Chips

Good place for a great cocktail and some cheap beer. I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now but never jumped around in the area. When walking up to it and walking in it's divey with the walls being mirrors, but the cocktail list has some kick ass cocktails. Their liquor selection is along the whole back wall at the bar. If you can't find anything you like, you may have a problem. They don't have he. Easy or Red Bull, but really other than that, they have it all! They had hotdogs and chips out for anyone who wanted to grab a bite to eat which was great for us! We grabbed some chips since we were pretty hungry but wanted to start with a cocktail first. I had the pineapple martini and was impressed with it! My boyfriend had an old fashioned and it was really good! Don't judge this place by how it looks, because they can make a mean cocktail or two!

I came to Durham from Raleigh because my significant other is obsessed with Pie Pushers pizza, so we decided to stop in for a drink at 106 main and order the pizza as takeout. They had a decent sized crowd and the bartenders were still exceedingly friendly and conversational. If I lived closer I would definitely make this my go-to local place to grab a drink and watch a sporting event. There are a lot of similar places in Raleigh but they just never make you feel comfortable and at home like 106 did. (Did I mention the friendly bartenders?) I loved their martini menu! It included all of the popular favorites and some with a twist. (The almond Joygasm was delicious!)

Look for the lights at night!

Durham has become the new hot spot for little bars opening up and trying to attract the late night crowd. 106 Main is one of these spots and lucky for them it's survived so far. A bar spot located directly on Main Street, you can't miss the Christmas lights in the window, one block from The Pinhook, 106 attracts a grungy group of regulars. We walked in on a Saturday evening about 7pm and were kindly greeted and noted all of two other people at the bar (during our stint, a total of six people besides us arrived). A little bar on the left side of the building is well lit and gives off a classy cocktail vibe compared to the dark couches, tables and chairs that surround the rest of the space with a huge tv centerpiece and scream grunge/sports bar. Two bartenders were staffing on the night we came in. While the taller was friendly and fairly personable, the shorter of the two was off-putting and even cut me off during a conversation we were having. Not a very hospitable move for a new bar. With many cocktails to choose from ranging from $10-$11, I chose a the Negroni: a gin, vermouth, bitters and campari. It was very heavy on the campari and I wouldn't order it again (I am curious about the coffee martini!). I thought the balance between the drink prices, the style of the drinks and the feel of the bar didn't really vibe together. I was also surprised to discover that 106 Main doesn't have any beers on tap. Overall, I think 106 Main has a little ways to go to discover their identity.

Yum! My boyfriend and I split some dishes at the Federal and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We…read morechose the classic cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and sauce on the side, a cubano, and the fried artichoke salad. Both the cheeseburger and cubano came with hefty servings of French fries fresh out of the fryer. Despite being a little salt heavy, they were flavorful and complimented the sandwiches well. The cubano and burger were both 3/5 for me but I enjoyed both. I'm not a huge meat fan... My boyfriend said they were excellent though! The fried artichoke salad is where I feel like I found my peace. The olives, tomatoes, salad dressing, and all other salad components were awesome. It tasted fresh and the ingredients complimented each other. The fried artichokes were a nice crunch too! I would be back to the Federal for the hot food and good vibes. Service was excellent here as well.

There were customers at the bar who ordered a drink and thought that was enough to sit there the entire time. The bartender nicely asked them that if they weren't going to order more food or drink it would be polite if they gave up their seats to paying customers. I finally got to sit down and rest while I enjoyed the game. Great food and even better service!

I had never been or heard of this place, HOWEVER I love the concept! So when you walk in - you are greeted by the cashier. They provide a bracelet and ask how much would you like to put on the bracelet? Once you pay, they load your bracelet with the funds and then you are free to drink! They have beer, cider, and wine - no liquor. They also DO NOT serve any type of food, but there are plenty of restaurants in very close proximity. If I am not mistaken, you are allowed to bring food in...Anyhow, you find the drink you want, scan your bracelet, and then fill you glass! Just that simple. The name and price will be displayed on the screen for whatever drink you decide on. Each drink gives the ounce that will be provided for that drink. Check them out! The employees are really helpful & it's just a all around good time. HAPPY DRINKING!!!
