Great place! What an idea! I just loved it! You can see how much you poured and how much it costed you. So so many options to try! It has outside and inside seating areas. I was just amazed by the place and definitely recommend visiting if you are around.
A favorite place to stop in at while downtown. The pour-your-own wristband system is more or less custom flights, which is great for trying out new stuff, and if you're wanting to keep your alcohol intake relatively low it's easy to just get small samples to taste. I've discovered a number of very interesting beers and ciders here. Staffing tends to be minimal, as you get your own drinks. They've recently started experimenting with adding in kombucha to the lineup, for non-drinkers in a group. Overall, one of my two go-to bars in Durham.
Big taproom, and BYOFood is OK. Pour your own and sample them all! At least 30 draft beers, ciders and wines on tap. Get your wristband at the front desk and tap, pour, enjoy :) was surprised they had a mead! Meadjito! So good
We booked the entire place for a private party. The manager was wonderful to work with. Everyone loved being able to sample different drinks, and the room was very comfortable. We all had a wonderful time. They do not serve food at this time, but they helped us in setting up the food we brought in for the party.
This place was awesome. Awesome. They had beers, siders and even wines. Different flavors of different stuff I’ve never even heard of or thought could be made into beer. The staff was super friendly and super knowledgeable. They even have outdoor games you can play while you drink on the patio!! We had a great time!!
A great concept. Their selection is huge and tasty. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Will come back for sure. I wish more bars would adopt this concept.
Pour is a great place to meet with friends! It's got a really friendly vibe. I go there often with friends. Although I don't drink alcohol, for someone who does, you'll be spoilt for choices of beers and wine. Once you start a tab you get a smart band that can be used to 'Pour' straight into your glasses off their wall full of taps! How cool is that!
Cool concept, lots of fun. Great and plentiful beer selection.
