Conniption Bar & Lounge

Durham, North Carolina

Conniption Bar & Lounge is the cocktail bar of Durham Distillery, on the lower level of the distillery building on Washington Street, founded by Melissa and Lee Katrincic. It opened in October 2020 as Corpse Reviver, a name that now returns each autumn as a Halloween pop-up. The menu is built on the house Conniption gins and Damn Fine spirits, with martinis poured from the freezer, house-made tonics and syrups, a seasonal cocktail list and spirit-free drinks. Entry is 21 and over, since the bar sits inside a working distillery.
