Nunu

I have to say that I was very impressed for our first visit here. They were doing everything just about right, and this will definitely be a regular stop for us when we're in the neighborhood. One thing in particular stood out for us: The door guy! We where there on a busy Saturday night, and he was without a doubt the best door guy we've ever encountered at a bar. He really made the experience. First of all, he functions more like a host. He was very friendly, gave us options of seating etc. and accurate wait times, including giving us a heads up that the bartenders just got crushed with orders so it might be a couple of extra minutes. All of it was very much appreciated. Once inside the vibe was very cool, and the rest of the staff were also very much on top of it and super friendly. They all gave the place a great and fun vibe. We planned on just stopping in for a quick one, but ended up hanging out for a couple of drinks, mainly because of the bartenders. The drinks we had were really good, and the bartenders really knew what they were doing. We ordered a kind of deeper cut classic that wasn't on the menu, and they had no problem with it. They have a small but well curated and unique spirits selection. All in all, great job from start to finish, and we'll be back very soon.

Short wait for smaller group. Excellent bouncer/door person who made the wait a delight. Once you’re inside service is unbelievable. 4 instead of 5 stars JUST because of my personal preference of classic cocktails being alcohol forward instead of flavor forward. Their cocktails are fantastic: the only reason it’s 4 instead of 5 is my preference. I will gladly recommend this place to anyone! Come here. It’s worth the wait!

I *loved* this place. We were waiting for our table at Cheu next door and decided to slide in for a quick drink but, upon looking back, I wish we'd spent more time at Next of Kin! The bar is stylistically just up my alley, with a woody, classic elegance, but quite a contemporary style. I loved the clean lines and small elements of intention dispersed throughout. The bartender was SO warm and patient - answering questions, making recommendations, and then absolutely knocking it out of the park when it came to the drinks he prepared. We ordered the Clover Club and the Jungle Bird, both were smooth in texture and though they were strong, neither was extremely spirit forward. It was easy and tasty sipping at Next of Kin. I'll certainly be back!

Excellent new cocktail bar! No food, but you can order from Cheu because they share an alley (I t’s where NuNu used to be). The owners John and Kyle are industry veterans and have been planning to open this spot for years. They finally did it and it’s awesome! Come check it out.

Randomly walked into this place. Loving the vibe and drinks at this place. The bees knees, is indeed, the bees knees. Dirtyyyy martini. Dirty af. Those are the only drinks I had so I can’t speak to the others, but give this place a try. Lighting on point. Service on point. Music on point. Craft cocktails. I’m into it.
