Evergreen: a botanical lounge and event space rooted in Durham’s ever blooming creative energy. Part garden retreat, part gathering place, framed with greenery inside and out - the space comes to life with natural color, and changes with the Carolina seasons.

Our flavors and flowers draw from the African and Asian diasporas, honoring our founders’ roots while nodding to the wild history of gardens and greenhouses. Think slow, languid afternoons that turn into electric nights under the leaves and lights.

While open to the public most days, Evergreen flexes for anything from sunlit ceremonies to private dinners, intimate birthday celebrations to micro-weddings. Whatever the mood - laid-back or all-out - we’ve got the backdrop.

Drinks? Seasonal, refined, and made with local legends like Conniption and Liberty & Plenty. Expect grower champagnes, small-batch wines, and craft brews, plus cocktails punched up with herbs and edible blooms. Perhaps a Malaysian Mule with lemongrass and ginger, a Hibiscus Old Fashioned, or something you’ve never tried before. Zero-proof lovers get just as much love as floral teas, specialty coffees, and garden grown mocktails round out the offerings.

Bring your own take-out delights from neighboring favorites for picnics on the rooftop, bring in your caterer for a big night, or tap into our own day-to-day lineup: charcuterie, fruit plates, pastries, baked goods, ice creams - whatever’s popping up that week - plus hand-tied bundles of herbs and blooms, fresh from the garden.

Evergreen is for toasting, for plotting and planning, for laughing too loud, for staying awhile: for the quiet magic of time well spent.

Come grow with us.
