Here's a list of Durham restaurants/bars I recommend for

Oct 26, 2012, 12:15 PM

pre and post-game meals and drinks. These are all places I actually visit regularly, so I speak with some experience in this matter. Also, this is just a small sampling of the many excellent pubs and restaurants around here. Durham does know its food and there are LOTS of great choices around here.

Bull City Burger and Brewery 107 East Parrish St. Luke, the head brewer there is a friend of mine. He's a Ga Tech grad, but a good guy and makes the best beer in town. Good burgers too with all local meats and they make their own buns.

Fullsteam Brewery 726 Rigsbee Ave. Pretty good beer, no food unfortunately, but great atmosphere. It's in the same neighborhood as the old Durham Bulls Stadium

Geer St Beer Garden 644 Foster St. Right around the corner from Fullsteam. Great indoor/outdoor bistro with good food and good beer selection

The Federal Great beer selection, good food, great bar to hang out in. One large screen TV. Right on main stret across from Brightleaf Square. Next door to The Fed is another good drinking bar, The James Joyce.

Bull McCabes 427 W. Main Street. Decent pub food, good beer selection, indoor/outdoor seating.

Toast 345 West Main St. Great sandwiches and soups if you want a quick and cheap lunch.

Whiskey 347 West Main St. If you have a lot of money to spend on the best Scotch and Whiskey, this is the place. Not a sports bar, not a place to eat. This is a leather sofa, low lighting, whiskey bar. $$$$, but good.

Parker and Otis 112 S. Duke St. If you're looking for a place to get a good breakfast Sunday morning, this is the place. Good coffee too.

Elmo's Diner 776 Ninth St. If you're looking for another place to get a good breakfast, this is also the place. Can be crowded. Large portions, very cheap prices.

Broad St Cafe 1116 Broad St. Good food, good atmosphere. Highly recommend their pizzas.

Cosmic Cantina 1920 Perry St (just off 9th st) This is a late-night sort of place with pretty good burritos. This is where you go at 2:00 am when you've had a few drinks and you have to have some Mexican food.

Six Plates 2812 Erwin Road. I almost can't say enough good things about this place. Small tapas restaurant. They do have a couple of TVs at the bar. Right across Erwin Road is Duke's West Campus, where Wallace Wade is.

Old Havana Sandwich Shop 310 East Main St. The sandwiches here are stupidly good. Whatever they do to the pork is unreal. Good prices.

misc. Lots of food trucks in and around Durham as well. Look out for them. They can often be found around Geer St and Rigsbee St.

9th Street in Durham is home to several bars, Dain's place, Mitch's, Charlie's Pub.

West Main St in Durham also has lots of food and beverage choices.

Sam's Quik Shop 1605 Erwin Road. This is the best beer store in this area. If you can think of it, they probably have it. Even if you can't think of it, they probably have that too

The closest liquor store to campus is the ABC store at 2806 Hillsborough Road. Liquor stores close at 9 pm here.

If you're up here next weekend, check out some of these places. You won't be disappointed!
