Tavern

This unassuming bar with a rather pedestrian facade has hands down the best burgers in Durham. Walking in, the restaurant area was empty but the bar was packed. Our initial thought was this is a bar with a few tables and chairs but luckily we were wrong. The bartender greeted us and proceeded to rattle off all the beers on draft. He was amiable and helpful. We decided to keep it simple with bacon cheese fries and build our own burgers. The fries were hot, gooey, and full of real bacon goodness. The burgers were cooked to order, juicy, and topped with our choice of toppings. The beers were cold and they kept coming. The Tavern is a simple, no frills restaurant and bar but the service and food are incomparable. Definitely treat yourself to dinner at The Tavern. We plan to go back for game day. 🏈🦃🐺

Mary was bartending and was so gracious and on top of everything we needed. My guy ordered the barbecue. We actually drove 20 minutes because he was craving this barbecue at this place. The cook was friendly and i heard that he smokes the meat himself!! Very down home feel, like just being part of the Durham landscape. We played pool too which was fun. And even tho I didn't get barbque, my grilled chicken with cheese and veggies really hit the spot as did the margaritas Mary made me with her own special creative splash of a lil something different! Def will be back!
