    Open Air Bar - More seating under trees

    Came here for research. The research continues…read more... Open Air Bar is a solid establishment for anyone who enjoys cold drinks, good people, and sitting around outside pretending they're not checking the time. The drinks were cold enough to make me question whether they have their own weather system behind the bar. I saw the wings. THE WINGS. They looked absolutely fantastic. Did I order them? No. Apparently I enjoy making poor decisions and living with the consequences. So I cannot officially confirm that they taste as good as they looked, but they were putting on a pretty convincing performance from across the room. The patio is great, and the fireplace seating areas is even better. Very comfortable, very relaxing, and an excellent place to sit while wondering if ordering another drink counts as dinner. Everyone has always been friendly the times I've been there, which is becoming increasingly suspicious because I'm not used to establishments where people actually seem happy to see you. Jk jk 5 stars. Would recommend. Would return. Will probably order the wings next time so I can finally complete my investigation.

    If in the mood for an off beaten path place, drive on up here when weather is good and in mood for…read moredrink and music. Not sure about food but seems like basic bar food at good prices. Also, looks like they have a wing night at .50/ wing.

    We made a reservation for a large group, and they had our tables set up with cute little signs,…read morewhich was a nice touch. We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups.

    Excellent spot for excellent food. Huge selection of beers if you're into that. I like the…read morecommunal-style dining, it is flexible and pleasant. Tons of different sausages, and I wish I could have tried all of them. The bratwurst was awesome, the dangerdog was disappointing. The pretzel was also super delicious but smaller than I hoped. All around a great place

My friend -- a Christian, not even Jewish -- was meeting with a pastor for coffee. He was wearing an IDF jacket and a Star of David necklace while discussing a recent trip to Israel. No shouting. No confrontation. No disruption. Just coffee and conversation. An employee called Durham Regional Police. Officers showed up and told him his conversation was "offensive." When asked what was said that violated policy, no one could answer. No rule cited. No clear complaint identified. Just vague discomfort -- and removal. So what exactly triggered this escalation? Not behavior. Not threats. Not harassment. Symbols. And Israel. Calling the police on someone because others don't like what he's wearing or the country he's discussing is cowardly and discriminatory. Businesses don't get to selectively silence viewpoints they don't agree with. And weaponizing law enforcement to remove someone over perceived "offense" is an outrageous abuse of discretion. If Cork & Bean believes visible support for Israel warrants police involvement, they should say that publicly. If they don't, then they owe an immediate explanation and apology. Until management addresses this directly and transparently, this establishment does not deserve community support. Do better.

    This is one of my favorites so far on my summer beer discovery list. Super chill vibe. Dogs are…read moreallowed, so I got to pet several friendly dogs when I arrived, and that's a great way to start out an evening. The bartender is awesome and the other customers were great too. I ended up playing several funny rounds of ad-libs with strangers which totally made the evening. I felt welcomed and comfortable, like I immediately was one of the regulars even my first time there. The beer is great and they have a ton of options including stuff on tap and in cans. Look for the tv on the wall for the list of current beers on tap; it's on the far left side of the bar just above the large front windows. My curly fries and chicken strips were perfection - think of the best possible version of those things and that's what I got here. This came with sides of BBQ sauce, blue cheese dip, and ketchup. I greatly enjoyed my pumpkin ale and would happily drink this again. I appreciate that there are so many vegan options on the menu (not my thing but it's nice to have a place to bring vegan friends!). A surprising very cool thing was the restroom. There is great art all over the walls! Check it out even if you don't need to, you won't regret it. I sat at the bar; there is another room with tables and a pool table and I think I spotted some hidden booths in the back. There are also a few outdoor tables out front. Lighting is pretty dim so if you're going to read a book, choose your seat strategically. General volume is on the louder side. Parking is on the street. I saw that they do trivia on Monday nights; there are a ton of flyers for upcoming events in the front window. Overall this was a very easy place to give five stars to.

    I'm so happy they have vegan food, so I believe that everything here can be vegan, I was so excited…read morewhen I saw pretzels and vegan cheese but sad when they said they ran out so I'll be back for that. I got the vegan Mac n cheese and the chicken tenders with fries. Everything I got wasn't good, the breading on the 'chicken' was disappointing and tasted like old oil. The vegan blue cheese was good surprisingly cuz I don't care for the real thing at all. The fries were fine but the Mac n cheese had absolutely no flavor, my kids said to me that mine was better and they aren't that picky with food elsewhere unless it doesn't taste like anything. For that I'll still be back to try other things cuz I appreciate the effort in making vegan food for us vegans out there.
