Best Dive Bars in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill | Eater Carolinas
"In December 2020, Criterion shuttered and locals mourned the loss of one of Durham’s best bars. Enter end of 2021 and Rubies enters the scene, taking over the second story of the building. Get into the bar by way of a discreetly marked entrance with crown signage, up a dimly lit red staircase, and into complete escapism. The team behind Luna Rotiserrie is responsible for bringing this divey-meets-music venue and bar to life. Find industry workers shooting Jager shots post-dinner shifts and catching up with locals at the bar or at intimate booths with dimly lit lamps. Live music and DJs are a big part of the equation and the team will open Remedy Room, a classic cocktail bar, in the downstairs space in 2022." - Jenn Rice
