The Rickhouse

We were here for The Bull City Holiday and Wine Soirée.
The venue was spacious. Parking wasn’t so good. We had to walk a couple blocks to get there.
The event itself had lots of LOCAL food tastings. We enjoyed it. But in order to taste the wine, you had to buy a glass for $ 10. I think you could keep the glass but there was NO mention of this fee in the event info. I thought that was a bit misleading on their part. The wine tasting wasn’t FREE as they advertised.

What a wonderful space! Downtown Durham is SO going in the right direction!
The Rickhouse’s back patio overlooks right field of the old Durham Bulls ballpark (think Bull Durham!). It is a large, well ventilated space with large-​screen electronics, a marvelous sound system and a soon-​to-​be-​added craft brewery. It is comfortable… Spacious, yet intimate.
During this occasion (a freebie hosted and paid for by The Rickhouse), the food was carted by Durham Catering. It was outstanding (although steak knives would have been appropriate). The open bar was absolutely wonderful, and our hosts were ever so gracious!
I have no doubt that these folks will make a wonderful addition to the downtown Durham scene, and provide a terrific venue for many weddings, as well as other receptions.
Cheers!

Had the chance to check out this all new venue space tonight. Owned by the founders of Tyler’s have opened up this cool space, part event space and part micro distillery. Tonight they showcased the event venue a great historic building looking out to the original Durham Bulls stadium the Durham Athletic Park. I have to say it’s a pretty awesome view.
Conveniently located close to the Marriott and other restaurants it’s a great spot for a wedding venue & reception. They have several caterers on board for the space many of the top caterers in the Triangle to choose from.
I really enjoyed the mix between the indoor and outdoor space. What I presume would be the dance floor space where they served the food tonight was really dark but with some extra lighting will look great.
Great addition to Durham. You really can’t beat the space and the prime location
