When you match your drink ✨🍹

What can we make you this Thursday? An old favorite or something new is waiting for you at Kin tonight.

Take your espresso to go this weekend!

Kin is a part of downtown Gainesville’s Sip & Stroll district, so you can grab a cocktail to-go on your way to your next destination - and then another one on your way back.

You know it’s going to be a good night when you get the window seat. 🥂

Join us tonight for our special pop up event with Adrian Ortiz!

Come to Kin from 7pm-midnight as we say goodbye to long-time Gainesville bartender Adrian Ortiz before his move to Orlando. Check our story for a preview of his menu and we’ll see you tonight!

Even the rain can’t get us down when it’s the weekend.

✨💐🍊🍈summer bar details 🍋🍒🌱✨

Kin was built to be a space that honors and pays homage to the favorites of our town, so it’s a privilege to join the ranks and be recognized as one of them this year.

Thank you to all who have helped us grow over the past nine months. We’re endlessly grateful for the talent and creativity of our team and the support and presence of our community.

Rebirth of Osiris.

The Egyptian god of fertility, agriculture, and the cycle of life is the first to make an appearance on our summer menu. With honeydew gin, genepy, acid-adjusted salted honeydew juice, and green peppercorn aloe honey, this signature cocktail is a crisp and refreshing way to revitalize your spirit.

Inspired by gods, goddesses and deities, we introduce our new menu: Summer of the Gods.

A vibrant mix of flavors to reflect the power of the season, there will surely be one or more that draws your allegiance. Come try the full lineup through the rest of summer.

Saturdays are for signature cocktails and time with your people.

Date nights were made for Kin. Bring your person for a night out this weekend.

This Tuesday, come try our limited-time AAPI menu, featuring flavors inspired by the cultures our people know and love.

Celebrate miracles today with a sangria special and our all day happy hour.

May your home be filled with laughter, may your pockets be filled with gold, and may you have all the happiness your (Floridian) heart can hold. Sláinte!

It’s a great night to wear green. Don your gold eyeliner, knot your emerald tie, and spend the evening at Kin for an elegant night out.

This could be your view. Grab a bite downtown - perhaps, we’re big fans of the gnocchi - and we’ll see you afterwards.

It’s World Bartender Day, which is a great day for us because these folks are our world.

If you’ve come to Kin, you’ve experienced their skill, their dedication, and their joy in their chosen craft. The next time you stop by, we hope you notice their individual flair and the unique style they each bring to the table.

Or rather, to the bar.

To our incredible staff - those pictured and those not - we appreciate you more than words can say, today and every day.

Couldn’t make a midweek date night? Our Valentine’s Day specials are still available through the weekend and we’re open until midnight. See you soon.

There is a thread that connects us.

It winds between the couples at our bar tonight, around the friends in our booths, through our talented staff, ending with each of you as we build a home here at Kin.

The love we’ve felt from our community over the past few months of being open is the most extraordinary feeling, so this Valentine’s Day it’s you to whom we raise our glass. To the Kin we know and love and all those yet to come, Happy Valentine’s Day

Looking for the best spot downtown to watch the big game tonight? Head over to our friends at Brennan’s to root for your favorite team!

Not sure exactly which “big game” everyone is talking about? There are no TVs at Kin, but we have happy hour all day and we’re open as long as the big game is on. Probably. We’re not sure when it ends.

The love you give yourself is as valuable as that which you receive from others.

Our second seasonal Valentine’s drink is The Empress. This nonalcoholic beverage features black cherry juice, sage, almond, cold brew, and rich chocolate.

Let yourself be carried away by the love of those around you.

Our first seasonal Valentine’s drink is The Chariot. With rose-infused London dry gin, genepy, strawberry honey syrup, and lemon juice, this cocktail is served in a coupe glass with rose dust.
