Speakeasy - Durham

Been here twice now, tried some burgers and oysters with friends. Drinks were kinda pricey. Burgers well priced imo, oysters a little on the expensive side... HOWEVER On Tuesdays-Thursdays they have happy hour deals from 4-5 and oysters are a dollar. So obv we went back the next night. May be in some shallow debt but felt like I was making money this day. Ignorance is bliss! Thought it'd be all the smaller oysters that they wanted to get rid of before the normal dinner menu but they were same size. A couple small ones, but very clean and fresh tasting. We paired with some $5 Modelos. Non-pharmacological SSRI experience, if you will. Was a little dark in the nighttime, the ambience is very bar-centric, no one under 21 allowed. Servers are always very responsive and friendly. Will be back for a couple more dozen HH oysters soon.

Alley Twenty Six had great atmosphere and great drinks. The pimento cheese is delicious and I definitely recommend trying the other cheeses. Park in a nearby garage.

This bar was a great pit stop along our sunday funday bar hopping in Durham. The bar itself is really big with two sides and lots of seating. It was busy when we went but both the host and bartender were friendly and attentive. Their menu is unique and the tinned fish menu really caught my eye. If you love tinned fish like me then this is super exciting and if you don't then it's a great place to try it anyways because they have many variations. I have heard things about their burger and it was great! I would say it's the second best in the area which is a very high rating. The meat was delicious and flavorful. The fries it comes with are soooo good and I definitely have a new found love for a runny egg on my burger after eating here. The cocktails are also fun, different, and amazing.

Visited Alley Twenty Six for first time. 8 of us in the party. Food was good...shrimp sandwich was the winner. Burgers were good, too. Menu is rather basic...biggest ticket item was steak and frites or mussels. Adult cocktails were tasty though weak! Service was mediocre. Attn definitely needed to pre-bus!! Too many empty hands walking in and out of kitchen door. May return for small bites.

I came to Alley Twenty Six on a Tuesday evening and was able to find parking in the parking structure located near the restaurant. Street parking is also an option if available. I sat at the bar and placed my order. The bartender that I engaged with the most was nice. I didn't have much interaction with the other bartender. The restaurant had a welcoming feel. My food came out quickly. I got the alley jr. burger with fries and an order of the Nashville hot cauliflower. My French fries were hot and tasty. The burger was really good and I loved the topping combinations, and the cauliflower was flavorful. It was not too spicy. I would definitely come back again!
