Given the new Durham Food Hall opened up during the pandemic, it’s great to see its development over the past three years.! The space is very light, airy, and sunny, a more upscale approach to food halls in the area. There’s plenty of seating in this food hall along with a second-floor bar and lounge named the Riggs Lounge! And given my visits here over the past three years, it’s usually bustling with activity in this convenient location on Foster Street.

While the Durham Food Hall has lost some of the original vendors since opening, the new ones rotate in quite quickly and are solid. While drinks are available at most stalls, alcoholic beverages are purchased at the main bar in the center or from one of their refrigerated cases. And there are an excellent group of food stalls-vendors here at the Durham Food Hall! All local and of high quality so it’s hard to go wrong with a meal here.
