Nightcap, a new dessert lounge, is now open in downtown Birmingham with photos available.
Nightcap, the newest addition to downtown Birmingham, is the brainchild of Bernie Smith and Todd Childs, the renowned minds behind Bamboo on 2nd. This new dessert lounge offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere where patrons can indulge in a variety of delectable treats and fashionable cocktails.
When Aviné, the French-inspired wine bar and retail shop, closed its doors last fall, the space sparked a new vision for Smith and Childs. Instead of leaving the location empty, they saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the downtown scene with a dedicated dessert lounge. As Todd Childs shared, the idea quickly evolved into the opening of Nightcap, a charming spot for late-night cravings.
Nightcap’s location at 2225 2nd Ave N in downtown Birmingham makes it easily accessible for those seeking a post-dinner sweet treat. With opening hours from 5 PM to midnight on Wednesday through Saturday and 3 PM to 10 PM on Sunday, Nightcap is poised to become a popular destination for those looking to end their evening on a sweet note.
Upon entering Nightcap, guests are greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The menu at Nightcap boasts a variety of tempting options, from fortified wines like sherries and Madeiras to delectable desserts and late-night cocktails. The establishment has teamed up with local dessert-making partners to offer a diverse selection of sweet treats, including Ivory LeShore’s Gourmet Bread Pudding & Cheesecake, Greek Kouzina, Suzie’s Southern Fried Pies, and more.
During a visit to Nightcap, guests can savor the delightful flavors of dishes like Handel’s Honey Cake, an eight-layered Ukrainian honey cake, or Ivory LeShore’s Alabama Goat Cheese Cheesecake, a decadent cheesecake topped with white chocolate mousse. For those with a savory palate, Nightcap also offers appetizing options like grilled cheese with tomato soup, a basket of French fries, and various other snacks—a perfect choice for the post-work crowd in need of some satisfying eats.
Nightcap’s carefully crafted menu and cozy atmosphere make it an ideal spot for anyone looking to satisfy their late-night cravings in downtown Birmingham. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, Nightcap has something to delight every palate.
