NightSwim Kingston — Restaurant in City of Kingston

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! It's cozy and comfortable with a beautiful little waterfall that makes you feel you're in a little oasis instead of right off Broadway in Kingston.

I've met both the owners and if you're 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 you'll 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...

What started out as a really nice evening quickly turned in the other direction when one of the owners arrived and sat down at the bar within ear shot of me. I was enjoying a cocktail and eating some food (which in my opinion was overpriced, subpar, heat and eat food) and also enjoying some excellent conversation with the bar tender and other patrons, but I could not believe that the owner would sit down at the bar, have one of her employees wait on her and have a loud conversation about her financial struggles of being a business owner in front of her employees that are struggling to survive and should be getting paid more. I listened to them and felt for them, why don’t the owners? I guess I should’ve figured as much from owners who decorate their business with pictures of their own faces. If you do decide to go here (which of course anyone is free to do), tip well so your money goes to the people who actually deserve it and need it and aren’t earning it from...

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...
