    I love the atmosphere at Durham Beer Garden. I especially love .50 wing night on Mondays. Their lemon pepper and Carolina gold bbq are our go to. Their fries and edamame are delicious as well. They have a full bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and arts and crafts night on Mondays well as other weekly events.

    A solid new option for beer near downtown Durham, the new Durham Beer Garden along with Little Bull next door are adding a lot of energy to this corner of the Bull City. Durham Beer Garden is a large and sprawling space both indoors and out. Two main rooms along with three patio areas (front, side, in back) means there's lots of space to spread out in. There's about 15 or so taps along a small menu of American grill eats (wings, burgers, etc) available for food. There are several cool murals in the space along with a fun, Durham bull neon sign up front. Overall it's still early to see where this business goes but stop by and check it out!

    Convoluted screen that includes mandatory fee/"tip" and the button you will press unknowingly, which looks like the actual tip

    Great place (mostly outdoor, with some indoor seating) with a good selection of beers But BIG FEE ALERT: Even if you buy one beer, the 20% tip is already included But the worst part is it prompts you to **tip again** (ranging from an additional 7% to 3% - which brings a tip total to 27% potentially if you do not notice what's going on), without any true warning that you've already been un-optionally charged a 20% fee I cannot stress this enough, but when you're being charged a mandatory amount of money, that's a fee, NOT a tip

    Came for the drinks but was honestly immensely impressed by the food and ambiance! There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, as well as extremely kind servers. You order food inside at a kiosk and pick up outside at the food truck when it is ready. Super simple and easy to use, and the food is delicious! May take a while to get the food if lots of people order at once but it is well worth the wait. Can't wait to come back, especially in the summer months when patio seating will be perfect.

    This place is huge! It's super cute and fun. They have board games, lots of outside games like cornhole and jenga, and a big beer selection. The outside is super cute, lots of lights and plants. The food was really good, it was Asian, American and Asian fusion. We love places where we can bring our dog inside during the hot months (she is very social and just loves being around people). We can't wait to come back when it's cooler and enjoy the outside!

    Great atmosphere with lots of space. Lots of heaters for outside. Just slightly overpriced IMO.

I still love the fruit tart - good texture and mix of sweet and slightly tart. The macaron and elephant ear was pretty good. The macaron had good flavor and texture. Elephant ears tasted good, though I would've preferred more layers and more of a crisp. Lemon poppy danish was the standard danish. I sadly wasn't as impressed by the cream puff and eclair dough. I know they make their pastries fresh every day but on a busy Saturday at 10:30 am, the eclair dough didn't taste fresh and was not as light and airy as I hoped. Cream puff was ok. The dough was also meh. BUT the focaccia was amazing!! It was on-sale day old bread but had great flavor and was soft on the inside and slightly crispy in the outside. All in all, for what's in the area and restaurant's atmosphere, it's still worth the trip.

    I've been hearing about this Bull City Burger spot for over two months, (noted for their tasty…read moregrass-fed beef) and in watching the reviews -- I figured that the experience should be very pleasant; to the eyes and the palate. I was hoping I would not be disappointed. Downtown Durham on Parrish Street I do believe. I went there midday and there was a sparse lunch crowd already seated when I arrived. The warmly lit space presents nice aesthetic as you walk into the restaurant. A very chill and comfortable atmosphere. I love the bar and the mirrored wall nestled behind it. The spot is pretty laidback and very clean, but has a bit of a rustic nuance to it as well. I like that. The serving staff were extremely nice and helpful towards advising me in making my selection -- with me being a first-timer and all. I kept it simple...I chose the Classic Burger (pink) with pepper jack cheese, bacon marmalade, and as a side, I had to go with the Dirty Fries -- 'cause that's how I roll y'all. About the food: I have to say, the burger was staunchly built and crafted with artistry. Nice and tall with a seriously tasty bun encapsulating everything. Perfectly well-seasoned meat and the first bite was simply delightful. I noticed as I got towards the center of the meat, it was bit less juicy than the surrounding parts of the burger, but nevertheless still tasty. My Dirty Fries were delicious In the end; the experience as a whole was quite delightful and I would definitely like to go there again -- perhaps try a different burger to expand upon my experience with this place. Gotta try out That Bar y'all! I do recommend it for those who haven't had a chance to go by there to check it out.

    I'm going to open by saying that the fun and humor of this restaurant is amazing. The interior is…read morenice and vibrant, with a perfect mix of minimalist and maximalist designs in the building (especially with the brewery apparatus being visible--which is awesome!!). Even before me an my party entered we could hear music playing from the building, which kept the vibes up! Moving onto the food, a certain menu item caught my eye. Something that I'm legally obligated to keep quiet about... but let tell you- this burger was Gooood. This "Signature Secret Burger" was rather unique, as it was like you took a pretty simple egg burger, and just ramped it up. My initial thought when I first tried it was that it was a burger squared, the mystery ingredients amplified the flavor to make such a savory meal. It wasn't to overbearing like many other burger places that I've visited, not immediately making me feel fat and full after taking a few bites. Our party also ordered a whole quart of fries, and they were SO GOOD!!! I'm a sucker for good fries, and you knocked this out of the park! Your fry soft was nice and mellow and complimented the fries perfectly. (And even afterwards, the fries warmed up really well and were still Really freakin' good!) Finally, during my visit, their anniversary event (Happy 15th By The Way ) and they were offering FREE DESSERT for someone who happened to sit in a randomly chosen seat. And by the luck of the gods my little brother found his way onto the seat! It was just really awesome to see a restaurant doing such awesome things for their birthday, y'don't see that every day! Overall, this place is definitely a place to stop by if you're in Durham. If you're in the area visit IMMEDIATELY if you love good fun food!

We have many breweries closer to home but we drive 30 minutes out of our way for the pizza. I always tip them well even though they don't serve you.

I've been to the Raleigh location as well, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Durham location brings you an awesome patio scene! The bar itself is a bit small but their indoor/outdoor approach makes it seem huge. The patio is two floors, both covered, one just off the bar and the other right about that which has a few TVs for those interested. Off of the patio is a nice size "beer garden" sitting area complete with picnic tables and a great view. If you are looking for chill family friendly patio vibes this is the place to be! I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. If you've been to the Raleigh location, the Durham menus is not the same. Yes they have pizza but it doesn't seem to have the same options - still good though. We went with a hankering for the hummus we got at the Raleigh location, again the Durham location had hummus but a different variation. One thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus, there is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park. Plenty of WARM pita for everyone. This location is somewhat self-service, the bartender obviously poured out beer and there is a cute window for picking up snacks but no table service.
