I apologized and left embarrassed and in tears.Their Instagram account later posted about it and tagged me, which felt like further piling on rather than addressing the service issue privately.The venue itself has a cool intimate music setup and seems popular for local shows, which is great. But this experience with customer service was really disappointing and made me feel unwelcome. Potential patrons should know that a simple declined card can turn into public humiliation here.

I'm a U.S. Navy Veteran and was having a conversation in this establishment with another veteran. At some point, a female and her friend decided to interject and tell us how what we were talking about was wrong. Fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion. At that point, the bartender kicked me out, and let them stay. After asking why I was being removed, he simply said that I had been there longer! These girls were trashed! If you want a good experience in Hillsborough, NC; do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. This establishment cators to liberal politics and agendas. You will absolutely NOT receive fair treatment here, especially if you are a Veteran!

Very speedy service all of their bartenders are very sweet and will fix whatever drink to your liking The vibes are disco balls on the ceiling very open very Miami Beach vibes they have an indoor and an outdoor seating area not only that they have fireplaces. If you get a little too far from their heated porch area! The vibes just don't stop. They have an aesthetic fireplace in side as well as a fake tree in the middle beautiful for taking pictures Their bathrooms are adorable, but you might have to wait a little bit on a busy day. But this is the same problem with every bar. Very glad that they have more than one bathroom.

Stopped by the Velvet Hippo while out in downtown Durham. When you arrive parking can be a bit…read moretricky in this area as you'll need to find street parking or park in a nearby lot. 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.
