    Cocktail bar Cozy atmosphere Seasonal ingredients Handcrafted ceramics Local flavors
    Tucked beneath The Durham Hotel, Kingfisher is a cozy cocktail bar that showcases North Carolina's seasonal produce in its inventive drinks. The intimate basement setting features a horseshoe-shaped bar and hand-thrown ceramic plates by co-owner Michelle Vanderwalker. Signature cocktails like the 'Fresh Blacktail Watermelon' and 'Tomato Gibson' highlight local flavors, while snacks such as Nashville hot chicken sandwiches and North Carolina charcuterie complement the menu. The bar has earned national recognition, including a James Beard nomination in 2023.
