About Us
Restaurant, Bar and Patio adjoining the Motorco Showroom
We have a cozy, heated indoor space for the brief Carolina “winters”, but we’re most known for our big patio along Rigsbee Ave with its large communal tables. We’re a casual, social place and we try to make everything easy and relaxed – so we don’t offer reservations. Our menu offers variety, vegan and value with a tapas style so you can mix and match items or customize any of our specialties. Add seared tuna to your Udon or kimchi to your masala poutine. We always serve the full menu whenever we’re open and if you want Parts&Labor at home, you can use Toast to order takeout or even delivery.


The band singing on this clip @thebandwillis is playing next door at Motorco tonight 🎶 We’ve got a few tickets left at the door if you want to come out…. ALSO, we have Irish Whiskey, regular Guinness & alcohol free Guinness if you feel like drinking Irish today ☘️ Open ‘til 12am #partsnlabor #stpatricksday #durhamnc

☕️ NITRO COLD BREW DRINKS - We’ve been having fun making nitro coffee drinks at lunch! Come by anytime we’re open and have an iced cold brew with the optional choice of caramel, chocolate, or Irish cream syrup, organic almond milk, and whipped cream! ☕️ Want the pErK and a SPiKE? Try with spiced rum or a shot of Fernet! #partsnlabor #coffeedrinks #durhamnc
We can host your event, gathering or party
When the weather is nice, our outdoor seating tends to fill up fast, first around opening time and then again during dinner hours. We love hosting parties and group meet-ups! If you’re interested in setting up a regular weekly, monthly or even just one-time event at P&L, click the button below and fill in the form or just shoot us an email and we’ll make it happen.
We also have catering options and we can rent out space: Bay5 at P&L for smallish groups or the Motorco Showroom for large parties/weddings/events, subject to availability.
