Coffee Bar: A Morning-to-Night Gathering Place

The Coffee Bar at The Durham is a laid-back, all-day gathering place where locals and travelers connect over coffee, cocktails, conversation, and an all-day kitchen menu. From sunlit mornings to cozy evenings, it’s the perfect in-between — not quite a coffee shop, not quite a bar. With a welcoming vibe and space to meet, it’s where Durham’s creative energy comes to life.

HOURS

Mon-Fri 7am-9pm
