Perfect place for a drink after dinner! We had the coffee cocktail and it was a great pick me up! Great low lit indoor seating and an open outdoor area with cornhole boards.

Super fun place and good stop for a quick drink with friends!

What a darling little place! Went late Friday afternoon for HH & a snack. Great service, great food, great drinks & complimentary valet.

Seriously, what more do you need? Get off your phone & go to Nightcap!

We had an incredible evening at Nightcap with their all night Tuesday happy hour (half off snacks, $7 signature cocktails, and $6 select wine). The signature cocktails were on point (we tried all but 2 of them) but we’d say our favorites were the Apple Bottom Jeans and The Full Monty.

After a few cocktails we fired off, we ordered a couple appetizers including the Hamachi Crudo (our favorite), Yukon Potato ‘Risotto’ and the Waygu Beef Tartare. All were extremely flavorful and succulent.

Next were the entrees: Grilled Hanger Steak and Seared Sea Scallops. Both were melt in your mouth perfection, but if I had to choose, I’d go with the Scallops.

We ended the night on a high note with two desserts including a twist on a childhood favorite, Ants On A Log, made with peanut butter panna cotta, celery sorbet, raisin jam and real dehydrated ants and the Strawberry Shortcake made with olive oil cake, black pepper, sour strawberry, and yogurt espuma. Both exquisite but we favorited the ants on a log due to its uniqueness.

If you’re looking for a casual happy hour or an intimate meal, this place has you covered. We can’t believe we have never seen/heard of this place but what a “hidden-in-plain-site” gem!

Nightcap was SO accommodating when my fiancé and I hosted our engagement dinner here. Christin went out of her way to make us feel special and our guests could not have had a better time. The Full Monty cocktail was 10/10 as well as the service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great people.

Nightcap knows aesthetics. From the moment you walk through the door, the beautifully curated space feels more like your next-door neighbors trendy bungalow. Inviting is an understatement. Anywhere you post up, whether its outside with the yard games and cabana furniture, or inside among the bright windows and original hardwood floors, you’re going to be comfortable and welcomed.

As quaint and charming as the house is, it comes at a price that reflects it’s hip location on West 6th St. Most of the cocktail and desserts are pretty pricey ($9-$16) and it only goes up from there if you decide to venture to the entree side of the menu. Happy hour is a frugal chasers paradise, where the cost instantly becomes 1/3rd cheaper. A great option if you’re all about ambience and daylight, but the menu doesn’t include dessert. There’s no cheapening the delectable, sugary treats that the trained chefs produce.

And delectable they are. We treated (literally) ourselves to the Lemon Donuts with Ricotta. At $16 for 6 donuts holes, they were definitely a splurge, but damn good. A once try, as I’m not sure I could justify the price again.

Although spending an evening at Nightcap comes with a hefty cost, it’s worth it for it’s laid back, yet trendy atmosphere and delicious food. A great addition to the dessert desert that is West 6th.

Five stars for the fact there’s are two favorite things I like in life (well there are many but for the sake of this review I’ll just mention two) – desserts and French press coffee. Ironically I had to throw out my French press coffee because I was lazy trying to clean the darn thing. Me and my wonderful friends Joe C. and Shannon B. went out after my birthday bash to this place.

I ordered the Cookie Du Jour which was a snickerdoodle cookie which a tiny cup of sesame milk, Joe C. ordered the Coffee & Donut and Shannon B ordered the olive oil cake. Then of course we ordered the French Press coffee which was huge. The waitress told us to let it steep and she will press the grounds down to the bottom. I think between all three of us, we had two French Press coffee. I guess the waitress was surprised at how much we needed the half and half.

Nightcap is a great concept which has a small menu for bites but is predominantly known for desserts and cocktails. It’s in a Bungalow house with a small parking lot where you enter from Pressler. It’s cool when they hand you a check its in a type of library book with one of those due date cards where you can sign.
