If you're looking for a fun weekend date that feels cozy, elevated, and a little different, Weldon…read moreMills in Durham is such a standout. My husband and I visited recently for a bourbon tasting, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our mixologist, Berkay, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He shared the history behind each spirit and walked us through the tasting notes in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely enjoyable. The food menu was another big win, especially as someone who eats vegan. They offered vegan options, which made the experience feel inclusive and well thought out This is a fantastic spot for date night, a girls' night, or celebrating something special. They also host tastings, cocktail classes, private parties, and bachelor or bachelorette events, which makes it a great option for future plans. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable experience in Durham that feels both fun and thoughtfully done.

The apple flavor whiskey was not good. Too syrupy and the peach flavor is insanely sweet; may be good in a mixed drink. The sweet potato was good. I could sip that easily. For food I had deviled eggs and brisket nachos. The deviled eggs weren't that good. The nachos tasted good and a nice portion. Though it's not bad, it also wasn't good. Glad I tried it off my list, but won't be back.

I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly. Let us walk around the entire shop and answer all questions and total some history. It's a college vibe but not an undergrad vibe if that makes any sense. You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.

Parking is easy - they have their own lot. It's a small space, but never overcrowded (at least when I have been there) and their drinks rotate seasonally. Service is always prompt and they are nice!

An extensive cocktail menu that will Not make you want to leave this bar anytime soon. I was so lost (mind you I'm not usually lost cos there's a lot of low hanging non inventive fruit that I disregard in most menus - not here!!!!! I asked the bartender what they would recommend after telling them my preferences and they gave me the Imli. It was spicy and boozy and hint of smooth but not sweet at all. I really enjoyed my drink and wished I could have more but I didn't I also tried their kings Indian defense - another well balanced cocktail for whiskey lovers. I did get the ghee flavor but it you don't get it immediately try it after a gulp of water - it's very subtle. I practically yapped the entire time with the bartender! So you know I'm giving 10/5 on service Note: you can also order food while at the bar from their restaurant Cheeni (review on the restaurant t yelp page) I'm not surprised they were a James beard finalist or something :) Highly recommend

I purchased a cute V-neck shirt my first time. The bartenders are excellent. They recommended drinks & offered to open a tab. I believe one is named Tyler. He was very nice. They cut and stored our cigars that we didn't finish in a ziplock for us. The cigar attendant assisted in selecting a cigar. Nice variety from beginners (light cigar) to advanced smokers who prefer something flavorful & stronger. The bathrooms were clean. They have 2.
