Pinhook one of the lasting venues in the ever-changing Durham North Carolina known as The Bull City home of the Duke Blue Devils yes we went out to watch a up-and-coming artist Jay guns from Durham he was okay he could do a lot better on his marketing promotions as well as have a better sound guy in house here since Im a Sign by myself it was a bit difficult to hear anexo system sound so bad but we got through the evening we enjoyed the show the atmosphere was very diverse lots of people there enjoy the artist and actually talked about bringing other artist there amongst the artist managers who were in the building and sharing an evening observing this J guns artist from Durham the management was all of course at the door and was very cheerful collecting the tickets I notice that the ticket cost is very very from time to time and thats good thats good at this location great location Grapevine you bring your artist there and do an album release party it will be essential to keep the independent Market open help the Pinhook stay in business we hope to see you out there just do a little bit better with the sound guy he didnt have a clue what it was doing using the Venice board at all but all in all we got through it great venue good bar good and great cold drinks see you again this Saturday July 9th

Went with my fiancé for the 1st time (being that Greensboro lgbtq nightlife is so played, needed a change of scenery and Winston has absolutely no LGBTQ venues at all!!) and we really enjoyed ourselves. Didnt enjoy some of the odors coming off of ppl in there but the music was acceptable, the drinks were strong and the entertainment was actually entertaining. It was worth the hour drive!! No drama!! Just good people and good fun!!

The bartender/manager is cool. He helped me out when I needed it. Yup, forgot some things on the dresser. Amex is no good here so I learned about Notty Bo. Uber is a good way to get here. The omni-sexual restrooms were a surprise. I liked how karaoke participants support each other. Heard some fantastic pipes and earnest renditions. Learned that Shonen Knife and SCOTS are active in this century. Rock on!

Hipsters missing their grungy big-city haunts will feel right at home at the Pinhook - and thats meant in the best way possible. Outspoken, progressive, and unabashedly cool, the Pinhook and its team of PBR-pushers have made it a must-visit for those patrons who are tired of typical Triangle bars.

Pinhoom is to Durham what Cats Cradle is to Carrboro. A lil dingy and grimy but a great place to go for music shows. Decent bar, open space for dancing or crowds. Smaller than the Cradle, but some pretty amazing shows and events come thru here. Check their calendar often!

Been here once and it was a pleasant experience. We were a large group and the bartender was able to accommodate us without hassle. Good beer selection and relaxing atmosphere. Im sure its a much different place during peak hours/live performances.

Ive happened to wander into the Pinhook for all the following amazing, strange, welcoming events: *Karaoke *A Sing Along *Hedwig and the Angry Inch *A Metal Show *An Indy Rock Show *A Dress Up Dance Party You name it, they got it! Cheers.

I cant say I liked it. The acts are always terrible. If I wanted to see karaoke-grade musicians, Id go to a karaoke bar. Nobody is ever dancing, and the people usually look like they want to disappear into the walls. Uncool.

Every time I have been to Pinhook it has been a week day and there has been an"event" Belly dance night, Meet the Beaver Queen Contestants...Fundraising for animals in distress, they neighborhood together.

Fun venue for smaller bands and local talent. Also a great bar with friendly bar staff and a bunch of alcohol. I got pretty drunk here once, which is how I know. I still had a blast.

Super-friendly and cosy live music venue with much more to offer than just concerts such as trivia, dance parties, and lots of other activities! Great selection of drinks too.

Hipster overload. Always seems to be empty, and under-full even with a band. Kinda like hanging out in someones slightly junky living room, but with good lighting and a bar.

Great concert venue. Ive seen some excellent touring bands as well as my favorite local artists. The micro-brew drafts give the place a very local and welcoming feel.

Great beer and prices and an awesome atmosphere. Bartenders were very personable and the owner was serving beer when we got there. Alternative style. Live music.

It was hot as hell but worth every minute, the show was great and the energy of the staff was dope. A true staple in Durham that welcomes EVERYONE.

The YOLO karaoke was a joke, too many people means you barely get a turn. They should call it YOGO: You Only Go Once. Nasty bathroom too.

So last night was my first time here. Everyone was very friendly; patrons and staff. Relaxed atmosphere and great venue for live music.

Almost singlehandedly responsible for the revitalization of that section of Main street, THE place to see smaller shows downtown.

Pinhook hosts local and national bands as well as a few great monthly dance parties, movies and popcorn, and tue trivia nights.

Decent beer selection for a small place, friendly bartenders, and good local music seems to filter through here.
