Nightingale Rooftop Restaurant & Bar

Perched atop The Block on Main in downtown Holly Springs, Nightingale Rooftop Restaurant & Bar elevates evenings with a maximalist lounge, sweeping patio views, and attentive full-service hospitality. Guests reach the third-floor hideaway to find lush greenery, statement lighting, and a breezy rooftop patio that set the tone for date nights, group gatherings, and celebratory toasts.

Executive chef Christy Griffith’s Southern-inspired menu leans into shareable small plates, from crowd-favorite smoked chicken risotto and ostrich sliders to crab cakes paired with remoulade and rotating vegetarian bites such as whipped feta or green goddess-topped croquettes. The bar program is equally ambitious, pouring a seasonally changing lineup of craft cocktails including the rum-driven Queen’s Park Swizzle, clarified-citrus Aperol Spritz, and zero-proof sippers for a balanced night out.

Sunday brunch brings the same creative spirit with daytime dishes and cocktails from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., while Breakeven Bottle Wednesdays showcase rare spirits by-the-pour for curious palates. For milestone events, reserve The Emerald Room for intimate dinners, host rooftop mixers on The Patio, or inquire about full buyouts so every celebration can bask in Nightingale’s skyline energy.
