"I found this gem after a show at DPAC. I had intentions of bar hopping but stayed here the entire night. The bartender Gabe is one of the best bartenders I’ve interacted with. As a bartender myself, I’ve interacted with my fair share. He’s friendly and outgoing. I didn’t have to wait for drinks as he was attentive as soon as I approached the bar. I had a great time shooting pool, playing darts, and talking to the locals. If there were metal signs with their logo, I’d have bought one to add to my collection. I’ll definitely be back."

"12/7/24 - a spot that's open until 2am! We had fun getting some drinks and playing darts. The bartender was super cool and nice. The atmosphere felt like where locals go. They had some other games to play like pool, and arcade games. They even have an older Juke box."

"It’s a dive bar, but really, it’s just an unpretentious place to drink decent stuff at a great price with cool chill people."

"I have been eagerly awaiting High Dive to open in downtown Durham and it did not disappoint. It is located in the old Quarter Horse location, and has the same owners as Bar Virgile and Annexe. I loved the Durham memorabilia inside and the casual atmosphere. They have several TVs playing sports as well as lots of games such as pinball, pool, foosball, darts, and Golden Tee. There is also a jukebox and free popcorn machine. Aside from drink options, patrons can also order nachos."

"Literally the best bartenders you could ask for at a bar. James, Gabe, and Drew are the absolute best. And as a queer person, I have never felt unsafe at this bar."
