Ribbon Cutting Celebration: CRU RDU

Join the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate the official ribbon cutting of CRU RDU, one of the Triangle’s newest and most vibrant nightlife and social destinations!

Originally established in Atlanta, CRU has built a reputation for delivering an elevated lounge experience that blends culture, music, and high-energy ambiance. Now bringing that same dynamic vibe to Durham, CRU RDU offers premium hookah, curated cocktails, and a menu designed for both laid-back evenings and lively nights out.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: 5:00pm to 5:30pm 
Venue Opens for Business: 7:00pm 

Come out to meet the team, tour the space, and help us officially welcome CRU RDU to the Durham business community. This is a great opportunity to network, celebrate, and experience firsthand what makes CRU a standout addition to our local scene.
