Best mojito! Beautiful venue. Classy, clean and welcoming. Our server (didn’t get his name) a true gem! Wish we could have stayed for another drink! Lilly is so lovely and very knowledgeable. A must visit. Don’t miss this spot

About as good of a cocktail bar as I've ever been to. Great atmosphere with a beautiful space, particularly with the booths by the bar. We tried a couple cocktails, and they were all fantastic. Particularly loved the Corn N Oil and their Neopolitain Milk Punch. Deserves to be on all the lists.

literally my go-to cocktail bar in the area. the staff is always super friendly and welcoming among having fabulous drinks. the extra dirty martini and french martini are my drinks of choice at Next of Kin, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Lovely for a date night, girls night, or just because! Highly, highly recommend!

I was introduced to Next Of Kin months ago and decided to swing by again to honestly see if the vibe was going to be the same during the day vs how it was the night I went. For starters the first night I went there I was amazed at the chemistry between the bartenders and bar backs, then I was intrigued by the selection of spirits, and later on fascinated by a drink called the “Tonique” which ended up becoming my favorite drink at any bar I’ve ever been to. Granted, everyone likes their drinks different and I personally love Mezcal and any Tequila. That specific drink was Coconut Mezcal paired with Amaro, Bitters, and Absinthe. I ended up getting it again when I swung back around and also tried the “Smoke & Barrel” which was a Rye Mezcal, Amaro, and Cherry. Safe to say, both were Phenomenal. It makes sense why this bar won best Cocktail bar of Philly this year!

My partner really liked this place. The 9th street drink really showed the craftsmanship of the drinks. We tried the Poloma and did not like it. The bartender quickly replaced it. The vibe is cool. Highly recommend for a date night, especially in the cozy booths.
