The place was packed (in a good way)... Fun crowd! BUT.... rude bartender, cheesy techno, awful band. I tried so hard to get into it, but it was just that bad. Had one drink and we bounced. Think it would have been better play'n some popular hip-hop (can't believe i just said that). Wasn't worth the $10 cover. Must have caught it on a bad night.
Review Source:Captain Nick's was the place to be on a Monday night for the local workers! Disco Night was one of the highlights of my week! I hardly ever went out on a weekend because of the crowds of tourists that would swarm the bars, but you can find the same people at Nick's every Monday night.
My one gripe about Disco Night? The disco music stopped at midnight and they continued to play Top 40 after that... which isn't really a deal breaker for me, but I mean, come on, it's DISCO NIGHT. If I wanted Top 40, I would have gone to McGovern's Yellow Kittens for WGW... but that's a different review. Anyway, they tend to offer live music on a regular basis. You can be outside on the deck area, but the main dancing area is inside. It does tend to get a bit crowded as the night goes on, and I don't recall ever paying a cover... if I have, it's never been more than $5 because my eyes would have bugged out of my head if that were the case. I hate paying cover fees. They break my heart.
OMG, I almost forgot about the sushi! Now, I haven't been to their sushi nights in about 2 summers... but they had "Sushi Bob" come over from the mainland to make sushi on the weekends for dinner. Nothing overly gourmet or anything. Only giant rolls were offered. GIANT. You got about 10 pieces per roll, costing approx $10-15 (including money for the tip bucket). You could even get a dinner plate with a pile of seaweed salad for about $5, and it wasn't the stringy kind of salad, but the kind with big leaves (?) of seaweed. I always wanted to order it in addition to my roll, but 4 out of 5 times they would sell out of their stock for the night by the time I got there since I'd go after work. I'm salivating just thinking about how good it all was. Baha.
Overall, I definitely think this is a place worth checking out, whether it's for sushi or to just dance and unwind!
Only giving this place a star because you half to give a place one star to write a review. In my book, this place should get negative 5 stars. Over priced drinks and the owner, who plays the piano, is a rude "a-hole" who hits-on and insults your girl friends. Be careful of this place and be ready to be insulted when your sitting by the bar minding your own business and a mustached creepazoid who owns the place insults your friends verbally over the mic.
Review Source:Dear Captain Nicks,
I dont quite remember the time I spent with you EXACTLY but I do remember loving it. Good band was blaring and the dance floor was full. My friend and I were there for the weekend and were being shown around by two BI natives (I was single one time) and they were sure to take us here. It was as if the whole island was in this bar. So many people, so many drinks... such fun. The outside seating is clutch. I will return with every trip to BI.
When a group of accomplished girls gets together for a ladies weekend celebrating one's engagement, Â one cannot do things half-way. Â Thus, off we were to experience all that Block Island had to offer in the way of dining, entertainment, shopping, beaches, and relaxation.
We ventured into Captain Nick's as a group of 10 tipsy, giggling girls happy to experience the locally reknowned musical stylings of the Booze Beggars. Â Color us astounded. Â While we weren't quite sure what to make of the horror-movie masks and Cotton-eyed Joe style dancing, we had a surprisingly lovely time.
Located in a Victorian style building, Captain Nick's features an open downstairs with a bar along one wall and a small stage centered along the other. Â The stage can also be observed from a wrap around loft space circling the perimeter of the second story.
Drinks were quite affordable - given the overall priciness of the Block's offerings - Â and delivered quickly by scrambling bartenders. Â The bartenders and patrons were all friendly and featured a good mix of full-time residents, part-time Blockers and vacationers. Â Ages ranged from early twenties to well into the fifties. Â Casual atmosphere. Â If I ever make it back to the Block, I'd definitely come back.
