Nestled in between the corners of Atlas and Euclid Streets, Nagle’s shares a split space with Fuego Coffee. The two businesses are separated by a wall but that doesn’t mean you can’t grab a coffee and a cocktail all in the same visit. The location is open now from 5pm-midnight Tuesday through Sunday. Nagle’s serves  a variety of spirits and classic cocktails. Try a Dark and Stormy or a Blackberry Bramble next time you are at Midtown Eats or checking out an event at Parcel 5.
