Corpse Reviver is NOW Conniption Bar & Lounge
New Name. Same Bar. Same delicious cocktails.
This month, we changed our name! Corpse Reviver became Conniption Bar & Lounge.
Nothing about your favorite spot is changing: not the people, not the menus, not the vibe. What’s evolving is clarity. Connection. A bold new chapter.
From the beginning, Corpse Reviver was imagined as a creative extension of Durham Distillery, a place where our spirits and our stories could come to life by the glass. Named in homage to the classic gin cocktail, and as a nod to the building’s past life as a coffin shop, it was a name that felt rooted, clever, and unmistakably ours.
But over the years, we’ve heard a pattern from guests — both locals and visitors:
“Wait, Conniption is made here?”
“This is part of Durham Distillery?”
“I didn’t realize this bar was connected to the gin!”
And we get it. The pieces haven’t always been easy to connect.
This is still your bar. We remain proud to be apart of this community. Still Durham Distillery, poured by the same people, in the same place — just with a name that tells the full story.

While our affection for our four-legged loved ones knows no bounds, being a distillery restricts us to welcoming only service animals.
