Cute area for dining out. We really enjoyed Niko's. The service was great and the food was delicious. Parking was a little difficult on a Saturday evening, but we managed to eventually find something.

The food was ok. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. I may have to try a different pizza because the fried chicken pizza wasn’t what I expected it wasn’t that good. The mozzarella sticks were A1 yuuum. The mexicam cokes were icing on the cake. I’d try it again.

Historic 120+ year old remodeled tobacco warehouse located in Downtown Durham. Massive original wood beams run throughout the interior of the hallways. Houses many wonderful mom and pop business like a local art gallery 😊, gift shops, a jewelry store and restaurants. Keep it local yall!

There are some very unique restaurants and stores in Brightleaf Square with good variety. I will say that the diversity of stores is fairly good although they can be over priced depending on which store you're going to. Can't beat though that there is Market and Otis with a very large patio, Saint James with amazing seafood, Rose's with great eats and treats, Clouds Brewing, etc etc. Parking is available in 2 large lots.

Historic, fabulous, outdoor, walking shopping and eating district, loves and spent many fun days here. Satisfaction’s, Devine’s, Torreo’s long time staples in restaurants. School Kid Records, Bull City Olive Olive, boutiques, cafes, pastry and coffee shops, good place for kids and families. Parking it tight, few free wheelchair accessible parking spaces, small paid lot, some free parking near or behind some places like Devine’s. Downtown Durham parking is always tight or pay lot. Fun place, must visit when in Durham NC!
