106 Main

106 Main is a divey spot. We stopped in to grab a drink (I went with a beer) and watch a hockey game and had a good time. Based on the reviews I'll have to try one of their cocktails next time.

106 Main is a funky and cool bar to grab a drink prior to or after a show at DPAC. It's a bit eclectic and hipster like most of downtown Durham is. They have an extensive cocktail, beer and wine list and pretty much can make whatever you'd like. I saw that they had a nice selection of bourbons on the shelf and they offer seasonal cocktail choices. Definitely check it when in Durham.

Let me show this place some love, right down the street from Luna's and Bar virgile i knew this place was a bar/dive with some TV's. I needed to catch a game, i ordered an old fashioned which was well made. They also had complimentary cheese, nachos and beef chilli i believe. I dabbled in the cheese and nachos which were good, once i finished my drink i was out, since the game that was on was not competitive.

I had the best Manhattan ever (actually I had 2) while we were waiting for our show to start at the DPAC. They have a great drink selection of mixed drinks, beer, whiskey and bourbons. The bartenders were really cool too. We will definitely return if we're in the area.

They are not closed, unless this Negroni is a figment of my imagination. The Fot-Li vermouth was a spicy surprise! Decent music (not rap, not painfully loud!) loads of booths, great bar service, deep liquor selection. A group of us came here after game night and had a drink and a chat. Really chill vibe, not too loud so you can hear your friends conversations!

I love 106 main, it's a great dive-y but not grungy vibe. The drink menu is also great, with beer and cocktails. It's also CHEAP--I got a $5 gin and tonic which alone made my visit to 106 main worth it. Maybe this was a holiday special or something but either way it made my night. The specialty cocktails are also tasty and well portioned. The space itself has a bar, booths, and tables, with low lighting and low ceilings. The outside is unassuming but don't let that fool you--this is a terrific establishment and I will be making it a regular in my downtown Durham bar rotation.Flavor: 5/5Ambiance: 4/5Location: 5/5Service: 5/5Would return?

Good place for a great cocktail and some cheap beer. I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now but never jumped around in the area. When walking up to it and walking in it's divey with the walls being mirrors, but the cocktail list has some kick ass cocktails. Their liquor selection is along the whole back wall at the bar. If you can't find anything you like, you may have a problem. They don't have he. Easy or Red Bull, but really other than that, they have it all!They had hotdogs and chips out for anyone who wanted to grab a bite to eat which was great for us! We grabbed some chips since we were pretty hungry but wanted to start with a cocktail first. I had the pineapple martini and was impressed with it! My boyfriend had an old fashioned and it was really good! Don't judge this place by how it looks, because they can make a mean cocktail or two!

I came to Durham from Raleigh because my significant other is obsessed with Pie Pushers pizza, so we decided to stop in for a drink at 106 main and order the pizza as takeout. They had a decent sized crowd and the bartenders were still exceedingly friendly and conversational. If I lived closer I would definitely make this my go-to local place to grab a drink and watch a sporting event. There are a lot of similar places in Raleigh but they just never make you feel comfortable and at home like 106 did. (Did I mention the friendly bartenders?)I loved their martini menu! It included all of the popular favorites and some with a twist. (The almond Joygasm was delicious!)

Stopped in this bar one night out with friends. It's fine, your typical small hole-in-the wall local place but nothing fancy. The decor is dated but there were plenty of places to sit which was nice. The drink I had (I believe it was an infused lemonade or another similar cocktail) was very good and they did have a large drink menu. At the time we were there (probably about 10pm on a Saturday) it did not appear they were serving food. I'm not sure if they do at other times of the day or not. I think we were also the only people in the bar aside from another group of 2 so it definitely doesn't seem like a popular hangout but could be a good choice if you are looking for somewhere less crowded with seating. Overall, a decent bar but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

Great prices for drinks! Good atmosphere to chill with friends and have a few. Would definitely recommend this place to pregame!
