5 /5 Steven Ives: A fantastic bar with a bright and upbeat atmosphere and a feel-good vibe the moment you walk through the door. All of the bartenders are engaging and friendly despite the challenges of a diverse group of customers who offer a wide variety of needs and wants. The cook is constantly changing and updating the menu in order to satisfy the wants and needs of the clientele, but regardless of what is offered the food is always good, especially for the low prices.
I love the backyard! Its cozy and comfortable with a beautiful little waterfall that makes you feel youre in a little oasis instead of right off Broadway in Kingston.
Ive met both the owners and if youre a socially conscious person interested in supporting a business owned by a pair of self-made, hardworking women who are striving to succeed in a cultural climate throwing infinite obstacles in the way of prospective woman-entrepreneurs, you should support Nightswim. Their kindness and caring for their employers filters down through the entire establishment. When one of their bartenders recently was injured in a bicycle accident, an owner departed her Vermont vacation early to haul down to Kingston and bring a care package of food and get-well-wishes to the bartender and his family.
This is the type of family-feel and positivity youll find at this bar.
The good vibes and goodwill at Nightswim are rare, but the versatile nature of the bar makes it a bar for absolutely everyone.
