A night at Alley Twenty Six is guaranteed fun
A local cocktail bar and restaurant located in Durham, N.C. featuring upscale food and cocktail pairings in a relaxed setting.
Shannon was a leader in the revival of old school cocktails, and he used his extensive knowledge of the classic cocktail repertoire as a foundation for creating his own concoctions – always respecting the time-tested tenets of keeping all elements of a drink in balance.
Shannon Healy, Owner of Alley Twenty Six
“Alley Twenty Six offers a great place to drink with locals. Order your beverage at the long wooden bar and take it out into the eponymous alley, narrow and brick, strung across with bare light bulbs. Libations here showcase the deep bench of distilling talent in North Carolina” - Atlanta Magazine

“Your well-trained server will happily suggest food-and-beverage pairings, whether your preferred poison is cocktail, beer or wine (a short but well-chosen list that reflects Healy’s other former role as sommelier at Crook’s). If you’re there for the cocktails that are the bar’s original claim to fame, though, you’d be well-advised to check out the Pairings menu that Healy and Schleiffer recently put their heads together to assemble. They have a few pleasant surprises in store for you.”
