The Roxy

This place makes me feel fancy even when I'm in jeans. In a good way.

The Roxy is swanky inside, but not pretentious, and the friendliness of the bartenders helps a lot. I like that it's never crowded (though I hope they have a steady enough flow of customers to stay in business!), and that you can sit at the bar or on a cushioned bench along the wall. While I would love for the music to be jazzier to really transport me to a speakeasy-type place (which, I think, is what they're going for), the more popular music playing prompted a community sing-along the last time I was there. It's a memory I will cherish for a long, long time.

Here comes the most important part: the cocktails are great. I've had a few, and most recently I enjoyed a refreshing Moscow Mule that hit the spot. I try to be a one-cocktail kind of girl at The Roxy because you have to pay for that kind of quality, but it really is a treat. Plus, they have beer and specials if you're watching your budget.

So put on your best string of pearls--or don't; whatever--and get yourself a cocktail at The Roxy!

Cool little drink spot on Main Street in Durham. The place usually isn't crowded, and the bartenders are nice. There are lots of beers on tap, and prices are good. Only issue is that the place is small so if it does get crowded for some reason, I prob wouldn't want to be in there. Otherwise, def give it a try!

i really like this place. I feel like its a great place to meet a group of friends, chill out and have a couple of fancy drinks. I don't mind the dress codes (i'm not a fan of hats) and I am always hoping to show up when a jazz trio is jammin' in  the back. The owner has always remembered me and been really chill.  

I wish the seating was a little easier to shift around for bigger groups, and thought the cocktails are perfectly crafted, it does come with the price of patience. I have never been here on a busy night, but I'm fairly sure I'd get annoyed.

I will be frequenting the Roxy for quite a while.
