Loud music , darts and even slots to entertain. Alcohol prices were very reasonable , Â bar was spacious and not overly crowded. Was attracted to the establishment by the name , had a swig at Nigs and even bought a shirt to prove it. Must check it out if your bar hoping at the dells. I will be back there.
Review Source:Alright come on folks, if you're over 21 and in the dells you HAVE to have a swig at Nigs! Â My husband and I love little dive bars so we had to check out this place. Â The drinks aren't anything special, just run of the bill like any bar would have. Â But the crowd itself is so diverse (ranging from bikers to older folks) that it makes the place a lot of fun. Â It is a great place to check out if you just want a quick drink.
Review Source:My boyfriend and I were intrigued by the name, and with both of us being recently 21 we were looking to check out what the Dell's scene looks like from that side. We stopped in for a drink, my boyfriend got a Miller Lite for $4 and got to keep the pint glass it came in, and I got a UV Blue Mixer for $3.75. We are used to the cheap campus bars we go to at school, but for a bar off of a college campus the prices weren't over our budget.
The bar was definitely something we are used too since we do hit up college campus bars most of the time. Neither of us used the restroom, but from the looks of things I am not sure it would be the best place to use the facilities.
The other two people in our party met up with us and purchased a drink just to get the pint glass it came in.
We did go early evening, so approximately 8pm, and the place was not crowded at all. It looked like there were a few locals at the bar, there was a couple playing darts and there was a pool table for pool play.
If we go to the Dell's again, which I'm sure we will, I think that we will hit up Nig's Bar again, we don't really have too much to complain about.
What's to complain about? Cheap drinks, loud music, tourists and locals. It's the recipe for a good story, especially for a bar that has an interesting name. And let's be honest, you would probably hate this place if you went sober or did not have the intention of binge drinking. Isn't that the mindset for most, if not all of the bars in the Dells?
Review Source:Ok before I even begin my review I just want to say one thing. Really people....get over the name. Seriously. Yeah yeah big deal it may not seem appropriate, but the names been there forever and its become a landmark in the town. Deal with it.
Now, as far as the place goes its not bad. It's not a club, its a bar and people do get drunk. It's not going to be amazingly decorated and all that jazz. WI Dells is not only a tourist city, it's also a place where people live and work. So yeah there will be locals hanging out there. I'm sure they can get annoyed at times with tourists, but honestly in this bar I can't see it being an issue unless your bringing negative attention to yourself. The drinks are reasonably priced $3.25 for a bottle of Miller Lite and $4 for a tap beer & you can keep the glass. They have pool tables and darts. And the bartenders were nice.
The only reason I give this place two stars is because it smelled AWFUL in there. Like stale vomit...it was disgusting. The bathroom was even worse. I walked into the ladies room and thought maybe it was the guys room or something. The mirror looked like it hadn't been washed in months, but with all of the water streaks all over it to the point where your reflection was fuzzy I'm guessing someone made half an attempt by trying to wash it with a handful of water thrown at it. I was amazed there was TP in the stalls, but i will say that I used my foot to flush the toilet. And thank God l carry hand sanitizer in my purse, because there was no way I was touching the faucet.
I went there to say I've been there because I have always heard about it. Bottom line is that we finished our beer fast and got outta there so we could inhale air without wanting to vomit ourself.
I LOVE NIGS and proudly display my tshirt even in an inappropraite setting..lol! My family has been hitting the dells since before I was born, which means Nigs was there before them..Its a landmark..its fun..the people are a hoot and as the gentleman before me put it so perfectly..its an "oasis"! You have to check it out!
Review Source:There are better dive bars in the Dells. Â The greatest attraction to the place was the name, obviously.
I had a cranberry vodka, he had a captain and coke. Â Drinks were fine. Â Then we ordered jello shots. Â They were prepackaged, like pudding cups! Â And they tasted awful.
It appears lots of locals hang out here, as well as tourists, but the locals at Nig's DON'T like tourists. Â At least not the "too cool" 20-something locals.
If you like dive bars, and are in the Dells, go to Sandbar, Tipper's or Fisher's. Â Hell, even the bar at Chalet Lanes bowling alley is better.
Despite the stupid name, Â we went in to have a drink. I asked the guy behind the bar what his top shelf tequila was, and he pointed me to the end of the bar. He didn't even know what liquor he had. Quite rude also for a bar in that area. Kinda weird that customers are such a bother to him.
Review Source:I guess dive bars are frowned upon in the Dells, can't figure out why, it's exactly what this town needs! Â On a street filled with shops all selling the same stuff, Nig's was like an oasis. Â During the 4 nights I was in the Dells, I found myself wrapping up 3 of those 4 nights at Nig's. Â Everyone was having a good time, jamming to whatever tunes were being played. Â This is what a dive bar is, a good time in a small place with a dirty bathroom, the only thing missing is some tasty bar food, but you can run across the street to Monk's for that
Review Source:One of the worst-named bars on the planet, it's an okay place. It seems to be the go-to bar for visitors and locals alike, and features a spacious floor with a dive-bar feel.
They offer some pretty good drink deals, like $4 for a Miller-filled pint glass that you get to take home, and the jukebox is digital (though most people seem to pick Nickleback and Kid Rock...thanks guys!). The ladies room is in need of some mid-evening attention, but the stall wasn't totally gross and had TP, so I guess it's a win in that respect.
While I wouldn't suggest it as a destination, you'll at the very least have  a decent time just watching the crowd.
Um so, yes I get it... it's a local thing. Â I'm still uncomfortable with the name even if there was a man named so. Â Now that I got that off my chest, let me tell you about my 35 minute visit to Nig's. Â We were up renting a cabin in the Dells and instead of staying in and drinking all the fine beer and drink we had already purchased, we thought we'd light up the night locally. Â First mistake, everythings closed. Â We had the cab drive us to a german beer hall, closed. Â We walked down the street to find a place to eat.. all closed. Â Then we ended up at Nig's. Â We walked in and saw it's pretty divey - not a bad thing. Â Lots of interesting things to look at, from the walls, to the bar, to the locals. Â The people who were there that night included older men watching tv and hanging out, and then a random group of rather young looking patrons who were all about to have a pretty unpleasant orgy in front of us. Â Slow dancing to fast music. Â Uck. Â Last but not least, if it's the only thing open I'll take it - and they had Honey Weiss on tap, so not all was lost. Â A bachelor party followed us in, so there's truth to the other reviews. Â It just seemed like a place filled with STDs and lots of ways to get them.
Review Source:Probably the most happening bar in Wisconsin Dells. Â No joke. Â They had everything from locals to bachelorette parties here. Â Hell, I was here for a Bachelor party. Â Bonus points for carrying Tenacious D on the juke-box and not kicking my group out for our drunkenly screaming along to songs. Â Luckily we had a group of 12 guys or else a few select friends probably would have gotten beaten up for smoking cigars, booing the Brewers and Packers on the TVs, and yelling things like, "Go Bears!" and "Go Cubs!".
