Horrible place...Stay away

by rlgirl23 at Citysearch

This place was just terrible. They're definitely not following liquor laws. Lots of dangerous rowdy guys hanging around. Staff was as scary as the patrons.

I wouldn't be surprised if the place got shut down. It certainly would make the world a better, safer place.

What a cool little place!!!!!!

by OC Lucy at Citysearch

If you are not from the I.E., and you happen to stumble on this place, you struck GOLD!!! Not real gold, but darn good enough. OMG!!!! This place rocks!!! I went by Friday afternoon and the front porch was full of people hanging out!! The juke box was Dope, and everybody was just hanging outside on a friday chillin!!! And I didn't have to hit the ATM machine twice to get a little swerve on. Cheap beers and a lot of cute guys just getting off work. Seriously though, a lot of good vibes. Everybody seemed to know everybody, and once again....somebody there knows how to rock that JukeBox!!! It's a busy street, so it's cool to sit outside in the summer and drink and watch the cars go by. LoL!!!

• Pros: The Patio area. Rock on!!!
• Cons: Uhhhh....none.

Always a fun time

Racist? Not so Mr. Greene! Owners supporting the harboring of criminals? Once again, nothing can be further from the truth Mr. Greene! Your review is nothing more than slanderous!

The truth about the Wooden Nickel! I am a native North Ender and have patronized many of the bars in the North End! I now live out of town but do visit the Nickel from time to time, to visit the owner and to have a great time! Juke box, laughs, and people dancing to people singing keroke off key is always a good time. The regulars always are friendly and willing to share a laugh and a handshake. The Wooden Nickel is a bar for what a bar should be . . . family owned, inexpensive beers, sports, music, and good laughs.

• Pros: Inexpensive beer; fun times
• Cons: No bar stools on the patio!

Where do people get all this crap?

by Irieman77 at Citysearch

Ok all this racist stuff is just a lie.......THATS IT!. I myself am polynesian and have NEVER had an issue with my race, I have met one of my best friends at the nickle from south africa and he has NEVER had a race issue. The Nickle gets exchange student from Cal State that come in from Japan Ghana Germany and they NEVER have issues in the Nickle. Bottom line is its a double wide on a dirt lot with charm, go down there and see for urself!

• Pros: Great prices great crowds
• Cons: NO BEER PONG!
