The July 4 fireworks have come and gone, yet we\u2019re still weeks away from sweltering August humidity. That means there\u2019s still time to milk every pleasantly warm evening hour: it\u2019s rooftop bar season.<\/span><\/p>\n We take you on a tour of the four Durham rooftops in preparation for a fifth, The Lenny, coming in fall 2024. This restaurant will sit alongside its peers in the center of downtown Durham, with a nice view over the Durham Bulls stadium to rival that of Tobacco Road. Four is not as limited as it sounds. It turns out this selection has you covered for whatever your plan is\u2014be it girls night, first date, pool day, or watch party.<\/span><\/p>\n If you park your car in The Chapel Hill Street Garage, the pedestrian exit spits you out straight in front of The Velvet Hippo Bar & Lounge.<\/span><\/p>\n
