The Scene – Quirky Ringside tempts guests to wander through old hallways, up precarious staircases and across peculiar balconies--only to stop and absorb the sights and sounds of the bar's adventurous setup. The first floor resembles an old jazz club, with seating nooks ringing a stage area. Climb a couple more "Alice in Wonderland" staircases to a huge studio--half the space is a cozy sitting area flanked with bookshelves, sofas and a DJ spinning a mix of organic and electronic sounds; the other half houses a large bar. You may wonder how Ringside operates, with its tight passageways,…

A fun place to party.

Several of us T-girls ended up the night at Ringside on Saturday. The club was just what they advertize so we did have a lot of fun wandering around the different floors until we settled at the 4th floor bar. Music was good and had some variety, just like the patrons. The club wasn't overly crowed so we had room to dance next to bar and really had a good time. The staff was very friendly and the other patrons accepted us just like anyone else. Definately a place that we will visit again.
- Pros: Friendly Staff, Interesting Layout, Excellent Music Mix
- Cons: High Entry Fee, Floor can be uneven

Ringside is having a good run of it. It's definitely got the best atmosphere in Durham, if you're looking for something a little different. The lounge upstairs is great. The music is always eclectic and good. The atmosphere is a lot of fun. The cover charge is a bit steep, but better if you're a member. The drinks are also on the expensive side, and the service isn't great in the main floor bar (better upstairs where it's less crowded). I'd say this is still the best place to go in Durham.
- Pros: cool atmosphere, good music, really fun
- Cons: somewhat expensive

Best place in Durham

I have been to Ringside a few times in the past year, and I can honestly say that each time I go is better than the next. Friendly bartenders, an eclectic crowd and always excellent music. I have seen everything from a Drag King show to Bollywood night. A fantastic place to have a few drinks (PBR is $1.50!) and dance the night away. Don't worry if you get there early and you think no one is showing up. The place doesn't really get started until about midnight!
- Pros: atmosphere, people watching, diverse

Nestled in the midst of the downtown Durham business district, you'll have to be buzzed in at the door. If you get no response at first, be patient.
