    I love this bar!!! Nig's actually named for Nigel! I stopped in after Ripley's, with my daughter and my mom. Awesome bartenders! I got some amber beer then others.. one daughter hated the sticky floor! I'm glad I visited!!!

    We had to stop at this neighborhood bar for the name alone. It has a great neighborhood feel and you are always welcomed. Special for Sunday Bloody Mary with a beer chaser. So delicious and fun. They have darts pool table pinball machines and lottery scratch offs. So glad we popped in

    Stopped by this bar for a drink and to see if they had the Dodger game and YES THEY DID! We stayed for the drinks, watched the game, met nice people and had AMAZING SERVICE from the bartenders. Thank you for a wonderful night and for the great drinks.

    Just a sign with a name, not a racist establishment.

    I read ALL the other reviews!! I read what everyone else had said. So here is my take and you know I don't Bullshit!! 1. This place DOES smell like piss!! Thank God my wife never got her smell back after getting Covid! 2. I didn't get a racist vibe at all!! Nig does not have to be short for another word! Grow up people and quit making everything your fucking political platform!! 3. The drinks are cheap and they are big and they are good...PERIOD! This place gets 3 stars because I love dive bars and I love good, cheap drinks!! But I HATE the SMELL of PISS!! Originally a 3* review...it went down a star after I went to the restroom!!! I thought the bar smelled like PISS?? The bathroom made me gag!! I need to leave and flush my nasal cavity! All I can smell is PISS!!

    Total dive bar in the dells

    This place is all about the weird name and people wanting the weird "I had a swig at Nig's" T-shirts. Like much of Wisconsin Dells, its geared for the tourist crowd and you will see lots of suburbanites popping in, seeing that it is a dive bar, wonder what all the hype is, then walk out. We stopped in on the busy 4th of July Weekend with a family group of 12, had 1 drink and left. My sister wanted one of the many shirts (they probably make more from those than from selling alcohol), but they only and 2X and XS so she left disappointed. Not my kind of place but to each his own. If you are wanting a drink at a cheap, dirty, dive, like those you fondly recall from your youth, or just want a politically incorrect T-shirt, then this is your place.

    Drinks are fine and cheap. You can imagine what "Nigs" stands for because that is what it's full of.

    Dj was good, kept people dancing and played fun music. Prices were good, bartender was quick but the bouncer/bar back was unbelievably rude.

    We were staying in the area before graduation at UW-Madison and needed some late night eats on a…read moreFriday around 9pm. A group of six of us walked in, sat ourself, and I asked a bartender if the kitchen was open. There were two guys behind the bar. They looked at each other and gave a nod. The younger guy said yes, but we are out of the fish fry. No problem for us. We were served by the younger guy and he was friendly, attentive, and didn't treat us as second class as most of our group took water while I had a couple beers. It was pretty quiet when we arrived. We tried a couple apps, and a few different burgers and fried shrimp. Having read about the steak burger, we had high expectations but it fell a bit flat. Others mentioned a sauce, but there wasn't any in ours. The burger with bacon and jalapeño was a banger though! Onion rings and fries were excellent. The curds were good, but I've had better. When it came time to close the check, our server met me as I jumped off my stool. I don't know his name, but gave him a 25% tip. Wish he worked at my place! For the Dells, the price is very reasonable in my opinion. As we were leaving things were lighting up, and getting loud. I got the impression the kitchen was closing even though they say they are open late as the older guy was grumbling about only having two people working. As an owner of a cocktail bar I get that things happen, but I don't like my employees getting upset about it. The younger guy kept his cool - even if he was hoping for more. I do plan to go back for another service and ask about the sauce on the steak burger. Felt weird to talk about it before getting it the way I assume they serve it. Our son is staying for grad school so we have an excuse to try again!

    I had plans to go elsewhere but my son was lured in by the name, and I was like fine we can try it…read more Overall we had pretty bland food and the place was dead at the time, despite this our waitress gave us no attention and even got my order wrong....we were he only table (there was one other family eating there -- lunch time -- and they had a different waitress. Very much unimpressed. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of one star, is the soup of the day (a cauliflower soup) was absolutely delicious...but the main meal was bland to put it mildly. There are too many other options. I'm not much of a drinker but I'm also sure the drinks would be good as they looked appetizing, yet with better options in town, I still wouldn't recommend.

We opted to sit at the bar to eat sooner; it's made of beautiful sculpted wood facing a cute tiled wall. Our waitstaff was so nice and helpful despite being extremely busy with constant orders. I had a mushroom, spinach, and cheese omelette with wheat toast and the signature breakfast salad with warm bacon and onion dressing. The salad is DELICIOUS and I highly recommend it. The omelet was decent-I prefer my ingredients inside the omelet and this restaurant serves the ingredients on top, so it's a preference thing. Anyway, if you are hanging around the downtown Dells, definitely check out this cafe, but be patient because a lot of other folks are, too!

I love Biscuits & Gravy but the addition of ham and veggies really topped it off! It's a large portion so make sure you're hungry! Also tried the yogurt bowl, simple and classic with fresh strawberries the granola is really nut heavy if you have any nut allergies I wouldn't try the granola. My boyfriend had the 2 egg breakfast that he scarfed down he was so hungry and it was so good! I tried the Vanilla Dirty Chai which really is just like a chai coffee. It was good but I think I'll stick with my classic chai! The restaurant itself is super cute! There was a long wait but it was Sunday morning. They have a large selection of coffees and pastries while you wait and will alert you on your cell phone once your table is ready.
