It's a tiny little place, about the size and shape of a train car. When we walked in the bar was packed three deep. There was a street festival going on outside and the bartender was absolutely slammed with people ordering drinks and beers to go. Because of that all the drinks were being served in Red Solo cups -- so much for my pretty cocktail. Oh well, I'll just have to go back! I ordered the Bucked in Mexico and it was absolutely delicious. So good. The atmosphere was great -- lots of friendly people, music fitting to a saloon and a nice little outdoor area.

They have a nice selection of cocktails, many of which seem crafted to honor the local vibe. I had a cocktail containing a house distilled gin. Delicious. They also let my husband sample two of the house distilled gins before he ordered a gin and tonic. He was very happy. Kennedy, our friendly, knowledgeable server, brought out complimentary cornbread with brown butter/molasses butter and tomato soup shooters. Yum. They offer two- and three-course price fix menus, and for a few dollars more, you can make it a wine pairing. My husband did that, and I ordered off of the regular menu. His collard green salad was sensational! He couldn't stop raving about it even as he was finishing it up. His second course was filet mignon, and it was the most savory, tasty filet I've ever had! I had lemon risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - it was delicious as well. We were at the Hackney to celebrate closing on our house in Washington, and we made the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner. We will be back!

We walked in without a reservation, but I would recommend making one if you want better seating options. It was raining during our visit, but we were still able to enjoy dining indoors. Out waiter was friendly, answered all of our questions, and gave us some great recommendations. Now for the food, everything came out hot which is always a plus. The wings were small however the sauce was tasty! We tried to figure out what sauce they use lol they said it was restaurant made. They were out of a few menu items, which was a little disappointing but thankfully the food we did order made up for it. The homemade mashed potatoes were a highlight and carrots were well seasoned and full of flavor. My partner had great things to say about the pork chop as well. The lemon drop was another win for me! It didn't have an overpowering lemon flavor and I would definitely order it again. One thing to keep in mind is that they offer a seasonal menu so some items may not always be available depending on when you visit. Overall we enjoyed the ambience, service and food.

The views are always a plus when coming here, no doubt about that.

The crab cakes were okay, not as flavorful as I had them before, but the fingerlings were tasteful, the shrimp had a good grilled flavor, I ordered an $8 side of shrimp and received six pieces, which I thought was a little odd for a side order, my drink was nice and strong. Unfortunately, my wifes salmon was completely burnt on the bottom which was disappointing. Our food had already taken so long to come out that by that point, we didn't even want to wait around to have the issue addressed or the salmon remade. My wifes drink was also very syrupy and overly sweet, we addressed this with the bartender and she said she could add another shot for $8, we kindly declined and she took it off our bill which was nice. The service from the bartender was good, our food just took way too long and then we spent all that time waiting only for the meal itself to be mediocre. The views and atmosphere are still great, but the food experience this time around definitely fell short.

When you walk in you'll need to either take the elevator or stairs up to the third floor. Once inside the bar you'll feel like you've been transported to an upscale, tropical bar. To order you'll need to walk up to the bar to place your order. I ordered the Hot Girl Summer (Olmeca Altos Reposado, fresh watermelon, Gran Gala orange liqueur, house-made habanero syrup, lime, salt half rim) which was so good. I also ordered a cheetahs do it in the dark (Astral Añejo tequila, Licor 43, Caffè Borghetti liqueur, espresso, orange twist) which was also excellent. I'd recommend walking out to the rooftop if it isn't too hot. There are several tables and the views of the city are nice. Definitely will come back to the velvet hippo next time I'm in Durham.
