The Pit Durham Event Venue

The Pit is a celebration of all of the great culinary offerings of the Old North State.  Authentic North Carolina barbecue is our signature dish. Whole hog, pit cooked over charcoal and wood. You’ll get a fine dose of Southern hospitality when you walk through the doors of our beautifully restored warehouse-now-restaurant.  Since 2007 (and cooking hogs for decades before that), we’ve made a name for The Pit as the go-to place for what many say is some of the best our state has to offer. Our barbecue starts with the freshest hogs, raised  by local North Carolina farmers using animal welfare approved farming practices. Our dedicated pitmasters then cook the pigs  around the clock to bring you the best barbecue you’ll find in these parts.
