The Bar Beej

  • Inspired by and crafted strictly from our Indian kitchen, The Bar Beej is a Bollywood-themed speakeasy from Cheeni Durham that serves Desi-inspired craft cocktails, women-driven wines, and a limited selection of local & import beers. All cocktails are $15.

    The Bar Beej is walk-in only.

  • These cocktails are staples at the Bar Beej and do not rotate seasonally.

The Bar at Cheeni: RTP

  • Inspired by a collection of simple and elegant classics, The Bar at Cheeni: RTP is a part of our dining room, not a standalone concept. We do not have bar seating. Our PDR features a dedicated bar service counter, and our cocktails rarely rotate.

    Yes, you can come to Cheeni: RTP for drinks only!

    We’ll seat you at a smaller, cozier table, or offer you a spot outside. A menu of a la carte offerings, coming soon, will be ultimately be available as well, featuring shareables and small plates.

  • These cocktails are brand-new! Please look forward to updates as our bar program grows.
