No food for us today, but in the past the food trucks have had great tasting food. From an Old Fashion, a Whiskey Sour, a Hummingbird Helles Lager and a flight of their new selection was a treat for the five of us. Each had their favorites. Of course a couple bottles traveled back home with us.

My husband and I visited recently for a bourbon tasting, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our mixologist, Berkay, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He shared the history behind each spirit and walked us through the tasting notes in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely enjoyable. The food menu was another big win, especially as someone who eats vegan. They offered vegan options, which made the experience feel inclusive and well thought out This is a fantastic spot for date night, a girls' night, or celebrating something special. They also host tastings, cocktail classes, private parties, and bachelor or bachelorette events, which makes it a great option for future plans. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable experience in Durham that feels both fun and thoughtfully done.

We weren't even sure anyone would be inside Weldon Mills - thankfully they were. As you walk in it's just such a big space, lots of seating areas and visual interest.

We had such a nice time just relaxing and getting out of the rain. Sadly, I did not take note of the names of the cocktails that we got, but it is nice to see. They have a rotational menu. The drinks were fall themed. We will definitely come back!

It's a place where the stills serve as a beautiful backdrop, the drinks pour smoother than gossip at the diner, and the locals say the spirits are only half the reason folks come back. Sink into their seating like it's giving you a bourbon-scented hug. With cozy nooks, repurposed barrels, and wood tones warmer than your grandpa's campfire stories, this is where rustic charm meets 'never leaving this spot' comfort. Whether you're rocking on the porch with a cigar or kicked back inside, behind the bar you'll find Johnny and Kristi--part mixologists, part mind readers, and all-around good-time specialists. They got a pour smoother than a Sunday sermon, and a charm could sweeten straight bourbon. Come for the booze, stay for the buzz--it's Main Street's best-kept not-so-secret. Cheers!

Drinks range from $10-$15 which is around the ballpark I expected. Staff were sweet, gave us suggestions on what to try, and also checked in on us quite often.

I honestly can drink any of these rums neat because as a rum girl I do like rum neat but the white rum especially is a great mixer as well.

You can easily drink the Procrastinator neat but it also goes great in an old fashioned. The Sweet Dark is so unique and is again great neat. Everytime I've been to the distillery they have always been so nice and friendly. They give free tours and tastings of all their products afterwards.
