About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Nightcap was originally conceived as a place for sweet sustenance and sparkling cocktails. Since then, we have evolved into so much more. Our space is now known as a late night, date night spot for guests and friends alike. The cozy atmosphere is welcoming, romantic and is also a great place to dine solo. It’s a space to make new friends, enjoy some incredibly tasteful food and cocktails that aim to please. Nightcap carries an old school Austin vibe that is hard to be classified as a bar or restaurant. We like to consider ourselves as a nightly dinner party at your friends house. The idea is to come over, have a great time and let us clean up afterwards. On special occasions, glitter is our favorite color that is often paired with bubbles. We hope you join us for any occasion and truly enjoy your evening.

    Wife and I ate here on a Friday night date. The service was great and the vibe and atmosphere was electric. The food was decent. We had the burrata appetizer and that was fantastic. There was a mixture of sweet and salty flavors which mixed extremely well. We also had the market fish which on this day was wahoo fish. I felt like it was a bit on the dryer side and not as “melty” as I like me fishes to be. I guess most wahoo fish is like this because I have had wahoo elsewhere before and it had the same texture. The pasta/vegetable side that it came with was also decent. Overall the meal tasted good. It felt healthy even though that wasn’t what I was going for. But if you’re into wahoo then I’d recommend it. My wife had the potato gnocchi and she didn’t like it as much but I had her remainders and I loved it. To each their own. Server was amazing and very friendly. The other appetizers on the menu looked great and the drinks look great so we may be back with some friends in the future to take advantage of those things!

    We stopped in late night on Valentine’s for small bites and drinks after having attended a comedic play at the Dougherty. First time experience and truly an “experience”. It’s almost like we walked into the “second act” of the play; high energy, great people watching and people engagement. Christin, Drew, Sabine, Jake and everyone there were a blast. Food and drinks were spot on. Great environment.

    Brussels were really good, but the burger and pasta was literally the worst meal I have had in a long time! The vibe was weird and a total waste of money. Do not recommend

    Management was so disrespectful. They could not have been more rude. They acted as if they were not prepared for our large group even though we had reservations over two weeks in advance. Servers were doing their best and were being kind.
