Best burger in Durham ....maybe even best in triangle. Great bun . Burger built any way you like it. Dain's is a dive but service friendly and fast. Tots instead of fries .

Mark Goodacre

Hoppyum and Seeing Double are always on tap ; there's a rotating tap too with some great brews. Nice atmosphere.

Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter is the best Dark Beer . Try Flying Dog Double Pale Ale if you want a lighter but potent beer . Yum
