Nick's is an awesome place for wings, beer, and the breakfast cheesesteak. I took my date there for dinner and drinks and it was a great place with very good service.

Went on a late Monday afternoon (around 3pm) so it was quiet. There’s a small dining area in back behind the bar. There were great (cheap) lunch specials. We had burgers, wings, and curly fries. Everything was delicious and they were the best fries I’ve had in a long time. Adam our server was awesome!

Taylor Derleth

Local bar with reasonably priced drinks, TVs for sports and good atmosphere. Great place to grab a drink with friends.

Diane Dagostino

David App

Delicious food very reasonably priced! Amazing staff and great atmosphere! Best Burgers in Philly.

Sean Hayes

Always ask about the daily specials! Over the last year I've tried the entire menu, and was never disappointed. Front half of the building is the bar, back half is table service. Relaxed atmosphere, check them out some time!

Jennifer Jchan

The restaurant was clean. We were greeted and taken to a seated area. We ordered the cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks which I recommend. Service was friendly and helpful. They were quick and food was brought out quickly. I recommend here. Being from Philly, it was worth it.

JD Whittle

Nick's was great. Good food, cheap beer and really good music. Highly recommended and not full of tourists like myself!

Beth B

Great place to just hangout, good food, friendly service. Roast beef sandwich and chicken tacos were yummy!

Nicole Lee

We had a great time at Nick's. We enjoyed our food and server/bartender Joe was very friendly. The French onion soup was yummy and the chicken fingers were huge. We will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

Jamie Lynn Wolcott

Had one drink would not get served again because bartender said I get paid in tips and I don’t work for free.. we each had one beer and gave $1 tip for each less than 5 dollar beer… most bIzzare place I’ve ever been to in my entire life. First time ever posting a negative review in my entire life. If I could give 0 stars I would. Bartenders were drunk.

Austin Ward

Great service and fun conversations

We had the open-faced hot roast beef platter. It was truly amazing and our bartender made the most delicious rum punch.

Richard Ross

Good smoked wings

adam burger

Great bar food. Always a treat to visit

Paul Heiler

Just awful. The atmosphere is kinda dark and strange. The food is not that great. Their fried pickles are literally like an inch thick. Who does that?

edgardo serrano

Very good place to enjoy and have a beer, I really liked

Alex Darby

Great prices, staff, and excellent bar food. The best smoked Wings I've had in Philly to date!

Thomas Bean

We loved this place! Food was great and people at the bar were laid back and friendly! If I lived in Philly, this would probably be my "usual place". I would recommend this place to anyone!

Megan Peters

Always a great time! Extremely accommodating to a school group class trip!

C J

anthony chavez

Great place to eat, drink and have some fun. Friendly staff.

Jerry L

Outstanding service, great prices and fast delicious food earn this place 5 stats! The roast beef sandwich was fantastic! Egg rolls were great as well. Had a good beer selection and ample seating. Will definitely return to this place again! Even let me and my bud order two different things and split it for us on separate plates so we could try them both. Lots of great food selections to choose from!

William Russell

I almost always have the roast beef sandwich and it's always delicious.

David MacFarlane

Food and service was good. Had to put up with racist old geysers at the end of the bar who couldn't keep the racist rants to themselves.

SUNNMANN139

Great crowd, food, drinks in Old Town Philly.

Joseph Yusem

It's a great not pretentious bar with the best food in Old City.

Danny

My girlfriend and I walked in on 08/22/19 at 12:25am. We wanted to order food and the bartender older male told us to order right away which we did and then once we told him what we wanted he told us the cook what cook that since they are shutting down the kitchen soon. He was a bit rude and condescending to me. I was nothing but professional and respectful. I hope he is able to be more professional to customers. He should’ve told us from the start what was available on the menu. It just doesn’t make sense how only certain things on the menu is available. I won’t be coming back here and i advise others to either. He was short and rude to us for no reason.

Distinctive BB

The bartender was nice & my drink my delicious. My food came out in a good time frame. The salad was ok

Robert Taggart

Get the Applewood you won't regret it and if you need to decide on which roast beef sandwich to get go for the french.

Khira Smith-Ross

Nicks smoked wings were great. We went for a corporate luncheon with a large group and we were accomodated easily.Atmosphere was OK. Fries were great.

Aaron Brunner

great sandwiches and cheap beer. Basically what i live for

Kenneth Mack

This place is absolutely amazing the pulled pork sandwich had me feel like I was in heaven and everyone was super friendly. Next time I come back to Philadelphia I'm coming back.

Frank Slattery

I had the pulled pork and it was great

JoAnne Hesselbacher

What can I say about Nick's..the best roast beef I've ever had,can't wait to go back

Justin Christian

Great smokes wings. Get them!

Lauren Rodgers

I've been there twice, and I'll be back. The food is great, service is awesome, gotta juke box at your fingertips.

SuperUltra Mike

OMG This place is amazing, I️ got the classic burger and it was greasy, cheesy, and full of flavor with a soft brioche bun. The service was attentive and friendly. The place has been newly renovated so everything is CLEAN. It’s also very different from the google photos of this place.

Natalie Whilden

Best Bartenders ever!

Alexander J. Smith

Solid applewood bacon burger and curly fries. Polished-rustic atmosphere and cool old photos. Good service.

Jim Pappas

I got the Breakfast cheesesteak. This could be my new olde city cheesesteak. Definitely my olde city Cheesesteak when I want a beer. $5 for a can of Ruby Red. Yes, still drinking fruity sour beers. My daughter Karly liked the historic philly decor until she saw Cuba Libre. $10, the crumbled bacon gave it a lot of flavor and the eggs added eggs. Looking forward to going back and getting the 'special steak.' The price for location was delightful.

Steven Masturzo

Great burgers and steak sandwiches

John Xander

Love Nicks! Go there every New Years eve!

Carmen Sanchez

Karaoke Saturdays are so much fun. You can meet people from as far as England, Canada a Nova Scotia. Citywide special is my honey's favorite. His is Pabts with a shot of Jim Beam. Best Cheese burgers. But my favorite is the 3 pigs. Shredded BBQ pork and 2 other sausages (forgot) Too busy eating it. Roast Beef sandwiches are equally delicious and juicy.

dino macera

my mom and I love this place the food is awesome with good, friendly service and good drinks too!

Matt R

Fantastic food. Awesome staff and great beer. We tried Campos but unfortunately they will NOT accept card and they were very unpleasant about it. I would recommend this to EVERYONE! Keep up the great service.

Christopher Utkus

I first came to Nick's in the mid 80s. Still a great Philly bar with awesome roast beef, au ju, and horseradish!

LC Collins

Nice place to hangout and get some drinks. I like that they have karaoke night which is a fun way to spice up the night even more. Everyone was enjoying themselves and the whole bar was singing tunes from many genres.

Arun Maithani

Good place to go for late night beer and snacks.

Jo H

Excellent food & service!!

Jose Partida

A nice and roomy bar! The bartender was nice, and the beers are pretty cheap too.

Eric Steiner

The French Beef was excellent. Definitely going back for more!

Matthew Keller

If you want a roast beef sandwich this is the place to go. Make sure you stop by jems next door on your way out and get their chicken salad and a bag of doritos to eat with it.

David Rhoads

Great French Onion Soup. Staff could have been more attentive

Brendan Pillsbury

I love this bar! Amazing food, great atmosphere, and great specials. It's not some "fancy" bar pretending it's something it's not and serving $20 cocktails.

Annie RAPIJ

Horrible Place horrible food they changed owners they need to change the staff

Caryn Laubach

In town for the weekend, looking for a late lunch, this place had decent reviews...the food was good and the waitress was super attentive.

Michael Eriksen

Great food amazing atmosphere.

Pablo Ramos

I visited Nicks from LA and I gotta say by far the most friendliest place in old city. Thanks to Tim for making me feel welcome. And also Joe the owner for the awesome shot! I will be back to Nick’s next time I’m in Philly!

Nick Strembicki

Quiet bar for a Friday night. Superb pulled pork sandwich.

Bill Jennings

Great food & good people

Paul Galloway

We went here every evening we were in Philly. Always got a seat at the bar, excellent service, decent beer selection and good food.

David Harper

Outstanding smoked wings, they don't need sauce, but they provide some if you want. Good happy hour prices, and a decent drink list

Linda Ramirez

Our first time in Philly and we came across Nick's pub! It was perfect, affordable drinks and delicious food! We went for lunch, dinner, and I even did Karaoke

Cherylene Worthey

Do not go if your a person of color the male bartender and most if the patron are very rude and racist I am appalled out of my years enjoying the night life in old city I have never experience anything like that I will never return there.

Brianna Hill

Amazing food!! Will be back!
