Nighthawks Lounge Cocktail Bar • $$
175 Tracy Street Ste A101, Athens - 7.4 miles

“Absolutely magical spot! The cocktails are well crafted and balanced just right, including the traditional ones, such as Sazerac, Brumble, or Gin Martini . Bartenders are personable and friendly, and the atmosphere is top notch. Certainly gives out the vibes and feels of Edward Hopper’s “NightHawks” painting.
And best of all, drinks are not overpriced for their quality and taste.

Top notch spot for a date or a treat!“

“I wish I had a pic of the mussels but we dug in before I had a chance. Perfectly cooked in a delicious sauce with just enough kick. My husband declared the duck the “best I’ve ever had”. My mushroom pasta was al dente with a cream sauce that was rich but not too heavy. Our son’s tagliatelle was delicious. Ending the meal with homemade tiramisu cutely adorned with the name of the restaurant. Pics do not do it justice because they have a romantic dimly lit vibe. Highly recommend reservations. When I called to adjust mine due to flight delay they were kindly accommodating. Nice outdoor patio and bar.“

“It gives vibes of a bar in Italy. Great setup and atmosphere. We were so excited to try hugo spritz here because we love the flavor. However, It tasted mainly like prosecco. They have great variety and curated wine list. I was disappointed with the flavors and portion size (i get that its tapas) based on the prices they charge. They gave our food to the wrong table but acknowledged their mistake and got us the order quickly! Great customer service!“
