What Happened to Your Parking Lot?
It's all about progress in downtown Durham. Usually, we're all for it but unfortunately our shared parking lot with Blue Note Grill was sacrificed in the process. We do have a parking lot that is set aside for our use but it is about a block away on the corner of Washington Street and Corporation.
If you prefer to keep walking to a minimum, the options are:
- On street parking. It's hard to know how many will be open but the earlier in the day to evening on the weekends is usually ok.
- Scooters!
- Rideshare.
Is the distillery pet-friendly?
While we love our four-legged friends and all of us are dog or cat owners here, it's just not possible for them to be in the distillery. We always allow service dogs.
Do You Offer Private Tours or Cocktail Classes?
Yes, private tours and cocktail classes are available to book. Usually these are best during days or hours when the distillery is not open to the public. Contact Us for more information!
Can I Book the Tasting Room or Corpse Reviver for a Special Event?
You sure can! Use the contact us form below.
Please note: our capacity limit is about 50-60 people so we don't typically host weddings or rehearsal dinners.
