The Lewis: What is your favorite signature cocktail to make?

Nick: That is a very tough question to answer. I am proud of every cocktail that has made it onto the menu at Porchlight. I would have to say that my favorite cocktail is the one that our guest likes the most.

The Lewis: Why do you think locals and guests of the neighborhood should make Porchlight their hang out spot?

Nick: It’s the most fun they’ll have in a while. The drinks are damn good, too.

The Lewis: What is your favorite part of the work evening?

Nick: There is a groove that you get into behind the bar when the bar is full, everyone has a drink, the music is jamming, and the rest of the bar team is pumping out cocktails and high fives. I love those evenings.

The Lewis: The bar layout is pretty unique with floor to ceiling windows and many cozy nooks. What is your favorite thing about the space? 

Nick: My favorite thing is that there is a spot for everyone in Porchlight. The windows are great for someone that likes to watch the world pass by while they are having a drink. Then, there is the bar made from old and sturdy wood to help you feel secure when you need it. There is also a private room if you and your friends want to get away from it all. Like you said, we have a unique space, one that is perfect for so many different personalities.

The Lewis: Porchlight is famous for its southern hospitality. What is the most southern food and cocktail combination one should get?

Nick: A Po’ Boy, a Whiskey and Cola, and a high five from the bartender.
