It is a great Irish Pub in the heart of the Downtown Durham. Has a huge outdoor seating . A great option for summer nights.

Tracy Hancock

great food and beer , my favorite burger in Durham . To Christopher A.; so the bartender told you to get off of tables (where people eat), and *he's* the idiot... grow up.

Izzie Driftwood

Super awesome owner/staff that let the @trianglegooners come show their Arsenal love every match (even opening early. #love)

Mike Devinney

Steelers bar is in the back and they had a good crowd of Pittsburgh fans watching the game. Great tap selection and friendly staff .

Lari Barcellos

The veggie burger is one of the best in Durham! Good staff and cool place!

Dan Griffin

Great place for a drink outside. But please, don't leave your kids unattended while you get drunk, it's unsanitary for all parties involved.

Juste F

Almost 15 types of beers and a good service ! Good spot to be in

Great beers on draft and lots of options. The food is pretty good, the fried food isn't great but the nachos are awesome.

Burgers are delicious!! Fun little place. Lots of TVs to watch games. Had to wait but it wasn't so bad.

Steve Gardner

Good place to watch soccer and buy Real Estate from me.

Brittany Finch

Fried bologna sandwich - with a fried egg , mustard , mayo , cheese ... All on a toasty bun . Eat with a pale ale . Then thank me.

Saleem Reshamwala

Good outdoor seating for meeting friends, casual business meetings

Rob Sheppard

The Fish & Chips are really good. On the lighter side, they have a salad which comes with a few fries on the top, to satisfy the 'dark side'. Either is a great choice.

Marion

Good tap list and a good place to watch the World Cup

Allison Crabtree

Awesome atmosphere. Great company. Epic beer selection . Best bar downtown

Emerson Beyer

Just watched the end of a "big" soccer game - 2 teams I had literally never heard of. ("Schalke?" & "Galatasay?") Big, as in: people took the afternoon off work. Also, they call it "football " here.

Shanna Oskin

It's not intuitive but enter through the door on the LEFT. Otherwise you'll knock over the Indy newsstand and walk into a roomful of barflies looking at you with dismay.

Gar Waterman

Great enclosed outdoor area with picnic tables on the grass

Jeff Mulligan

Steak and cheese is amazing!

Dave Shepley

Check out the Ballast Point/Kelsey McNair/Stone Session Ale . It's delicious! And McCabes is the only place in Durham to have it.

John Flanagan

Bull mccabes rocks my socks. Great staff . Fantastic food.

Have sweet potato fries when they're available .. the best!

Adam B.

I would totally steal the light fixtures in here if I could figure out how to get away with it.

Toshe Ó Broin

Ask if the bartender is Willie. If the answer is yes, mention the passphrase "your mum's got great tits", and get a free drink

Brittany Bryan

They have Magners Irish cider - delish and not always easy to find state side.

Kate Collins

Beer list never seems to be up to date. Don't get your heart set on a beer before you check w/your server.

Jessica Y

Get a pint of Irish beer (or cider ) and watch a soccer , i mean, football game!

Meghan Morris

Best Reuben south of the Mason-Dixon Line .

The Cubano is truly amazing.

Jen Fen

Great place to watch the a World Cup games!
