Duke Coffeehouse

Crowell Hall
106 Epworth Lane
East Campus, Duke University
Durham, NC 27708


The Duke Coffeehouse (aka chaus) is a student-run music venue and study space. They’re open every night from 6pm-2am, with free coffee, tea, and snacks. On certain nights, the Coffeehouse books local and touring musicians, DJs, and sound artists, mostly of the experimental & independent variety. They also host the occasional film screening, poetry reading, and dance party. Come out for sick music (bangers, shredders, and spirals).

The Duke Coffeehouse is tucked away in the back of the Crowell building on East Campus, above the Women’s Center. We’re open to all students, faculty and community members. After 5pm, parking is free just outside the Coffeehouse.
