Fun, fun, fun!  Want to do something different - give it a try.

Came here for a gals night out for country line dancing and karaoke.  I was a bit on the hesitant side, but I will try anything once with my friends!  

Arrived, paid $5 since I wanted to take the line dancing lessons, had a beer and we immediately started the lessons.  I was so nervous, but it was a lot of fun.  I highly recommend you get there for the lessons.  Very helpful and you find yourself picking it up after a few times.  After the lesson was over, we found a table, ordered food to munch on and had drinks.  The waitress was really attentive and nice.

I was disappointed they only have 2 beers on draft.  Bud Light and Shock Top.  Everything else is served in bottles.  I knew something was up when I noticed a gal had a cozy in her back pocket!  Later, we went in the back room for karaoke.  Folks were line dancing and couples were doing the 2 Step.  2 Step consists of couples dancing in a circular pattern all the way around the room with a few spins and fancy footwork from time to time.  Country line dancing took place in the center of the dance floor while 2 Step dancing took place on the perimeter of the room.

It was sooo cool to take in the scene.  Being from Northern VA, this was my first time experiencing this Southern culture.  I met people from Texas, saw guys in their Cowboy hats, boots and big belt buckles.  The decor is old fashion and has a small town feeling to it.  I really felt as though I was transported from stuck up/snobby DMV to a more warm-Southern hospitality sort of place.  The guys are super normal here, they want to dance and they show you how to do the line dancing and 2 Step.  

I liked the fact that its metro accessible, being 1 mile from Van Dorn or a $5 cab ride.

Country music is not my scene, but I can appreciate a fun place when I see one and good times with friends.  I will go back as soon as I can!

Nicks' is so much fun!  It's a laid back country bar with no pretenses.  They have country line dancing lessons starting at 7 on weekends, with open line dance and two stepping from 9 on with a live band.  There is also a karaoke bar in the back...of course country music mainly.

The place is kinda divey, but what would you expect?  Even my non-country friends have a good time when we go.

I've been here 2 or 3 times, only because my girlfriend wanted to go. Drinks were small and expensive, and two of the times I went there, I think the bartender added a few extra drinks on my tab. At first I thought maybe I had just lost count of how many drinks I ordered, but then after talking to a few people who've been there before, they said the same thing. Also, I don't like country music. At least not the kind they play there. They have a karaoke room in the back, but it's just more country music. A lot of military guys hang out and work there too, and a lot of them are a**holes. Actually, a lot of people who go there are a**holes. And thats another thing, don't bring your girlfriend if you go, they're just gonna get hit on by every guy there, right in front of you. There are plenty of better bars in NOVA. Also, it takes fu**ing FOREVER to get a drink at this place.
