The Wine.
Our list changes with the seasons. A 28-bottle cruvinet means you can have a glass — or six — without committing to a bottle. Award of Excellence list from Wine Spectator.
Wine, beer & whiskey — New Hope, PA
A small bar with a serious list.
Across from the Bucks County Playhouse. Twenty-eight wines by the glass, eight beers on tap, and one of the deeper whiskey selections in Bucks County — paired with chef-driven small plates from local farms.
About Nektar
A pre-show drink. A late-night flight. A table for two on a quiet Tuesday.
Nektar is an intimate wine, beer and whiskey bar in the heart of New Hope, Pennsylvania. We’re right across from the Bucks County Playhouse — a great place to settle in for a glass before curtain or a bite after the show.
Our chef builds small plates around what's good locally, our 28-bottle cruvinet means you can taste real wine without committing to a bottle, and our whiskey list runs deep enough that we mostly say "yes" when guests ask for their favorite. If we don’t have it, ask — we probably will next time.
The Lists
Wine. Beer. Whiskey. Food.
Four short menus, all changing with the seasons. Skim the highlights below or open the full lists on the right.
The Beer.
Eight rotating taps and a deep bench of bottles, foreign and domestic. Tell your server what you usually drink and we'll find you something better.
The Whiskey.
One of the deepest whiskey selections in Bucks County. Bourbon, rye, Scotch, Japanese, Irish — and a flight program if you want to go exploring.
The Food.
Small plates meant for sharing. Sandwiches, salads, charcuterie, artisanal cheeses, and dessert. From local farms when we can get them.
