Cannot visit Austin without going to Nickel city! The food is delicious, not the cocktails are even better!!! I always get the pink drink and tater tots!! Their bourbon selection is impressive!

We went here for national hot dog day! Had some great dogs, exactly what you want when you want the classic! Nice frosty beer too! Pet friendly as well!

Is this the best bar in Austin? It’s in the running! This is not your hipster bar…this is a true Texas dive bar. They have a great bourbon selection at fair prices. Bartenders are top notch! The food is delicious! Better not touch my tots!

Awesome place to get my last cocktail during my visit to Austin. This place has a friendly, welcoming staff, a dark yet swanky feel. Almost like a speak-easy meets your local bar. The food is delicious and the drinks are just right. I would not have known about this place but some friends in our group were staying at the hotel close by so this became their regular spot while in town as they fell in love with the staff. So we closed out our trip here for a nightcap and great conversation. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town for a conference, comedy, or just to have fun.

Best bar in Austin!! I went during their winter setup and they really make you get in the Christmas mood. The bartenders are amazing energy wise and can make the drink fast. They also have great food options and their wings are amazing.

Nickel City is a cool bar most of the year but during the Month of Oct it's transformed into Moe's Tavern. It's amazing and a blast. Awesome Simpsons inspired food and drinks and cool atmosphere 😎

I stopped in for their Simpsons pop-up and it was very well executed! I loved how the servers were all dressed up as different characters. The cocktails, like the Flaming Moe, were delicious! The vibe was very fun and welcoming and the bartender even offered us free shots. Super fun and would highly recommend

Nickel City during their Simpson’s Moe’s Tavern theme is an absolute blast! The place was packed, creating an energetic, fun vibe that really brought the theme to life. They did an awesome job with all the themed drinks, adding a playful touch that made the experience even better. Went with friends, and we all had a great time soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the creativity behind each drink. Perfect spot if you’re looking for a unique, lively night out!

No wonder this place just won best bar in austin. We’re visiting from detroit and haven’t loved the bars downtown. We ventured a little out and discovered this gem. We’ve gone back almost every day. The bartenders are so kind and fun to chat with. The drinks are delicious and strong. The food is so delicious too! This is a bar for down to earth people. Will be missing this place when we go back home. Get the frozen Irish coffee!! 🥳❤️

My wife and I enjoyed our time at Nickel City. It’s a small venue, but it feels nice and intimate. There’s an outdoor patio as well if there’s nice weather. We liked how they decorated the bar for the holidays. The drinks were delicious and we appreciate the holiday themed cocktails. The cups and shot glasses were nice too. You can also purchase them if you want to bring them home. And I’m a sports fan so I appreciate the TVs playing games while I enjoyed the vibes.

Bartender asked me if I wanted to close out, and I said yes cause I just wanted 1 lonestar. He never brought me my receipt and I got charge triple cause they said I walked out on my tab and they get to gives themselves 18% gratuity. Talked to the manager and she didn't help. Also they dont have a number phone on Google so I had to drive back up there. They also do a 30 dollar pre authorization. I've NEVER heard of a bar that does 30 dollars preauthorizarion. Moe's tavern would never 😂

We weren’t allowed to bring in the gifts we had with us, even though we weren’t planning to open them yet, which we understood. The staff told us to leave the gifts outside and pick them up when we left. When we came out, only two of the three gifts were still there. When we asked about the missing one, the staff said it wasn’t their issue and that they didn’t have to do that for us.

Used to love this bar. Used to be the dive bar with great mixed drinks. Things are not going great. Went in on Labor Day for drinks, food, and to pick up a t shirt as a gift. It was moderately busy. They're not serving cocktails because they're too busy and they took at least as long to explain that as to just make a drink, with an attitude like it was our fault for ordering off the menu on the bar on front of us. Left without drinks, food, or merch. Hopefully things change for the better.
