estaurants are generally meant to be destinations, a place to go, sit and stay awhile. The Waiting Room, a new cocktail lounge at
American Tobacco Campus, flips that concept. Waiting rooms aren’t typically places that one lingers – they are stops in between, where you kill some time before your ultimate destination. The staff at The Waiting Room won’t be offended if you just pop in for a quick drink and then make your way to dinner – in fact, they’d encourage it. The idea behind The Waiting Room was born out of its owners’ experiences with Durham’s fast-growing restaurant scene.
