Nectar Cocktail Bar

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love this whole complex. You can't go wrong with Nectar or Crooked Run. All the food is great.

Nectar Cocktail Bar... Where do I begin.

This is going to be a 2-Way review (stay tuned for the Crooked Run review!), so bear with the lengthyness of this one.

To keep it straight:

-Service is always a 10/10. If you know what you want, you're getting it. Period, the end. Do your own research and look at the menus, my friends. If you have a specific request, bartenders at Nectar are ALWAYS more than welcome to accommodate the highest standard possible.

-Atmosphere - This here is the big one. I'm a frequent flier of the Friday night Karaoke sessions hosted by On Point Entertainment (@onpointentertainmentva for my Instagram-savvy ones!), and let me tell you, it is ALWAYS a hit. This is the kind of Friday night that you can always count on to start your weekend off on the most REFRESHING foot! It's welcoming, it's warm, and the CROWD always leaves you yearning for more from our local vocal enthusiasts! Steve and Lucy are some of the GREATEST hosts of these Friday night sessions, and it's an absolute blessing to have them to constantly fuel my lively social endeavors.

Nectar Cocktail Bar is perfect if you're looking for something refreshing, something new, something reliable, something welcome, and ALWAYS something to give you reason to make your way back into this perfect little strip of eats, drinks, and memories.

Awesome experience, all walks of life welcomed, I did not want to leave but I had lol can't wait to go back.

We had our company Christmas party here. Great food options, friendly staff and we had a wonderful time. Great drinks and kid friendly too.

Hosted a corporate event here and Nikole was amazing. There were a few issues during the event that were speedily remedied. The place has a good ambiance and there's a great trivia host on Thursdays at 7 pm ?

Not a great place for singles.

The small bar faces the wall so you have to take a walk to mingle with people. The bartenders are understaffed so you can't really chat w them. The events after 7pm are usually good but you have to stand or take up a table

The pizza is CRAZY expensive. The only menus are these tiny pamphlets hidden behind the bar which makes it look like a Fat impulse buy. 30 dollars for a pie inside a bar no af thank you lol

Outside the building theres a huge seating area which is great if you have friends in Nova.

The cocktails are interesting. The one i had was avg - over 15$ not worth the cost. Crooked Run is connected, some good trys for beer lovers

I will say the taco joint in Crooked Run is pretty great compared to likes of Taco Zocalo in one Loudon. Good prices, hot sauce options, and GREAT chicken tacos!

Nikole was amazing! We hosted an event this past weekend and she was a huge help every step of the way. From the start, Nikole was flexible when it came to selecting a time and date, promptly answered the thousands of questions I had for her along the way, helped us promote our event and made sure everything was in order/set up on the day of. We had a wonderful time and the venue was perfect for our needs. I can not say enough great things Nikole and her staff! Go check them out!

I wish more places would have a beer garden (like the legit ones in German). This place had a very chill vibe, good food, and good beer selection

We had such a fun time here for the Friday night karaoke! The crowd was fun but also the bartenders were super friendly and helpful! They even made some great mocktails. There's also amazing Mexican food next door and of course top quality beer from Crooked

Tried and failed to order multiple cocktails as they were out of multiple common ingredients(when half your menu uses prosecco how do you let that run out?), before finally getting a lavender lemon martini that tasted like a glass of lemon juice with a splash of Tito's.

Drove quite a ways here for an event. Unfriendly staff said they would not serve us at the bar because they were too busy and told us to get in a nonexistent line. The food closes at 8pm which is not okay for a place that sells alcohol. Really bad experience here and would not recommend.

The bartenders here are so sweet and helpful. The drinks are strong and the prices are good. Local musicians are always bringing it here to this awesome stage. Will be back again and again.
