About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Wed, Fri, Sat

Straight, gay, and lesbian regulars all mix here for cheap beer and dance parties. The Pinhook is a hipster haunt in downtown Durham, known for its mixed crowd and divey, casual vibe.

The full bar and late hours that the venue keeps (open until 2am nightly) make it a reliable spot for a night out. It's a local favorite for 20- and 30-somethings who want music and dancing without pretense.

Located in downtown Durham, near Corcoran Street.
