Neon Nights: How to Capture the Perfect Instagram Shot

Neon Nights: How to Capture the Perfect Instagram Shot

Because every corner of Neon Moon was made to be photographed

If you didn’t post it, did it even happen? At Neon Moon, we designed our space with the night in mind—low light, moody shadows, sultry neon, and all the vibes you need to turn a casual hangout into your most-liked post yet.

Here’s how to capture that perfect shot while soaking in the scene:

1. Follow the Glow

Our signature neon signs aren't just décor—they're built-in backdrops. Stand a few feet away to let the color wrap around you, and angle your phone slightly up for that cinematic feel. Bonus points if you catch the reflection in a cocktail glass.

2. Golden Hour’s Cool Cousin: The Blue Hour

Just after sunset but before it’s fully dark, the sky turns deep blue—pair it with the warm indoor light spilling from our windows, and you’ve got magic. Snap a patio shot or a silhouette for that moody, just-stepped-into-a-movie look.

3. Flat Lay Like a Pro

Our cocktails are gorgeous—don't let them go undocumented. Snap overhead shots of your drinks on the bar, especially if there’s a vintage matchbook, candlelight, or some good company in the frame. Keep the background simple and let the colors shine.

4. Details, Darling

Zoom in on the good stuff. A lipstick-smudged glass. Condensation on a rocks glass. A fork digging into something indulgent. These little moments feel intimate—and they're social gold.

5. Low Light? No Problem.

Nighttime photography doesn’t need flash. Try Portrait Mode, lean into shadows, and embrace the grain. It adds to the vintage, late-night aesthetic we’re known for.

6. Tag, Geotag, Repeat

Don’t forget to tag @NeonMoonOS and use #NeonNightsOS—we love to repost your shots and show off our favorite looks from the week.

Neon Moon isn’t just a bar. It’s a mood board waiting to happen. So come dressed to impress, sip something bold, and let your camera capture the kind of night you’ll want to relive again and again.
