Nightcap is a lot of things. First, and foremost, a place for those who know an excellent cocktail. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and technique expressed is unmatched. Whether you're looking for that bourbon that finishes long, the daiquiri that brings you back to the islands, or Fernet to bring your breath back in check... it's there for you. The staff are knowledgeable and warm-- be nice and they may show you some extra love!
