It really hasn't been as fun since Jen left. Kim, Joe, and the others are great, but, they aren't her. They also raised their drink prices. I shouldn't be paying $10 for a pitcher of domestic beer. It was $7 or $8 in December. With the introduction of their drink specials...it's like they're trying to compete with other 2st bars. In a bad way. Other than that, it's still worth going on Thursdays because the jukebox is free from like 10-1 and the food is still the same. That will keep it at 4.

Based on those fish bowl drinks - yummy! But it was tough to get the bartenders attention at times.

For this kind of bar, I didn't expect much. I only got drinks, but they were very cheap and very strong compared to others in the Philly area. The staff, nothing but friendly. I only dealt with one jackass here who kept kicking the bathroom door thinking I was trying to get in while I was checking to see if it was locked. Cash only though.

I'm dismayed I was not the first person to review Nickel's. Rats! As you might discover from my other reviews--I love a good dive bar. I can hang out in a dive bar for hours on end. I can't say that Nickel's is not a good dive bar; because it is in fact very ...effective. But: at what? Hard to say. The place defies definition. It excels in its own unique, singular variety of foulness. Its so bad its, g...g--no, its still just bad. The hours I spent here long ago... like a childhood nightmare you never forget. This is is a bar which would actually benefit from a plague; from a motorcade of Hells Angels; from an invasion of 12th Century Viking berserkers; from a knee-deep flood of toxic chemicals running along the floor. This is a bar which --it would cheer one up to see it burning down. If everyone who usually frequents this bar on Saturday night were found crucified on large wooden crosses running along the sidewalk some Sunday morning; drained of blood; being serenaded by Scottish bagpipers; it would not be out of character for what usually goes on here. Humanity is deformed in this place; the way human souls are twisted and mauled and stretched on the hinges of Hell. Normal definitions of good and evil are upside down in the Nickel. This place is so peculiarly, spectacularly, supernaturally fetid; poisonous and stagnant; repulsive; just so ...wretched...bewitched..its beyond a dive bar. Its otherworldly. Its the bar that will survive the apocalypse; like cockroaches will. Its a bar which inhabits its own narrow; pressurized; dwarf-nebula, dead-zone, interstitial space...a darkness so profound.. reminiscent of what you might see when you put your eyeball up to the grate of a drain at the bottom of a swimming pool which has been closed up all winter. Sunlight has never entered this bar since it was built. Can I recommend anyone attend this place? Well yes. Once. Only one time, should you dare to enter here. After visiting here just once, your whole conception of the rest of the universe, may improve. You walk out of here after just one visit, vowing to lead a finer, cleaner life. You now know what the worst is that can happen to you. Nickels...ahh, Nickels..you remain beyond redemption...stay that way..

This spot gets 5 stars for a great dive bar! Came in on a Monday night hoping to get a sandwich and a beer. No food so I ordered a Bud Light and a shot of Jim Beam. Total cost: $6.50. That's a great deal. Joe the bartender was friendly and attentive. Local crowd seemed cool enough. This is the spot if you are looking for a dive bar to watch a game or just have some cheap drinks. Oh, did I mention they sell 40 oz. Beers to go?
