About this restaurant

Great for fine wines
Charming
Great for scenic views

Nektar is a wine, beer, and whiskey bar located in the heart of New Hope Pennsylvania. This intimate bar across from the Bucks County Playhouse provides a great place to enjoy a bite to eat before or after the show. In the winter, you’ll find Nektar to be a warm place to settle in with a whiskey to warm your insides, or a glass of wine to appreciate with selections from our charcuterie. Ask one of our servers to help you select the perfect wine, beer or whiskey to accompany any of the delicious items on our food menu.

Meant for sharing, our chef creates wonderful small plates from products sourced from local farms and suppliers. Small plates, sandwiches, salads, charcuterie meats, artisanal cheeses and desserts provide something for just about any time of day.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Nektar is a charming restaurant celebrated for its "great wine bar and food" nestled among trees, offering a "lovely dinner outing." Patrons rave about the "fantastic service" and "delightful evening" experiences. The wine selection is "impressive," and the small plates "are very tasty," with standout options like meatball sandwiches and mushroom flatbread pizza.

Booked a table for 16 people for my niece‘s 21st birthday. While the waiter was very nice, it was obvious that they were understaffed for the occasion. There were several other small tables around us and they all received their drinks before us, even though we placed our order first. It took one full hour to get our drinks (that is not a typo!), and the food came out very quickly afterwards. The two smallest kids at the table, who are obviously the most hungry and don’t have the ability to wait very long, received their dishes last. Because everything took so long, and it was getting later and later, they actually lost out on money because our table (big drinkers) would have had many more rounds of drinks. Food was okay overall… but nothing knocked our socks off. May be okay for 2 to 4 people, but would never recommend this place for a large party .

We had an absolutely wonderful celebration of Mother’s Day at Nektar right after we attended the Bucks County Playhouse Theater. The waitress was very accommodating since we had 2 littles with us. Food was excellent. So many choices and the wine was divine. We will be again. Thank you

Beautiful place that feels like a treehouse. Wines are lovely and flights are fun! Food is delish, but small portions! Recommend the meatball sandwiches and mushroom/flatbread pizza. Brussels sprouts are way too salty, but yummy too.

Parking in New Hope is impossible, especially on Friday & Sat. night. It took me 15 minutes to find a spot. I dropped my partner at the restaurant (on time) but they ended up giving our table (and the next two choices) to other patrons, so we ended up at a less than great table. There was no acknowledgement, apology or mention of this by the maitre d.

My friend was visiting from Florida and we had a delightful evening at Nektar. The service was fantastic and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio.
