| - Dejected from a sold out Pecha Kucha and hoping I could get back in during the intermission, I decided to wait by making my first visit here. The place only had 2 yelp reviews from years ago and I wondered if it changed. Curiosity got the best of me this time: nothing besides possibly a paint job or a minor remodeling.
It's a typical sports bar. Numerous neon beer signs lined the tops of the walls. I was the only customer there on Friday night, 8pm. Bartender was ok.
The set-up is a long and narrow bar with a few tables on the side. There's 8 taps, mostly domestics with a great lakes and shock top. 4-5 HDTVs hang above the bar, situated for sitting at the bar. There appeared to be a very small kitchen in the back [I didn't see the menu].
4.75 for a bottle of Leinenkugel [an expected price for a downtown sports bar]; had a decent selection of bottled beer, probably 15-20 total, including a few microbrews.
For better or worse, Nick's doesn't stand out from to the rest of the downtown sports bars: caddy shack [across the street from Nick's], Harry Buffalo, Panini's, cleat's, winking lizard, city tap, the Clevelander, all within a 4 block radius of there.
