One of my favorite regular places to go. The staff are ultra friendly and so are the patrons. The feature a nightly poker tournament except on Fridays and Saturdays which are karaoke nights. The kitchen is full service and has pretty good food. I usually get their chicken wings because they are some of the meatiest in town. Drink and dinner specials are featured every night. One thing to mention, if you don't like smoking then don't go here because it gets very smokey when the place fills up with people. They also have several pool tables some video games and darts. Trivia is featured on Friday night which is a good chance to win some prizes.
Review Source:My crew loves karaoke but won't be going back... sister and I were actually cut off by the DJ in midsong... here's the story:
Husband and I scoped the place out weeks in advance of our group's big weekend visit to Carmel. Â Cheap prices on food and drink. Â Big servings of food we didn't want to finish. Â Nice staff, good DJ. Â Good mixed-age crowd not into the karaoke that night. Â Even the Mayor of Valparaiso was there with his entourage gearing up for some karaoke.
So, we gave it a try the next week. Â Remember: Â great drink prices. Â Dragged the crew in sober. Â Needed drinks to endure a different DJ. Â A DJ who thought he was Slim Shady and rapped after every patron's turn, sometimes twice. Â He hogged the stage and led his 2 girl groupies with him to wiggle and swoon at his moves. Â Tragic.
So Sis and I... Â did I mention she's a community theater actress who specializes in musicals? Â Sis and I get on stage singing spot-on... with altered lyrics and a dance routine. Â Nothing skanky. Â Just, well, making fun of the lyrics ol' Slim Wannabe had been singing. Â The regulars got the joke and were getting a good laugh. Â But Slim didn't like that and actually shut off the music into the third verse.
The crowd was great, one guy chastised the DJ, but damage was done.... Â
Nothing fancy, just dive bar without the dregs. Â There's smoking, but it's not so heavy non-smokers can't endure it for some good drinks. Â
My crew loves karaoke, but we still haven't found what we're looking for...
A completely hidden-in-plain-sight bar with a diverse, friendly crowd of patrons. Â On a whim, we headed to poker night on a random Sunday...not only were the usuals extremely welcoming and laid back, but the beer selection was decent and we had a fun time.
Yes, my feet were sticking to the thinly carpeted floor, and I felt like I could smell cigarette on my hair for the next 2 days, but it was still worth it. Â Bartenders were great. Â Didn't eat any food, but it looked good.
You can tell that there are definitely some regulars which frequent this place, a pretty big crowd of different ages and backgrounds. Â Nippers - where America gathers! Â I don't know how often I'll be back, but it is right near where I work and an at times welcome change from the majority of the trendy, more expensive bars that are the norm in Carmel.
As previously mentioned, I have lived in Carmel for over 3 years and unfortunately have driven past Nippers countless times without stopping. In a mild debate about where to go for a friend's 26th birthday celebration, we were coerced into trying Nippers via another friends passion for Dive Bars. An that my friends, is EXACTLY what it is! D-I-V-E! Although, I was extremely skeptical as we walked in the doors and were greeted by the smell of smoke and some of Indianapolis' *finest* people; I left at 1 am impressed. The drinks were extremely affordable, but not too cheap to make you wonder. The service was excellent! We had a team of two friendly men waiting on us the entire night, even as the bar became more and more busy. At one point, I think my friends started just putting their hands in the air, similar to that of a school aged child, and the bar tenders appeared in a jiffy! The DJ, was an interesting character to say the least, but was efficient at getting the crowd dancing and karaoke-ing!  He played decent music, although too much country in my personal opinion! Needless to say, it was  a great time, and I think our tab for 6 people was $100! And that included 6 rounds of shots! :)
Go have yourself a $3.25 well drink and a fine time at Nippers!
Dive dive dive bar. Loved it. Â It reminds me of Main Event on the west side where I worked when I first moved to Indy back in 2002. Â Let's just say there is NOTHING fancy about this bar. Â It is smokey and dingy and the bathroom is dirty...
And, with $3.25 well drinks on Saturday night, this momma who hasn't really drank in two years ended up vomiting in someone's car on the way home and blacking out for the first time since I was 25. Â Klassy (oh yah, with a K). Â I can only assume it was all because of Nippers, so .....it's definitely A-OK, but not somewhere I plan to go back to for a very long time.
They host Friday/Saturday night karoke. Â I do remember that much b/c it started early enough that I wasn't tanked yet.
Went there this last Monday night, for my 30 something b'day with a co-worker and his wife. Â HAD A BLAST! Â Beer, beer, pool, jager shot, beer, beer, jager bomb. Â For the non-smokers & smokers it was pretty decent. Â Even though Hamilton County is non-smoking they still allowed smoking and it didn't seem like it was a typical smokey bar. Â Tuesday night they have free pool and if you check out their website <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nippers2.com&s=0f3a9915e729a9c3b5bbb89ebdb51310a436a0866972502df61f5d4b65f27af7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.nippers2.com</a> you can see their specials.
