the snapshot

heritage 1880s building. one of the strongest cocktail programs in the city.

the nash sits in a restored 1880s brick building on 9 ave se in inglewood. it pairs a sit-down restaurant with the off cut bar next door — same kitchen, looser room, late-close energy. the cocktail list rotates seasonally and earns its reputation. charcuterie that lives up to the price.

research pending

we're still building out our full editorial pass on the nash — when to go, what to order, what to skip. this page will fill in over the next few weeks. for now: book it for a strong main, especially if your night needs heritage and a real cocktail program.

how to use it

main course of the night. or the late close at off cut bar.

the nash works two ways. as a main: dinner with a strong cocktail program, the kind of room that holds a 90-minute conversation. as a close: skip the dining room, walk into off cut bar after 9, get one cocktail and a charcuterie board, then wander the inglewood blocks. both work — the engine sequences them differently.

when

weeknights for the room. weekends if you're booked weeks out.

friday and saturday fill — book early or accept a 9pm sitting. tuesday and wednesday are the move if you want the bar staff to actually have time to talk you through the seasonal list. off cut bar walk-ins after 10pm work most nights.
