A super non-judgmental watering hole. Stopped here for a bit to check it out and had a good time just chatting with the locals.The area is a bit sketchy being on the outskirts of town, but friendly service nonetheless.

Had a wonderful time dancing last evening. Very welcoming and accepting people. If you like to dance to some great music and drink a cocktail, then this place will be a fun night out for you and your friends. My partner and I have such a great time here. Beware of the Jell-O shots, they are so good and the green ones, I hear, are extra spicy ;). Love this place.

I had a good time here. A bit early so no too crowded, the outside part was really good and comfy. Bartender was very friendly and dj music was cool. Loved it!

A hole in the wall but a great place to be to get a good twerk in. I was there when Big Freedia performed. Great experience

All night long all I heard was twerk music. If you have a mix crowd young and old play some good party music everyone can dance to. I had been there a few times before and enjoyed it but last night was my last time.

Do not go here. I had a really bad accident at this place, couldnt walk for a month and no one cared to help me. This place is actually disgusting and violent. Someone got shot here last night please beware of this establishment. The people that work here do NOT care about their customers. The drinks are overpriced and watered down. Its usually pretty dead for obvious reasons. And sometimes they have the nerve to have a cover gross. Alot of better places you could go. Trust me.

Went here for Bowie Ball 2016. One of the better nights Ive had in Durham. Drink lines were a bit unwieldy, but nothing bringing in your own flask of alcohol wont fix, amirite?! I kid (or do I), but the atmosphere here was open and accepting, and Ill never turn down a group of people wearing only body paint.

This is without a doubt the shittiest, dirtiest bar i have ever been to. The bathrooms are disgusting! Not only that but most of our time was spent at the bar waiting for our orders! The bartenders were extremely slow and unresponsive. This bar attempts to hold special events and headline big names but it has no room to do so! It was so overcrowded that people were going outside to piss in the bushes! I will NEVER EVER be visiting this trashy dive again! Should have gone to Legends instead! Verdict: AVOID! save your money and your weekend and go somewhere else!

The Bar Durham is a large LGBT club with great drink specials and great dance music. They have a large dance floor with overhead lighting and a great sound system for dancing. Theres something always happening at the Bar and it dont matter if your straight or not, the staff and customers are always friendly and with their very relaxed scene during the week and dance club atmosphere on weekend its the best dance club in Durham.

Because even in the aftermath of the Orlando tragedy The Bar offered sanctuary to the hurt and fearful.

This bar is rolling downhill fast I think they are serving bottom shelf liquors in place of others and the bartenders are more rude every time I visit.
