This Week at Durham Distillery + Conniption Bar & Lounge 🍸

Martini Week starts here.

National Martini Day is Friday. World Martini Day is Saturday. So this week, we’re leaning into the cocktail that asks for more from the bottle: cold, clean, structured, and never casual.

At Conniption Bar & Lounge, we’ll be celebrating with Mini Martini Thursday, Martini weekend energy, and the kind of freezer-cold pours that make the details matter.

And this is why the Martini belongs here.
The spirits are made upstairs.
The cocktails are poured downstairs.
The whole thing is celebrated right here in Durham.

Behind the Scenes Tours are still Buy 1, Get 1 50% off with code WORLDGIN, and Quick Tours are an easy way to stop in, sip, and see what makes the spirits work.

Not in a gin Martini mood? Damn Fine Vodka and VACUO Cucumber Vodka are $5 off all month at Durham Distillery and NC ABC stores.

Start upstairs.
End downstairs.
Make it Martini Week. 🍸

World Gin Day is tomorrow, and we’re making a weekend of it. 🍸

We’ve been starting with the most popular gin serve — the Gin & Tonic — because it is simple, refreshing, and endlessly personal.

Build one at home with a bottle from Durham Distillery, or let us pour one for you downstairs at Conniption Bar & Lounge.

The World Gin Month menu is pouring all weekend, and Behind the Scenes Tours are still on flash sale:

✨Buy 1, Get 1 50% off with code WORLDGIN ✨

Start upstairs.
End downstairs.
Come raise a glass this weekend.

World Gin Day is Saturday, June 13, and we’re starting the lead-up with the most popular gin serve: the Gin & Tonic.

Simple build. Long history. Endless ways to make it yours.

Gin, tonic, ice, garnish — the details make the drink, and this week we’re exploring why the G&T has lasted, why quality tonic matters, and why a simple serve can still say a lot about the gin behind it.

Rather have a Vodka Tonic? We’ve got you there too. Damn Fine Vodka and VACUO Cucumber Vodka are $5 off all month at Durham Distillery and NC ABC stores.

Add in $7 Wednesday Classics at Conniption Bar & Lounge, and you’ve got a very good reason to make plans this week.

Make a real plan of it this week: Behind the Scenes Tours are Buy 1, Get 1 50% off with code WORLDGIN.
Start upstairs. End downstairs. Stay awhile.

June is here, and we’re starting strong. ☀️

At Conniption Bar & Lounge, World Gin Month has officially begun.

Not just a day. Not just a week. A full month of gin, the Conniption way.

We’re celebrating all month with a special menu built around the spirit we know best — classic inspiration, modern builds, bright botanicals, and a few necessary Conniption twists.

Not feeling Gin? We’ve got you. Our June bottle specials are here too: Damn Fine Vodka and VACUO Cucumber Vodka are $5 off all month at the distillery and NC ABC stores.

Add in summer cocktail class specials, Quick Tours, and $9 Spritz Sundays, and you’ve got plenty of reasons to make June plans with us.
