Proximity Brewing

New black-owned brewery with a parking lot and relaxing vibe. They have a few of their own beers and lots of other minority owed beers, wines, and liquors to try. Service was friendly and prompt.

Let's kick off 2024 with one of the newer beer bars, Proximity Brewing Co.! Located over in E. Durham, this black-owned business sits on the corner of Driver and E. Peabody in the same block as Mike D's BBQ. Mod and cozy at the same time, there's a main beer bar and 4-top seating in front, primarily in blacks and white with a back lounge area with comfortable couches. Proximity is primarily doing guest beers right now, I'm guessing they still need to spin up their brewing operations! 14 options on the draft list at about $7 a pint. Overall I like the space and what they're trying to do, the main challenge will be parking since there's very little street-side and pretty sure you'll have to hoof it over to this location. Overall a cool spot that's worth the walk...

Attended a birthday party at Proximity. The service was fantastic, owner an absolute charm, and I took home the black currant cider because it's so delicious. My friend was impressed with all their bourbons. Excellent place!!

Brewery is dope. Beautiful brewery and lots of space in the courtyard. Excellent service and hospitality by owner Mike. The Proud Shoes Brown Ale and Hayti Haze beers are top notch and satisfying. Definitely will be back soon.
