not known for its nightlife and most people that live here head for Franklin Street in Chapel Hill or to downtown Raleigh for good nightlife. The auditorium on campus, however, is bound to have some cultural nightlife. Students at Duke are serious about their studies, so don't be surprised to see more people in the library than in the bar!

  • Check out the venues at tangophilia.com and you can also do a google search for triangle tangueros. There is at least one milonga per week. Very nice venues.

    Mellow Mushroom: Tobacco District Pizza Restaurant

  • The Mellow Mushroom is a popular pizza joint that comes highly recommended by Duke University Students. The atmosphere is jovial and sports focused; the food is good and the service is casual and friendly. The location, for Durham, is pretty great! Outside seating overlooks the water feature and the American Tobacco building brings an authentic feel to the place. It is the perfect spot to dine before you attend a Durham Bulls game!

    Casual atttire. Jeans, baseball hat, not romantic or dressy.
