If you've lived in Platteville for even a year, you've probably been to Nick or at least Big Jim's back in the day. Nick's is very narrow and can get easily crowded. Despite that, I've enjoyed playing darts many moons ago when it was Big Jim's. The new owner does seem to work hard to make Nick's an entity in Platteville.
This is a classic example of what I consider a "limo bar". The bar is just like a stretch limo -- looooong and difficult to maneuver; it's basically a hallway you can drink in. It gets crowded fast. It isn't necessarily bad.
With a collection of vinyl records that stretches over a variety of genres, Nick's can please a large demographic from ages 21-81. Nick Pease, the owner, and his charming staff welcome guests with the warmest hospitality this side of the Mississippi. It has a rustic atmosphere and boasts an ever changing array of craft beers. I highly recommend this bar to anyone who likes to have a good time.
