Beer Study-Durham

This place is wonderful and has a very communal vibe. The beer selection is out of this world and there's tons of space to hang out indoors and outside on the patio.

This place has some good beer. I tried 4 beers and loved all of them. There Hefe is awesome. Prices are also pretty reasonable. They even have beer and wine to shop. This establishment is connected with another establishment where you can get some food and they have a bar too. Service was quick and good. Ambiance inside is pretty huge and could have been decorated more nicely. But overall it’s good. They have an awesome outside seating too.

Outstanding draft and bottle selection, knowledgeable staff, perfect for enjoying a pint. During warm weather the garage door doors get rollers up. Bonus points for having Starpoint brewing in the back, plenty of old school arcade machines and loads of food options next door/across the street.

I had been warned about Beer Study - Durham, that the beer is great but the service is very sketchy. I just went there and I get it! I got a beer and the guy serving me was very friendly. But when I went to pay, it was a different guy and a totally different experience. There were ten people in line and all I needed to do is close out. I asked the guy in the front of the one if minded me jumping in to close out, and he said it was fine. But the guy at the till refused to close me out and told me to get at the end of the line. I decided to walk, knowing the tip they would add to my still open bill would likely be less than I would have added, IF guy at the till number two had treated me like guy number one. As I walked out, someone saw the whole incident and stopped me to say, “The same thing has happened to me before, and I walked, too.” Now I understand what my friend who frequents Beer Study Chapel Hill means when he says why he drives from Durham to CH: “I get treated rudely by staff at Durham and I never get that in CH.” I’ll be joining him in CH in the future!

Nice selection. However, bartender was less than helpful. After asking a few questions we asked for a taste of the one we were considering. We were told, "We don't give samples." Didn't seem to be interested in our business so we left.

Really terrible staff. Extremely rude.

Energetic and friendly bartenders, and the astounding collection of beers on tap is varied enough for everyone to find something they like. I Also love that they have a nice wine selection. Plenty of outdoor seating, and food is available next door at the Boot Room!
