Durham Food Hall

09/25/2026

DURHAM PRIDE IS ALL YEAR! At Durham Food Hall, we raise a glass to the pioneers who helped build our community through shared spaces and ideas crafted within them. We’ve partnered with the LGBTQ Center of Durham for a daily beverage series starting this Sunday and honoring Durham’s rich q***r history.

$2 from every featured cocktail or mocktail ordered goes directly to supporting the Center’s vital community work!

Swipe through to see the daily features and the history behind them:

❤️ SUNDAY (9/27) — The Pauli Murray Paloma
Honoring the Durham-raised legal scholar and writer whose groundbreaking work shaped civil rights and gender equality law.

🧡 MONDAY (9/28) — The ’81 March Mule
A nod to “Our Day Out,” North Carolina’s very first official statewide gay and le***an rights march that began and ended right at Five Points.

💛 TUESDAY (9/29) — The Wittman 75
Named for gay liberation pioneer Carl Wittman, who moved to Durham in 1981 and built crucial community health advocacy and organizing networks.

💚 WEDNESDAY (9/30) — The Feminary Gimlet
Inspired by Feminary (1969–1982), a Southern feminist journal from the Durham–Chapel Hill area that circulated q***r literature and ideas nationwide.

💙 THURSDAY (10/01) — The Blueberry Hill Collins
A tribute to one of Durham’s earliest explicitly gay bars—a vital physical safe haven where people gathered, organized, and found each other.

🔵 FRIDAY (10/02) — The Outsouth Bramble
Celebrating the OUTSOUTH Q***r Film Festival (est. 1995) hosted at the Carolina Theatre, a massive cultural anchor for the Southeast.

💜 SATURDAY (10/03) — The LGBTQ Center Royale
Honoring the LGBTQ Center of Durham itself. Our city’s essential hub for resources, connection, and the beautiful reason we are giving back!

Come through, learn our history, and drink for a cause!

It’s almost time for the new fall menu, which means we spent weeks naming drinks after the exact experience of trying to navigate our neighborhood on a busy night.

Whether you are tracking down a flashing pager, trying to parallel park on Foster St, or getting completely destroyed at chess by a 9-year-old, we made something to pair with it. (and yes, we made sure it goes with whatever you’re grabbing from the vendors).
drop a 🍂 if you’re ready for the actual menu reveal.

👇🏽 tell us your absolute favorite food hall interaction in the comments.

P.S. Don’t worry we meant to post the last slide 😉
