Nick's was opened in 1927 by Greek Immigrant Nick Hrisomalos. After Prohibition, the tavern acquired a liquor license in 1933. It was sold to Dick Barnes in 1957 and remains family-owned.

Nick's was visited by U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama on April 11th, 2008, surprising patrons and locals gathering outside.

Recommendations

For bigger appetites, try the Italian Beef sandwich. The au jus is well seasoned and the sandwich is big enough to share.
