The Durham Hotel
The best view in Durham, with some legit drinks and oysters too.
A bit of a healthy walk from the heart of downtown or a short cab ride away, this spot is just what Durham needed. Their official tagline is “the beer beer would drink if beer could drink” - need we say more? A brewery outfitted with plenty of picnic tables, an upper deck, and some indoor seating, Ponysaurus is great for grabbing a quick beer or camping out with a larger group for the afternoon. Ponysaurus doesn’t have a traditional food menu, but a food truck is always parked on-site or you can order from their grill menu. Stop by on Sundays for biscuits and beer.
