Nicks isn't gourmet, nor is it a hole-in-the wall. The menu is affordable, well-balanced, and AVAILABLE LATE. I go for the Monday night trivia, but almost always have drinks and food. The bar pizza isn't gonna win any awards, but for $7? Yeah, that rules. read more

This pub took my REAL state ID and told me it was fake. The AUDACITY of this pub to take my REAL ID when my ID is REAL. Excuse me?

Other than the smoking that's allowed in the covered side part, this place has the cheapest bar food and great beer selection.

Thank you Nicks Pub for my "provel sticks". Provel which implies there's cheese inside...... but it appears the cheese was burnt out of them. read more

The food was fine. There was a mix-up, and an extra plate of food was sent to our groups table. We sent the extra food back once, but a few minutes later two servers came back with the extra food. We again told them that nobody ordered it, but one told the other to set the food on our table because "somebody will eat it". After we had finished our meal and paid our individual bills, a manager came over to the group exclaiming "nobody leaves untill somebody pays for this food". A few people tried to explain the mix up with the server, but the manager just yelled over them, and at one point stuck his hand up to the face of one of my friends and told her to stop talking. Another person from the party decided to just pay for the food (that nobody ordered, and tried to send back twice), and the manager continued to be antagonistic even after he was holding the cash. After we pointed out that his conduct was aggressive and unacceptable he acted offended when we said we'd never go back. We were a large group, and mistakes do happen, but this manager (Paul) should not be in the front of the house if he can't remain civil in the face of a trivial mix-up. read more

Had a work party here... that they seemed to be unaware of. The food was delayed because no one knew apparently. They made toasted ravioli with marinara, soft pretzels with cheese and mustard, and Saint Louis style pizza (yuck!) - sorry I'm not a Provel fan. The bartender seemed flustered that some things were not set up before people started to arrive. I'd love to see what their actual menu is so I can try that. read more

Huge beer selection, and Teddy made the best cocktails! Great late night spot for fun and excellent drinks!

Denied water during a busy hour, but charged a $5 cover. Not sure how you get away with denying water.

Nicks has outstanding deals every night of the week, and has great shot deals as well! the pink lemonade shot is a recommendation. read more

Horrible staff. I have a medical exemption with a doctor's letter stating I absolutely cannot wear a mask. I was already seated and was told if I don't have a mask in my possession I cannot stay. This is in direct violation of HIPPA and ADA compliance. We will never patronize this restaurant again. MASK WEARING IS NOT A LAW! read more

For the value, this place is excellent. Trivia night was fun. You can fill up on food and drinks for way less than most bars.

I used to praise the specials here, but hate on the service. That was until Tamara was my regular server. She always remembers our group and what we eat and drink, but more importantly is personable and always has a smile. Both she and Nick's will continue to be successful with this collaboration. read more

Heard good things about Nicks but when we went there and sat down with our 1 year old we were told by the waitress in so many words that we have 30 minutes then we have to leave. No one under 21 allowed after 9 pm. I said, why, are you all stripping naked at 9? Needless to say we got up and went to eat on The Hill. Crazy. read more

Bartender and waiter took off their masks multiple times while we were dining inside. Would avoid if you don't want COVID.

Nick's Pub is an authentic Dogtown pub! Definitely a popular meet up place for locals to watch the Cardinals, Blues, Mizzou, etc games due to the amazing happy hour specials that Nick's runs during games! They have a ginormous assortment of draught beers to choose from as well as a bountiful liquor selection. This place gets packed very quickly during sports games so definitely show up early to claim a table and good seat! They have an outdoor patio area too that features live music on certain nights. Upstairs features another bar area and some pool tables and pinball machines. I can personally vouch for the wings, burgers, and toasted raviolis that they make! They're all delicious and not expensive by any means. I haven't explored much of the menu beyond those items, but they have plenty of signature sandwiches and dishes to choose from! Definitely worth giving this place a shot if you're looking for a new place to go for some good bar food and local Dogtown atmosphere. read more

Great deals! Nicole was a great bartender. So personable and sweet. Also very knowledgeable about beer. Been here a few times and know it's a fun bar, but Nicole's beer knowledge really makes this place next level. More than just a dive and would recommend coming here. read more

I have not eaten the food at Nick's, so I can only comment on it's role as a place to have a drink (and I've had a few at Nick's!). Nick's is another great St. Louis landmark bar that has been around forever and everyone should experience. For the younger crowd, on Thursday nights they have college night and have great drink specials for a small cover. I know that the crowd is typically younger there on most nights, and it's been a few years since I've been there. However, I do know the upstairs is a great place to throw some darts if it isn't crowded, and they usually have a live band playing on the weekends. They also make one of the best Irish Car Bombs in town, if you are into that sort of thing. I always leave Nick's feeling smokey, which isn't a real good thing. Check out Nick's if you are looking for a laid back crowd and are one of those hip early 20-somethings. read more

Am I back in college? Because I think I dreamed I was at a bar with $2 you-call-its last night. No wait, I was! So the deal is, every Thursday you can drink anything you want (shots, cocktails, beer, spirits straight up) for $2. Nicks has a pretty sweet beer line-up too... a few good craft beers and all the usual STL favorites such as Schlafly and Budweiser products. The reggae band that plays here regularly is insane! Really great. Though this bar is filled with frat boy types that look like they'll be hugging a toilet really soon, don't let them put you off from enjoying the down and dirty diveness of Nick's! There's a $5 cover on Thursdays, not sure about other nights. If you're looking for some tomfoolery at a 3am bar, welcome... you've found it! read more

Oh, Nick's... It's been awhile since we've seen each other. Too bad it had to be on St. Patrick's Day :( I haven't been down to Dogtown for St. Paddy's day in quite some time and let me be the first to tell you that it made me feel, well, old! Did you know that if someone was born on/before 1989 can drink alcohol? Seriously? Ugh... Anyhoo, watching all of these young kids mill about the bar in their green getups made me want to go home to my sensible shoes and clean bathroom. Is that wrong? I must agree with Stacey T and say that I can never get enough of the guy singing in the corner... And Nick's does serve as a good starting point for the St. Patrick's Day madness. But I doubt I'll be back anytime soon just to hang out. Sorry, I'm too old! read more

Tamara didn't need her twin Tia tonight! The best service I've ever had. I'm coming back to Nicks to see this gal. She knew just what I wanted. read more

Relaxed pub atmosphere, very inexpensive menu all positives, but Adrienne was absolutely the WORST server we in 50 years on 11/17/19. I overlooked delivery of my Chardonnay in a brandy snifter, but did not overlook when Adrienne attempted to remove my glass that was half full. At dinner I told Adrienne my sandwich was missing the Swiss cheese I had specifically asked for. Adrienne said it should have Swiss cheese. As I picked up my plate and extended it to her, Adrienne said "So what's your question?" I was shocked by this abnormal service and told Adrienne I had no question of her and she walked away. We never had the opportunity to speak with Adrienne about our complaints because she didn't return to our table. She was replaced with a server named Kelly who provided excellent service for the remainder of our evening. read more

Classic college fraternity bar. Some live usually crappy band. Lots of beers on tap. Smokey, kinda low key crap, dirt hole in the wall Irish joint. Thursday nights they do have a killer special: 2 buck you call its on beer and mixed drinks. Though there are two pool tables and a shuffle board gives the place some life, but with a guy to gal ratio of like 10 to 1, with the one gal being a sorority sister, you are better off finding yourself a friend in the bottom of the empty glass. read more

Dang it! I forgot to check-in last night when I stumbled into Nick's Pub after a fantastic evening at Missouri Botanical Gardens... Three of my greatest lady friends and I ran upstairs hoping to challenge some guys to a game of pool. Alas, Wednesdays just aren't a very poppin' night at Nick's Pub. It was, however, LADIES' NIGHT! They had $1 draft Bud Light (meh, but the price is right) and $2 cherry vodka and Red Bulls. I try to refrain from the Red Bull, because I like having teeth, but I let myself have one... and the madness began. My friend Megan was hootin' and hollerin' about everything. She suddenly became the "wooo girl" (see How I Met Your Mother). It was hilarious and obnoxious but no one at the bar seemed to care. We were rockin out to the juke box and havin a blast. We had a great time and met a few fun people. See Jessie at the upstairs bar and request a Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot. Delish. Oh and never challenge me to a game of shuffle board, the more I drink, the better I am :) read more

Lauren is so fabulous, love the whole crew that works there. awesome drink and food specials. Kitchens open til midnight (best part) ;)

I ordered a chicken club sandwich and when it arrived I had to laugh. I received a piece of chicken on toast. No bacon or mayo like the menu stated. It really can't be that tough to make a chicken club sandwich which is 4 ingredients. Disappointing and not worth the money, far better places that can make your correct order. read more

We drove past Nick's and were so intrigued by its divey exterior and sign boasting 100+ beers on tap that we had to stop in. I gotta say...I was impressed. It's a teeny divey bar but they aren't joking when they say they offer 100+ brews, and they're great ones too - we were able to snag a Bruery Belgian on draft. And what's better is that they were cheap as hell at $5 a pour. The walls are lined with TV's so I could see this being a good place to catch a game as well. I'm docking a star because there is a very strong smoke odor, and I just have difficulties tolerating that for longer than about a hour. But seriously, I still dig Nick's. What kind of dive offers this many craft beers this cheap? Still scratching my head on that one. In the meantime, go check this place out at least once - it's worth it if only for the shock value. read more

To start with the place smells like a dirty ashtray! TIP: Keep you receipt! There's fraudulent activity occurring at this bar!!!! I authorized $8 on my visa and was charged $25 instead. I'm headed back for a refund and explanation of the bogus charge. read more

St. Paddy's Day might not have been the best time time to make my first visit to Nick's. You're not always quite sure what is "the usual crowd" versus "the pre-parade crowd." Walking up to the door, the outside was plastered with all the various daily drink specials, as well as a notice about how you'll get a beatdown for a fake ID and that, yes, you must have been born on or before today's date in 1989 to enjoy adult beverages. That all said, the pre-parade crowd was a spectrum of ages -- grandmothers in shamrock sweatshirts, parents with multiple kids, younger types (Bumpits optional for the ladies), and some of "those guys" sitting at the bar (little rough around the edges and probably already had four rounds by the time you walked in). And there's a guy singing. As I recall, it was all Irish tunes this time. He belted out "Beer, Beer, Beer" which is one of the few songs that I will embarrass the wife by singing along too. So I was happy. Finally, I'll speak to the beer selection. Sure, it's a place that you pretty much feel obligated to to drink PBR or Bud, but, I also saw on tap: -New Belgium Ranger IPA -Left Hand Milk Stout -and several other very nice beers. I'm impressed. And of course, they have Guinness. And with it being St. Paddy's, it came in a small plastic cup. Which is always a little sad. But even so, they gave it a good pour, and it tasted great. I'll likely be back. However, it will likely be 364 days from now. read more

Brittany H was a terrible server during my visit. Nick's seems like a good neighborhood place that's always good for cold beer and watching a game. I ordered a side salad, which was pretty watery as was the ranch dressing. However, the red, white and bleu wings more than made up for the stinky salad - these wings were great! The big downside here is that they still allow smoking. read more

Dirty, packed, loud, drunken crowd. But what else do you expect from a 3:00am bar? Pros: One of the furthest west 3:00am bars. Lots of people. Occasional live music. Cons: Be ready to be cramped into a corner, wait in line for the bathroom, and all the other luxuries of venturing out when the other places are closed. read more

"We are going to Nick's" is a phrase that is often heard around my work place every Tuesday and Friday. I thought this was just simply due to proximity. For some reason or another, I always missed these "Happy Benders" until a few weeks ago. It was a Friday and the place was already a little hopping. I was suprised at the range of ages, simply because it looked like it would be your standard Dogtown Dive Bar crowd. My suprise did not stop. $1 beers, 1/2 off appetizers. I was in heaven. Cheapness is not something to be taken lightly in this day and age, and Nick's delivered. The service was not stellar, which is why at Nick's it is customary to order two beers at a time. Fantastic. If you don't mind smoking in bars (and double fisting) I would highly recommend Nick's for happy hour. You'll thank me when you leave at 8:30 and your tab wasn't over $15. read more

Ordered delivery the double frisco melt with pepperoni and sauteed onions, mini tacos, and sweet chili boneless wings (8). Forgot the tomato on the melt and raw onions instead of sauteed. Tacos didn't come with salsa and sour cream, as the menu states. My boneless "wings" were incredibly small, one was seriously an inch big. They were over $8.00 for 8 of them. Huge disappointment. Posted a pic. read more

Um, I was usually drunk before I reached this place, so, well... I didn't care that it was a dive. That is what made it fun. The food was the perfect drunk night food - greasy, disgusting and perfect for soaking up the alcohol. Drinks were cheap if you needed to keep that buzz going and the staff was pleasantly distant. read more

From outta town, place is very friendly, smoking in one room, separate from non- smoking. ( awesome concept) Food... food is great ! Above most walk- in places. Drinks are great priced ! Definitely coming back, in fact this is our 2nd time here in two days. Bring it on down to Nicks !! read more

Contrary to other reviewers, I do NOT believe this is a classic fraternity bar. Do fraternity brothers enjoy drinking around the average Joe to the sounds of a one man irish band? Maybe. But I know they would absolutely prefer to be surround by sorority girls listening to a playlist which seems to only alternate between Lil' Wayne and Journey. There are better places for them to go. If you think you want to be entertained by a man wearing an East Saint Louis sweatshirt singing the Irish acoustic version of "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins while enduring a BAC of .20 (and I know you do), this is the place to be. It is a "must see" event if you have friends in town and want to show them that St. Louis has style. read more

Can't speak for the food as we just showed up late night for some drinks. Great bar set up, it's roomy inside AND out on the patio. The patio was totally covered which was cool so I didn't freeze to death, and they have the tap connected to the inside and outside which was aesthetically pleasing. They had a sweet little band which was awesome and kept me engaged. Drink specials were awesome and CHEAP which is always great. It's also located in a *weird* place you think it might be sketchy, but it's not, and plenty of parking which is often an issue so this was nice! The only thing was the patio allowed smoking but not e-cigs. Now, it was my fault for sitting out there when I hate smoke (we had a huge group of friends out there), but it was a fully covered patio so it held the smoke like a sauna....as a non-smoker I would much rather be in a cloud of cotton candy than cigarette smoke so not sure what they have against e-cigs, but they do. Anyway, I would probably return with some friends and sit inside where I won't leave smelling like a smoke house. Cool little spot, great vibe. read more

Updating review for the owner who was nice and professional. I understand that bars have to side on caution, but we had a group of ALL 27-32 year olds so not sure why we would have just 1 20 year-old with us. I would still caution people if they have I guess "younger looking friends" which seems silly since there isn't really much we can do on our end besides show all forms of ID. It seems this is a place where younger kids try to get into so they have to side on caution. I would suggest to the bouncer that if there is a large group of everyone the same age, then they probably are, so singling out one person as the "fake ID" holder without context is unfair. All in all, go here with caution if you are older. read more

Not sure why I keep going back here. It seemed that they were making progress in service quality whenever ownership changed, but that honeymoon phase is over. I used to enjoy the food and drinks but the past 3-4 times I've tried to spend money here, my group has sat at a table for 15-20 minutes without ever being acknowledged, at which point we decided to leave. The food is good and the drinks are cheap, but the service is the worst I've experienced in St. Louis. read more

NIck's pub is one of the best places to rub elbows with complete strangers. It's a fun mid-sized dive-ish bar that tends to be filled to the brim with the college aged crowd. If you like a nice, quiet dinner and a few drinks while enjoying the company of one other person then don't come here! This is a party bar and everybody seems to mingle with everyone else. It is a good sized bar with an awesome game room upstair that features darts, shuffleboard, pool, and some other games. It is an excellent late night drinking spot for sure. The food is ok, while not being anything spectacular. Nobody is coming here just for food though. I believe Nicks Pub is a great place to start or end the night, and you will see a lot of groups making pit stops in here by only staying for a couple of drinks. Bad qualtiies are that it's super smokey and can be very crowded. I also don't like that it feels isolated and cut off from all the fun places nearby. There's a ton of great places further east down Manchster, south on Macklind on the Hill, and further west in Dogtown. But there's virtually nothing immediately nearby here, which means you will have to drive to the next destination. Not a huge fault though, and I consider Nick's Pub a top notch party bar. read more

Oh Nick's Pub. This place will chew you up and spit you back out. One of the few places that stay open until 3am - you know you'll have a down and dirty good time. Drinks are dirt cheap, bartenders are nice and there is a live band on the weekends. It's a bar...it's not going to be clean. Deal with it and don't be a debbie downer. read more
