The 9th Street Journal guide to dining out in Durham on Monday nights

Hungry? Better hope it’s not Monday night. 

Many popular Bull City restaurants are closed on the first day of the work week. It’s a problem that Durhamites know all-too-well: the struggle of looking to satisfy their Monday munchies only to find their favorite eatery is closed until Tuesday. 

To help, we’ve put together this guide of the restaurants that ARE open for dinner on Mondays – because no one deserves to recover from “Sunday scaries” on an empty stomach. We’ll update it as necessary with any changes or additional restaurants that we hear about. Email us at 9thstreetjournal@duke.edu to let us know if there’s something we missed or if hours have changed.
