The Nightingale Cocktail Philosophy
At Nightingale Cocktail we believe that a great cocktail is more than just a beverage, it's an experience that starts with your first sip and extends all the way to the last delicious drop of an expertly crafted cocktail. We believe that every drink should be fresh, delicious, and properly prepared with exactly the ingredients necessary to create a perfect drinking experience—and nothing more. We believe that fresh ingredients, high quality spirits, and expert technique are the key to outstanding cocktails.
Endless concoctions of obscure ingredients and pretentious bartending has no place at Nightingale Cocktail—we serve only great drinks at fair prices. Each time you order a drink, you can be confident that it will exceed your expectations. If not, just let us know and it's on the house!
Our seasonal cocktails embrace seasonal ingredients and flavors. Enjoy them for a limited time while they last!
