7 reviews for Nick's Pub
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.
NICKS PUB...what more can I say?
Your dealing with a dive that offers great food topped with drink specials. Can you ask for more?
Visit Nicks on a Thursday night prepared to be impressed. The special begins at 10pm, $5 cover, $1 domestics and wells. The kicker: $2 you call-its, YES MY FRIENDS, Patron for $2! Goose? That will be $2...you cant deny Nicks Pub of this night, the best drink special in town! (Lots of women on Thursdays, duh)
During the week it can be low-key, which makes nice to bring a couple friends to play darts/shuffleboard/pool/Silverstike.
Nicks used to be my old stomping grounds, and I will forever love it. Heads up to the older folks, it can tend to draw a younger crowd but tends to be very diverse.

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.

Killer specials
Setanta sports
Like 20 beers on tap.
Plenty of parking.
Close to other places in the South City area, so you basically don't have much to lose

Nick's Pub on Manchester is one of my favorite dive bars in the St. Louis area. Located sort of on the edge of Dogtown. Nick's Pub offers a wonderful experience in "diveness."
"Diveness," what is that? Well it is a bar that can be classified as a dive bar, has all the characteristics of a dive bar, but yet people do not associate it as dirty hole in the wall. Yes, I would say that Nick's Pub is a dive bar, but to me the place is not like any of the other dive bars that I have been to. Perhaps it is due to the popularity of the place. It is always crowded like some of the bars down on the Landing and in Soulard.
Inside Nick's Pub is a wide array of people. You locals who stop by for a drink, enjoying their neighborhood bar, then you have pub scene people, the people who will only drink at a bar because it is a "pub" because they do not want to seem as though they go with what is popular, and then you have the people who just enjoy going to fun and enjoyable bars to have a couple of drinks with friends.
Nick's Pub is a nice place to go for drinks and some fun with friends.
2 story pub, darts, pool, live music patio, low-key college bar, a place for hanging out.
It's hard to find a down-to-earth place in STL these days, but Nick's Pub hits the spot! When you are thirsty for a glass of draft and tired of getting all decked out, Nick's is the place to go. The crowd is friendly and full of conversation. There is always Irish music in the background. And you will always find a friendly face to talk to. For a town full of bars and pubs, Nick's clearly stands out for its one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
