    Went for a company lunch and it was a perfect pick for a group. I had the BLT and it was delicious, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, and really good toasted bread. You can tell they put care into their sandwiches. It's a soccer pub vibe, super casual and welcoming, not too loud even during lunch, and service was quick and friendly. Great spot for a work lunch. Would definitely come back to try more of the menu.

    I visited this establishment during a quick trip to the area. It was a weekend evening in this place was jumping with music and people, but my party was able to be seated quickly. The food in the service were good, but it was a very quick visit. I will try to get back to the area again soon.

    Great wings
    Janet C.

    The smoked wings were delicious. They tasted more air fried or baked than deep fried which was a plus. The sauerkraut sausage with pretzel bun wasn't my thing. Super flavorful and huge and juicy but just wasn't into the flavor profile. My husband loved it. The pimento Mac and cheese is definitely more of a preference thing because my daughter said it tastes very "different", my husband thought it tasted like how his mom used to make it which he loved, and I wasn't a fan. It wasn't objectionable but just not my cup of tea. Something to note is that the pimento taste is very mild and not spicy whatsoever for those who may be concerned. Service was good. Great spot to bring your pup. The outdoor area is VERY dog friendly and they have a tap at the end of the bar specifically for filling dog water bowls which they provide. Cool spot with good food. Would return.

    Bang-Bang Tots & Wings
    Juyoung S.

    The Boot Room is the adjoining restaurant to Beer Study Durham so it's a great spot if you're looking for a casual spot to hang out with friends! While the majority of their menu consists of sandwiches and burgers, my most go-to and recommendation is their Cobb salad which is hearty and delicious! I also often order their tots and love the sauces they come with.

    Side bar

    First time checking out this place and it was very kewl. You walk in and there are tables and booths in various stations of the restaurant. TVs placed everywhere and lots of soccer memorabilia. You can also purchase merchandise. There is a full bar towards the side with more seating and TVs. I ordered a burger with fries, which was good even though they missed the bacon I had ordered with it. A chicken sandwich and a hot dog, both with fries and some chicken wings. The wings had a smoky flavor to them. Very different to anything I had tried before. My kiddo did not like her hot dog. Unfortunately, I did not try it so can't comment on it. You order at the checkout counter and they give you a number then you seat. They bring the food to you once ready. The place had arcades so it was great for kids and even had seating outdoors if you want to get away from the noise. Very kewl spot. Would love to check it out for a soccer match without the kiddos.

    Yummy food + fun, casual atmosphere! During my most recent visit we had a group of 7 of us and sat in the front area - if you keep walking towards the back they have lots of different sections. My Carolina Cobb salad was great! You just order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring your food to your table. I also like how you can go right into BeerStudy next door to find a fun drink!

    Vegan Burger with Pimento Macaroni and Cheese. It comes with 1 pickle, the other was my mom's.
    Lauren F.

    I ordered a vegan burger with Pimento cheese Macaron andi cheese, the French onion dip and the Grilled Nutella. If this restaurant has one flaw, it's the lack of flavor. The burger was good, but I added my own flavoring at home. The chips are great, but the dip has absolutely no flavor at all. We could not figure out how to save that and ended up trashing the dip. The mac was really good, but you cannot taste the paminto cheese. The grilled Nutella was delicious! My mom, got a burger with tater tots. She told me it was good, but didn't have much flavor either. This was a solid 3.5 stars!

    The Virgil Sandwich  Sweet Potato Fries with Brown Sugar
    Erica P.

    A super solid pub-style eatery connected to Beer Study with great service, great food, and a vibe that makes me want to stay all day and watch soccer. Menu has options for all sorts of dietary restrictions and preferences without making you feel like you have limited options, which is always a plus, and in addition to their cans and bottles, you can always walk through the threshold to order a drink from Beer Study! It was honestly difficult for me to decide what to eat because there were so many great-sounding options. I was inspired to order the Virgil (fish sandwich) at the suggestion of the guy in line in front of me and I have absolutely no regrets--delicious!! Parking lot is a bit of a disaster, so definitely plan to come early if there's a game on.

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.

While the ambiance was pleasant, the literal chairs that we were sitting in were falling apart and actually hazardous to the point that we advised the manager that the chairs had dangerously wobbly legs. Our server seemed pleasant and we ordered wings, a chicken sandwich, the Main Street old fashioned and the Ehh what's up doc. The drinks took a while to come out but they were delicious. Our food on the other hand took about 40 minutes to come out. The menu indicated that my sandwich came with kettle cooked chips but l didn't expect that it would be a literal bag of chips. I actually expected the chips to be made in house so it would be good if the menu actually said "bag of chips". Our server stated that the delay was because there was a large order that came into the kitchen but the large party that was there was actually leaving and didn't leave with a large food order. As it turns out, the food that came out before ours belonged to our server and her friends who were eating at another table close to the bar. We declined the free drink we were offered as an apology and had beignets to-go instead but being lied to about the reason for the wait on what appeared to be a slow night was unacceptable. Do better.

We also had the citrus lavender crème brûlée, which was surprisingly delicious. I don't usually go for crème brûlée, but this one was light, not overly sweet, and just had a really nice flavor. I've also tried their shepherd's pie before and loved it--wish it was still on the menu! The vibe inside is moody and cozy, and they've got a cute outdoor patio too. Overall, such a great spot.
