NightSwim Kingston - Kingston (NY)

5 /5 Gino Gino: Great place and people. If you love the Birds it is a must when the Philadelphia Eagles are playing.

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.

5 /5 Zac Shaw: First off… this fried chicken sandwich is in the conversation for best in the county. Wings were also fantastic. Great drink selection including cheaper beers for folks on a budget. Locals that loved the Anchor will know there’s a cool atmosphere already… Night Swim amped it up. Very cool to see regular live music here again. The patio is a huge bonus and the place to hang in nice weather without being right off the street. Friendly staff, feels like a true neighborhood bar now. Not too fancy, not too dive-y. Just what Kingston needed.

5 /5 Alex Coe: Me and my band Lolux performed here not too long ago. We were met with an amazing daytime bartender who told us where to go to set up. While waiting we took time to play some games in their lounge area and was surprised to find extremely cool couches, an array of board games and plenty of time to cool down after a long journey. After the show I got to have fun with friends at the bar and outside tables, enjoyed the incredibly solid wings (Cajun and Parm/garlic) and the Paper Airplane cocktail with a side of some Local Keegans Ales Mother’s Milk. Had an awesome time. Quinn and Caitlin were amazing Nighttime bartenders. Banging Night!

1 /5 Regina Castiglione: So many regrets about choosing night swim for date night. The bartender was terrible. I want to call him ignorant and not malicious but for a bartender to put the drinks of two women in-front of another man at the bar and then turn around leaving a stranger with our drinks is inexcusable. Was he expecting us to come get them? I don’t know. Did I? Yes, because I wasn’t going to leave my drink near a stranger. Then the drinks were terrible anyway. The burger was fine, minus the paper that was in it. No way in hell was this meal worth $72. My wife asked the bartender for “bartender’s choice cocktail” requesting it be colorful, sweet, and vodka based. The image attached is what she received. It was bitter and a mess. 10/10 would not recommend.
