A well-known downtown Augusta location is getting a fresh start with two new hospitality concepts set to open under one roof.
The space formerly occupied by Riverfront Barbeque & Grille will soon welcome The Kennebec Room, a full-service restaurant on the main level, and The Nightcap Lounge, a cocktail bar that will occupy the upstairs space previously known as The Gin Mill.
The Kennebec Room aims to serve a menu of elevated comfort food, pairing familiar favorites with fresh ingredients and modern flavors. Guests can also enjoy a selection of local craft beers on tap in a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.
Upstairs, The Nightcap Lounge is designed to offer a completely different experience. The intimate cocktail bar will feature handcrafted drinks in a cozy, upscale setting, making it an ideal spot to unwind after dinner or meet friends for an evening out.
Together, the two venues are expected to add a new dining and nightlife option to Augusta’s downtown district, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy a meal downstairs before heading upstairs for cocktails—or simply stop in to experience either destination on its own.
An opening date has not yet been announced, but anticipation is already building for the newest additions to Augusta’s restaurant scene.
