Reviews for Nickel City in Austin, TX
Cool spot. I went when it was like Moe's from The Simpsons. Super crowded, but the bartenders are very good; you won't have to... wait too long. They make good drinks too. Everyone I met was nice, which is always good in a small space. Read more
Small neighborhood dive bar with surprisingly fun and yummy cocktails. The tiki cocktails are always a hit, but the fruity... pebbles was a stand out. It does get pretty packed in the evening. Read more
Nickel City is an awesome little neighborhood dive bar. They've got really fair prices on drafts 4.50 to 5.50. there's a really... great food truck with sliders and other fare, including 99 cent wings on Mondays. The people in here are friendly. You canstrike up a conversation pretty easily. Great place. Read more
Fun out of the box kind of night on the East side of Austin. You can tell they spent the time & effort into naming & whipping up... concoctions of food & drinks to reflect the long running legendary T.V. show, The Simpsons! If you love the show and want tofeel like your drinking it up inside Moe's Tavern, grab your real life drinking buddy Barney Humble, bc this is definitely theplace to go. & If you get a little hungry for bar food they have a food truck right outside the gated patio area to try out whatThe Simpsons cast would probably be eating. Overall, it was definitely a fun experience! Would go again. Parking wasn't the bestso be prepared to walk a little. Read more
Awesome bar with great cocktails and whiskey selections. The bartenders (Joey and Dan) are great guys who'll answer any... questions you may have. I enjoyed the Irish coffee (frozen and liquid) as well the blue Hawaiian! If you like whiskey, Istrongly recommend the single barrel picks, they're about ~$6/1oz, or stop by Wednesdays for 25% off 2oz pours! Read more
Great dive bar with exquisite cocktails and extensive liquor selection. They have some excellent bourbon choices for this... unassuming joint. Tiki Cocktails were great, and the food options feature delicious classics like hot dogs, sliders, and onionrings, to name a few. Read more
Nickel city was in the list of best cocktails places on google so went in there to give it a shot. I tried the alabama slammer... from the well known section on the menu and it was really well made. Flavorful and gave me a slight buzz as I was expecting Read more
The atmosphere was great, they had beautiful Christmas decorations all over the place. Me and my friend were excited to get a... drink, even though it was crowded. After waiting for 10 minutes for a bartender to acknowledge us, we asked him why he wasskipping us when he made drinks for people who came after us. He said he had a system of taking drink orders that didn't makeany sense because we were standing right in front of him. Ended up leaving as two other bartenders had a long line of customers.Never coming back. Read more
