The Alley burger comes stuffed with foie gras if you know to ask, which tells you most of what you need to know about this craft cocktail bar and small-plates spot tucked into downtown Durham. The seasonal cocktail menu rotates with actual intention, and the food goes well past bar snacks. A James Beard nominee for Outstanding Bar Program, it draws the kind of crowd that takes both the drinks and the kitchen seriously.
