Darlin’, Missy Lane’s is more than a venue—it’s a crown jewel of Durham. Dressed in eight shimmering chandeliers with two baby grand pianos, we serve up soul, sound, and Southern elegance every night we open our doors. This is where music lovers gather, stories are shared, and every detail is done with care.

You’ve seen us on Good Morning America, read about us in The Washington Post, Garden & Gun, and NPR. Even our zero-proof cocktails got a little shine—Southern Living (June/July 2025) named our mocktail one of the best in the South.

Our curators have been shaking things up for over a decade—producing Art of Cool Festival (2014–2018), curating Golden Belt Stage, Boxyard Stage, and hosting that iconic Made in Durham: Little Brother Block Party in 2023. Most recently, we helped bring Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens’ Biscuits and Banjos Festival to life.

We’re proud to be named Durham Magazine's Best Small Music Venue in Durham (2024 & 2025) and Best Emerging Small Business by the Greater Black Durham Chamber.

Built from Black brilliance and welcoming to all—Missy Lane’s is where you come to celebrate culture, community, and a damn good time. Come see what the fuss is about. Aunty’s got a seat waiting for you.
