New York Nicks

Pretty cool sports bar located downtown in Pensacola. Lots of cool memorabilia on the walls. If you are there to watch a game, the tvs probably are not as good quality as some of the chains, but this is a local business.

Better with a group of friends, although the patrons are amiable enough.  Located amidst lots of other bars and eateries in downtown Pcola, you can stop in and grab a beer on your pub crawling tour.

The meatball sub is tasty, and although the meatballs are sliced (generally a pet peeve of mine), the slices are about 1/2" of goodness.  The marinara sauce is tangy and you can actually taste the cheese.  I'd recommend that dish.

A couple of hours later, some people down the bar had some nachos delivered to them, which I don't remember seeing on the menu, and I wanted to go steal them...they looked and smelled that delicious.

Friendly bartenders, when they aren't very busy or understaffed.  This is my go-to place to hang out for parades and such, because of its capacious size and ease of entry/egress.  

If you've done any research at all on NYN's, you'll know that a lot of people ascribe asshole-like qualities to him.  He can certainly be that way, but I've noted on numerous occasions that he doesn't suffer fools blithely, which is a boon if you just want to hang out and not be bothered by dooshbags intent on drama or antagonism.

Nick's is probably the only place south of, say, the Ohio/WV threshold where you can buy cans of Genesee Cream Ale.  At $1.75 per 12-oz. can, it's a bargain.  I drank enough to construct a 5-level pyramid last night from the empty cans.  Good times.  I said "last night," but I was actually there 10 hours, so I wasn't hammered or even close.

Stop by and give it a whirl.  You might like what you find, but if you don't, there are lots of options in the general vicinity.

place is ok, downtown is lacking in weeknight food options but i was at World of Beer and really wanted some wings. Since WOB doesn't serve food I called New York Nicks for some wings to go and i would pick them up, then bring em back to WOB. Well when i picked them up i got to find out they charge a .25 to go fee! Who charges more for food when I the customer am literally picking it up?! So the price came down to $1/wing which I think is a little high. The wings themselves were pretty good decent amount of meat and no funky looking wings, although there was almost no sauce on the wings. Overall a so-so experience hence the 3 stars, I could believe the extra pick up fee. If there was a secondary option for wings in the downtown I would probably order from them next time
