Nick & Nora

If you’re looking for a bar that hits that perfect sweet spot between "sophisticated cocktail lounge" and "neighborhood hangout," Nick and Nora is it! I swung by recently with some family members, and we were genuinely impressed by how they’ve managed to nail everything! The lighting and decor make it feel instantly welcoming. It’s very stylish, with retro pics on the wall themed to the ‘Nick and Nora’ characters from the Thin Man Series (1930’s and 40’s). I never watched that show, but coming here got me intrigued! Their drink selection was spot-on. From inventive house signatures, to the classics (my wife raved about their espresso martinis), while I dabbled in their beer selection and a couple of old fashioned cocktails. Their drink quality was high-end, but their prices were surprisingly reasonable.The bartenders were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I met Mike, the owner, who was very pleasant and accommodating. Usually, finding a great bar means a nightmare for your car, but not here. The location at the top of the hill is convenient, and unlike most spots in the area, parking availability was actually a breeze. (There’s free parking directly to the right of the bar). I know it’s a weird thing to put in a review, but the bathrooms were spotless. It says a lot about how a place is run when they pay attention to those small details. The bottom line is…Nick and Nora had great drinks, great people, and zero stress. I’ll definitely be back!

Excellent bar to relax and drink great cocktails, beers and good selection of wine. Go for happy hour before 7pm I think. Great atmosphere friendly staff, and very comfortable seating.

Very disappointed. First visit and the service is the worst I've ever experienced. They messed up our reservation to begin with for our birthday celebration. The bartender was having a birthday as well and seemed to be the focus, and didn't care about anyone other then regulars. We waited over an hour for a drink while other just walked up and ordered because they knew the bartender. Horrible service and will never return. The vibe was nice, however, when you ignore your clients why would they return? Good luck and hopefully your regulars will keep you in business.

Amazing staff! Great ambience, take a friend or two with you to have a good time. The bartender was congenial, attentive, quick, and we'll versed in the drink selections. Amazing experience!

They’ve done a great job refurbishing the space, and it’s gorgeous inside and out. As the bar's name implies, the theme is Dashiell Hammett’s “The Thin Man”. They also have a great cocktail menu. My wife had I had a Paloma Caliente, spicy, and I had Asta’s Anomaly. They were both delicious, and we could have stayed for a second round. I’ve added Nick & Nora to my list of favorite bars.

Really love what they've done to the place. Great happy hour. Nice cocktails. Guys please don't mess up the new bathrooms!

I can’t rate the food because all I had was a dirty martini but the vibes were right in this joint! I’d come back for sure and try the food. Can get a tad rowdy but it just depends on the crowd. Overall I recommend this place and I’ll be back myself!

When I came to the bar, they were not busy and it was Saturday night about 9pm. It took a while to get served and my drink espresso martini was not made well. The bartenders barely made eye contact with me and certainly did not make me feel welcomed. I do not usually go to bars but had been visiting a few to reserve the place for a party. The place was very nice but the service was really bad.
