Nighthawk

This place is so adorable. The cocktails are some of the best in Redwood City. The staff is extremely kind and very friendly and accommodating Highly recommend this place for a nice cocktail

The pros: solid drinks, good selection of alcohol, they know how to make craft cocktails.The cons: limited seating, gets really busy and service can be slow. I like to come here for a drink while waiting for a restaurant reservation or for more of a happy hour drink. I find that once it's later and it gets pretty busy, the quality of the drinks go down and it's really hard to find anywhere to sit. The interior is cute though, and I love their neon signs. Pretty comparable to Blacksmith across the street, although Blacksmith is a smidge better in my opinion. Combine them and make Blackhawk? Iconic. ;)

3.5 STARSDates:Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 - 6:45pmSaturday, April 15th, 2023 - around 12:45am*Native Sons ($14)*Ginger Beer ($3)I've been here twice. Once before dinner and another time after dinner. The order above was from my 2022 visit. It was a chill Thurs night and not too busy. So we sat at the bar and I enjoyed a cocktail. The later visit in 2023 was late and a Fri, so packed. We had to make our way to the bar and talk over the noise to order. Your typically bar with loud music, maybe some people randomly dancing, etc. I'm old, so I preferred the more chill vibe.Fun spot to grab a cocktail. I just wish it wasn't so chaotic on a Fri night. Definitely would only come back on a slower weekday evening. Yes, gma, right here!REVIEW #3610

Solid place to visit if you're in Downtown RWC. Place was busy on a Friday evening. Located in a great area with lots of other restaurants near. Pretty dark inside and somewhat limited seating inside but they had some tables outside.Bartender made me a solid Negroni - no complaints! Definitely recommend visiting Nighthawk before or after dinner. Parking around is limited so be prepared to walk a few blocks or so.

Perfect pit stop! Waiting for a table at Mazra Mediterranean next door? Nighthawk's got you covered! We sipped on exceptional cocktails while we waited.Must-trys:1.⁠ ⁠Rusted Rim 15: El Silencio mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, lime, tamarind and Hella bitters - absolute perfection!2.⁠ ⁠Climate Best Government Test: Jalapeño ice adds a thrilling kick.Friendly service, modern vibe. Ideal spot to kill time or meet friends. Highly recommended!

Excellent bartenders, great drinks, and the DJ played a variety of music. Fun for the whole family!

A good place to get drinks and hangout with frnds. They don't serve any finger foods just drinks.

I have been frequenting Nighthawk since it opened. The ambiance is inviting, with dim lighting and a sleek, modern design that sets the perfect mood for a night out.What truly stands out at Nighthawk are the bartenders. Whether you're a cocktail aficionado or just looking for a great drink this is the place. I love the whole staff, but Kennedy is my favorite. She knows my tastes and can make suggestions when I want to go outside my comfort zone. She knows her gins and Amaros and makes great selections when asked. Plus, she does a mean lemon drop. Don't get me wrong, I also love all the guys there too. If you're in Redwood City and looking for a spot with excellent drinks and a team that truly elevates the experience, Nighthawk should be at the top of your list in RWC. It can get a little busy and loud on weekends when they have DJs.

Tagline: Cute, but should not be considered a craft cocktail bar and tendencies to be packed with "bros". The bartender was kind enough on a Tuesday (and there were still tech bros grouped together) but after one glance of the one sided limited basic cocktail menu I just ordered a French 75. He didn't seem pleased but ‍My friend got the Rusted Rim which was pretty good. The decor was amazing - super cozy!All in all, just know what you're getting into and you'll have a great experience.

Nighthawk is one of my favorite places in RWC to grab a drink. Its always pretty busy but I lucked out for a seat at the bar with a friend. It's right in downtown so it's around a few other bars and restaurants. The bartenders here are amazing and on top of it. Super professional and friendly. I forgot the name of the cocktail I ordered but it was a margarita based drink it looked just as good as it tasted! Will definitely be back if I'm in town.
