About this place Club ERA

Club ERA bills itself as Durham's queer underground, a basement nightclub tucked beneath The Fruit in the downtown warehouse district. It runs an event-driven calendar of drag shows, dance parties and community nights, including a recurring Queereoke and monthly Pride-themed blowouts. As one of the few dedicated LGBTQ+ nightclubs in the Research Triangle, it pulls a young, mixed crowd of locals along with Duke and NCCU students. Expect late hours, DJs and a come-as-you-are door. Because programming is event-based rather than a nightly open bar, it is worth checking the club's calendar before heading out.
