Welcome to Durham’s Original Wine Bar!

West End Wine Bar has been a mainstay in the Triangle since 1997. Nestled in the heart of Durham, our upscale atmosphere is perfect for whatever your evening has in store, whether it’s a casual night out or a date night dressed to the nines. We have an elegant bar downstairs, cozy seating areas on our mezzanine, and a chic outdoor patio where you can enjoy your favorite drinks al fresco. Choose a cozy corner inside or bask in the fresh air as you unwind with friends, colleagues, or that special someone.

Something for Everyone

We offer 40+ wines by the glass, ranging from classic to the esoteric, along with additional selections by the bottle.

Not so sure about wine?

We’ve also got a full bar, custom cocktails, and more than two dozen beers, hard seltzers, and ciders. It’s an experience for everyone, wine enthusiast or not!

Feeling Peckish?

What is wine without delicious food? Sometimes you're ready for dinner, and sometimes you just need a snack to tide you over. We offer a wide range of house-made bar bites, charcuterie, and artisanal cheeses alongside fan-favorite entrées like our prosciutto blt, flatbreads, and our signature chilled sesame noodles with our special recipe Szechuan chile oil.

Memorable Events

In addition to our regular live music events and wine tastings, we also have beautiful private spaces perfect for everything from intimate gatherings to lavish parties. From birthdays and corporate celebrations to cocktail hours and weddings, our dedicated event coordinator will ensure you have everything you need for your gathering.
