For my friend Matt's Birthday, we decided to do a walking, eating and drinking exploration of downtown Durham on a Friday night. The weather was perfect and all the places we went were within a half mile (see below and link google map). I highly recommend getting to know downtown Durham. We tracked our dino crawl with a small card (above) that we filled out with dino pencils about the quantity of beverages (witnessed, of course, not that I don't trust ya) and about our good time (people were creative here). Here are the links to the places we went to. And yes, we did have designated drivers, of course.
Started off at Bull McCabes for dinner at 6pm, then Whiskey (new bar, had $3 drafts of good beer), Dos Perros (new restaurant closes at 10:30 but looking to open for late night later), Revolution (white leather bar stools and great mixed drinks), Pinhook (to catch some live music), then to West End Wine Bar (at West Village, they had some delicious chocolate covered potato chips). A couple of people hit the Federal earlier in the day.
We saw Durham's finest on Bicycles throughout the evening and it was great running into friends as we walked around. There are plenty of places to go. I have to say even with a bunch of people, we had great service from all the places. Sitting outside was great since the weather was nice at Whiskey and West End Wine Bar.
Let me know of suggestions for our next time out....
