Durham’s Best Cocktail Tour

Where Every Stop is Happy Hour

From Tobacco Road to Cocktail Row — Durham's Drinking Culture Has Never Tasted Better.

Sip, stroll, and discover the stories behind one of North Carolina's most vibrant food and drink scenes.

Bull City Cocktails is a guided walking tour through the heart of Durham, NC — where craft spirits, bold flavors, and rich history come together in one unforgettable evening. Over two hours, you'll visit three of Durham's most distinctive spots, enjoy a full craft cocktail and food pairing at each stop, and hear the stories that make the Bull City one of a kind.
