Nitro Beverage Lounge

The drinks here are fantastic. Each cocktail is crafted with thoughtfulness. I had a great conversation with the mixologists. Their passion about to create a unique cocktail and how the ingredients complement each other is a true craft. They even use some innovative techniques. They even shared a new cocktail they were working on, which was such a cool experience.The vibe of the space is chic and feels a little focused towards instagram worthy pics- may not be the most comfortable/functional when it comes to seating. My favorite spot is at the bar, where you have the opportunity to see the craft in action. The other seating options are fine but don't have the same energy.If you're into mixology and looking for a stylish spot to enjoy a drink, this is definitely the place to put in your radar.

3.7 average? Come on! 5/5 all the way!This place is a VIBE. The bartender was so knowledgeable and sweet.It's clean, mid range prices, super trendy inside.The drinks were excellent! If I'm ever back in Madison I'll BE THERE!

Such fabulous drinks! Great space to hangout on a girls night or go for a date. Look forward to coming back for coffee.

I usually am not one for flashy cocktail bars but Nitro is wonderful. Staff are so kind and outgoing. We stopped in for apéritif and had a wonderful time on a Saturday night. Highly recommend the Brunch Punch (for brunch or not brunch). I usually DO NOT like cinnamon but something about this drink is so subtle and creamy. Also, I greatly appreciate the array of non alcoholic drinks. AMAZING. Exactly what I was looking for. So glad I stopped in and can't wait to come back for the atmosphere. I absolutely loved the vibe. Music was just the right volume and great options for cocktails. Awesome place.

Stopped in on a Saturday night and how this place is still in business is a mystery to me. $17 cocktails (poorly made). $9 beer. All in a space that tries hard to be "Instagrammable" but has lighting reminiscent of a dim sum house in Chicago's Chinatown. Hard pass for me.

Modern and chic Nitro is aesthetically appealing and provides a welcoming environment. Their seating has one big chic vibe but depending on where you sit you could create a situation of your choice. The mixologist created amazing drinks for all to enjoy. The beverages have flavor aesthetic appeal and it's a show to watch the preparation.I highly recommend checking out Nitro any night they're open.

Great service and great cocktails! Peyton took very good care of us! The A LITTLE BIT SHADY, EH? was such a refreshing drink!

I got a night cap here and it was perfect! Great vibe, knowledgeable staff, and a really good drink. It is on the pricer side and off the beaten path, but I would come back for another drink before dinner or to end the night again!

I love a cocktail and this is a cute cocktail bar. I ordered the New Old Fashioned and It was really good. Nitro is fairly new and some things need to be changed such as the cocktail menu needed to be more extensive and the seating could be better-there were alot of people standing because there were no available seating. The bartenders were really nice and friendly and they made sure that we were taken care of. I asked the bartender if they have music playing and I was told they did but it was difficult to here. Aesthetically Nitro is beautiful but to stay open more seating is needed however I will be back again!

I saw Nitro had just opened the week prior so I decided to check it out with some friends. Myself and two other friends decided to meet up to study at Nitro on a Sunday afternoon. Approaching Nitro I found two doors and was unsure which to enter. I took a 50/50 shot and guessed correctly. However, others weren't so lucky as I watched several people guess wrong and had to sheepishly walk over to the other door to open (ps: it's not the door on W Wash). Once inside Nitro the ambiance and decor blew me away. I thought I was severely underdressed in my sweats for a place with chandelier lamps and velvet chairs. Although it had a high class atmosphere, the vibe was laid back for a Sunday at noon. There were people studying with laptops, people reading, a family with a baby, and friends catching up scattered across the room. There were plenty of seats around and I appreciated the plush velvet chairs (including the bar chairs!). Some people had boozy brunch drinks while others had kombucha or a coffee. Although Nitro does not serve food, they did have several delicious looking pastries for sale. The staff were kind and were doing their thing behind the bar. My beef: The biggest problem I had with Nitro was that it did not have any outlets other than at the bar. Don't get me wrong, the bar chairs were the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in, but it was odd that there weren't any outlets where the large tables are. There were several other laptops in the crowd who I assume left after their battery died. My only other critique is that the drinks were pretty pricy compared to other cafes in the area. However, taking everything into consideration, the atmosphere in Nitro justifies a pricer beverage. Overall, Nitro is a very classy and posh place to grab coffee or drinks without the pressure of acting or dressing so. Probably one of the nicer cafes in Madison where you can comfortably be for hours on end. Not too loud and full of good vibes. I wouldn't recommend a long study session unless you are comfortable sitting at the bar for an outlet. Otherwise, there are plenty of people who are at Nitro with laptops and books. My first impression wow'd me & I will definitely be returning at night to see what the evening atmosphere is like.
