Nico's was a place I heard I should visit, but I was always a little scared to go inside. The outside is typical dive bar with block windows and no way to actually see inside. Once you're inside though, it is a different story. There is a huge bar area (filled with yinzers talking about the Steelers), and past that there is a decently sized sit down area with booths and tables. Nothing fancy here, but good and attentive wait staff, and nice cheap beer, sports tv, and quick yummy food. There was a large group of us, and we ordered the Greek Platter, and it was just right. Everything from fresh feta and olives to spanakopita and grape leaves. Nico's is on Friendship Ave and very close to the hospital (hence the 'recovery room'). I look forward to checking out the Saturday Karaoke to see what Pittsburgh local vocals will produce.
