We rolled into this establishment with a 9-set bachelor party on a Saturday night. After having a couple of drinks I notice that country music is punishing my ears. When I scanned the tavern for the jukebox I noticed that the interior setup was a steaming mess. There were 5 of those gambling machines that don't pay out any money, next to an ATM that charges $2.50 per withdrawal. On a different wall there was like 3 dartboards, some other nonsense, and the jukebox! On the way to the men's bathroom is a pool table where two tea-totaling pool sharks inevitably use the area of 2 pool tables for their game, it's difficult to successfully navigate. And the decor was tired, lame, and dusty. The country music pounding through this dive bar was more than I could take so I spent $20 on the jukebox. I put on a GLAM METAL CLINIC and thus destroyed the pleasant townie atmosphere the WiDells locals created for themselves. As soon as glam metal giant Cinderella came in over the tavern speakers a third of the patrons evacuated the premises. Two of my buds told me that I changed the vibe of the whole tavern. It also cleared space on the floor for more exuberant dancing. Here's the trick to the jukebox: $0.50-$1 a song- pay extra to skip all the rest of the music and also pay extra to play the music video version so locals get educated on how androgynously sexy MTV looked 25 years ago. The jukebox is one in which you can play just about any song through the search function. During our Glam Metal singing and dancing fun we shattered a pint glass on the floor. None of the staff cared- I've been 86'd from other establishments for far less. The men's bathroom is awesome for exhibitionalist males! You can surprise other dudes with your junk during the evacuation process as there is nothing to prevent wandering eyes after opening up the bathroom door. Do a back lean for extra affect. To close out our time at Nig's I gifted the townies thrash metal through a set of Pantera and Anthrax music videos. On the upside, buying 9 drinks at a time costs $36 and they serve them quickly. Tip: don't buy a 'had a swig at Nig's' shirt at the tavern, just go to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army and get a used one for $2.

Nig's is your stereotypical "locals" dive bar located in the heart of a seasonal tourist town. Personally my husband, friends and I think it is awesome every time we have gone and we are ALWAYS amused by the shegnanigans of the more than colorful clientele that flocks to this joint! The drinks are more than adequate and so, your bartender may be a bit on the surly side, suck it up Sally, chillax and have a drunken good time!!!!

Ok before I even begin my review I just want to say one thing. Really people....get over the name. Seriously. Yeah yeah big deal it may not seem appropriate, but the names been there forever and its become a landmark in the town. Deal with it. Now, as far as the place goes its not bad. It's not a club, its a bar and people do get drunk. It's not going to be amazingly decorated and all that jazz. WI Dells is not only a tourist city, it's also a place where people live and work. So yeah there will be locals hanging out there. I'm sure they can get annoyed at times with tourists, but honestly in this bar I can't see it being an issue unless your bringing negative attention to yourself. The drinks are reasonably priced $3.25 for a bottle of Miller Lite and $4 for a tap beer & you can keep the glass. They have pool tables and darts. And the bartenders were nice. The only reason I give this place two stars is because it smelled AWFUL in there. Like stale vomit...it was disgusting. The bathroom was even worse. I walked into the ladies room and thought maybe it was the guys room or something. The mirror looked like it hadn't been washed in months, but with all of the water streaks all over it to the point where your reflection was fuzzy I'm guessing someone made half an attempt by trying to wash it with a handful of water thrown at it. I was amazed there was TP in the stalls, but i will say that I used my foot to flush the toilet. And thank God l carry hand sanitizer in my purse, because there was no way I was touching the faucet. I went there to say I've been there because I have always heard about it. Bottom line is that we finished our beer fast and got outta there so we could inhale air without wanting to vomit ourself.

I LOVE NIGS and proudly display my tshirt even in an inappropraite setting..lol! My family has been hitting the dells since before I was born, which means Nigs was there before them..Its a landmark..its fun..the people are a hoot and as the gentleman before me put it so perfectly..its an "oasis"! You have to check it out!

Despite the stupid name, we went in to have a drink. I asked the guy behind the bar what his top shelf tequila was, and he pointed me to the end of the bar. He didn't even know what liquor he had. Quite rude also for a bar in that area. Kinda weird that customers are such a bother to him.

I guess dive bars are frowned upon in the Dells, can't figure out why, it's exactly what this town needs! On a street filled with shops all selling the same stuff, Nig's was like an oasis. During the 4 nights I was in the Dells, I found myself wrapping up 3 of those 4 nights at Nig's. Everyone was having a good time, jamming to whatever tunes were being played. This is what a dive bar is, a good time in a small place with a dirty bathroom, the only thing missing is some tasty bar food, but you can run across the street to Monk's for that

Great drinks!! Fun bartenders!! We had a large group the bartenders definitely took great care of us!!

Well, this place is pretty okay I guess. We stopped in to watch part of a Packer game and they had a nice homemade potluck thing going on in the corner. I can only imagine the wives and grandmothers who slaved over the spinach dip and BBQ mini hot dogs.The bartender, and obviously knowing we were not locals, graciously offered for us to enjoy any of the food. They had better taps than what some people are saying, maybe they've upgraded or it's just my taste. Prices were reasonable, we even got a couple of free beers. We hid in the corner but talked to other tourists that seems nice. Overall, this bar does what it's supposed to do, offers drinks at a reasonable price and gets you buzzed. They have enough TVs for the sports folk and plenty of space to accommodate. The women's bathroom was scary but other than that, not a bad place. I wouldn't go out of my way to hang out there but in passing it's a nice stop.

Nig's is not for the average city slicker looking for a fancy cocktail and a pristine night out. It's amazing and wonderful in the most divey way. From the rowdy clientele to the bartenders doing shots and drinking along with the patrons. I saw boobs, a great basketball game, and a girl on the bar all before 10 p.m. There was also a DJ who started playing Top 40 and requests. Now you know the atmosphere, so I'll talk product. I didn't drink out of the tap, which didn't seem too extensive. However, they've got a bottle fridge with just about anything you could want (3 kinds of ciders, Mike's/wine coolers, and even the typical beers). The frozen margarita's were on point and we even got to keep the glass (for only $6 to boot). Also, I had the best (and cheapest) Long Island I've ever tasted. Both bartenders were super friendly and made great drinks. All-in-all, I would say Nig's is a definite visit if you like cheap drinks and a divey atmosphere. My fiancé and I only spent 30 bucks and probably had 9-10 drinks total.. plenty to get a buzz going!

There are better dive bars in the Dells. The greatest attraction to the place was the name, obviously. I had a cranberry vodka, he had a captain and coke. Drinks were fine. Then we ordered jello shots. They were prepackaged, like pudding cups! And they tasted awful. It appears lots of locals hang out here, as well as tourists, but the locals at Nig's DON'T like tourists. At least not the "too cool" 20-something locals. If you like dive bars, and are in the Dells, go to Sandbar, Tipper's or Fisher's. Hell, even the bar at Chalet Lanes bowling alley is better.

Not sure what all the fuss is about this place. I spent an August weekend night in the Dells and thought I'd check out some of the local businesses. Nig's has a catchy slogan and word of mouth says that it's a bar to visit. Conveniently located on a major strip. Upon first entry I was taken aback by the mish-mash of decor. Signs stapled to the angled ceiling, dart games blocking the flow of movement, obnoxious neon signs, and a bar that has seen better days. The crowd reminded me of my college days....14 years ago. It was like the same people were time warped here except with more tattoos. The bar staff was nice but uninformed. I asked for a Paloma, which is a relatively simple summer drink. The bartender never heard of it. The beer selection was minimal. I'm guessing it's a steady stream of rail whiskey/rum & soda drinks all night. Price per drink was standard for most semi urban Wisconsin cities. Overall, not recommended. If you're interested in the novelty or want a tshirt, stop by. If you're looking for a good bar, keep walking.

The infamous Nigs on the strip in the Dells. Excellent for people watching although I find the tap list to be lacking.

Nigs is located in the heart of downtown, but it's a breath of fresh air from the surrounding cheesy gimmicks. We visited early in the evening and had no trouble getting a seat right at the bar. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. Drink prices were reasonable and we noticed they had some great specials. I gave 4/5 stars only because the restrooms were clean, but could use some TLC. The toilets, sinks, etc. were definitely on their last leg. The tile in the ladies' room was cracked and missing in some places - which I can imagine could spell disaster for a tipsy lady in heels. My hubby noted that the locks on the stalls in the men's room were either broken or spaced too far apart to actually lock. The overall atmosphere is laidback. Great people, great music, and lots of fun. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed here in early October and spent about 3 hours at Nig's on Friday night, the atmosphere and people reminded me of bars back home were everybody knows you. We had a couple pitchers of two hearted ale and a couple of Hopalicious by ale asylum they were only like $8 a pitcher for craft beer. On Saturday we ducked our heads into the Sandbar and pitchers of Miller lite were $10 we opted for another option. We then proceeded to duck into the showboat saloon and the crowd was generally early 20's D-Bags who use the terms "SWAG" and don't curve the bills of their hats....we ended going back to Nig's and enjoyed ourselves for a couple hours.

I would give the bar 4 stars because I love going there but it will only receive 3 from me because this last trip I went with the intention of buying a souvenir glass and they were sold out!!! I wish there was a way of purchasing online, because I do not know when I'll be able to travel there again.
(3)J P.
It's a dive bar in the middle of Chicago-North!! Service was good and the prices were great. The restrooms were ... divey.
(3)Sarah R.
When you're in the Dells you gotta have a "Swig at Nigs". So we did.....a few times. It's a total dive, but that's what's fun about it! Can't go to the Dells without stopping in at Nigs.
(4)Ashley C.
If you can get past the name, it's yet another great divey joint the Dells has to offer.
(4)Stacey L.
One of the worst-named bars on the planet, it's an okay place. It seems to be the go-to bar for visitors and locals alike, and features a spacious floor with a dive-bar feel. They offer some pretty good drink deals, like $4 for a Miller-filled pint glass that you get to take home, and the jukebox is digital (though most people seem to pick Nickleback and Kid Rock...thanks guys!). The ladies room is in need of some mid-evening attention, but the stall wasn't totally gross and had TP, so I guess it's a win in that respect. While I wouldn't suggest it as a destination, you'll at the very least have a decent time just watching the crowd.
(2)Bill S.
It's a dive bar with the tradition to enjoy a "swig" there. If you don't get that it happens to be somebody's name or are offended because you infer otherwise, don't stop by. It will open a barstool for those of us who are in the Dells to have fun. Staff was very polite.
(3)Jide F.
What's to complain about? Cheap drinks, loud music, tourists and locals. It's the recipe for a good story, especially for a bar that has an interesting name. And let's be honest, you would probably hate this place if you went sober or did not have the intention of binge drinking. Isn't that the mindset for most, if not all of the bars in the Dells?
(5)JT T.
Loud music , darts and even slots to entertain. Alcohol prices were very reasonable , bar was spacious and not overly crowded. Was attracted to the establishment by the name , had a swig at Nigs and even bought a shirt to prove it. Must check it out if your bar hoping at the dells. I will be back there.
(5)Michael S.
Your average bar, decent prices People need to lay off this bar for the name, Nig probably is the owner of the bar. I knew someone named Nig, does that mean he was racist. Settle down and have a swig at Nigs!
(4)Justin W.
Probably the most happening bar in Wisconsin Dells. No joke. They had everything from locals to bachelorette parties here. Hell, I was here for a Bachelor party. Bonus points for carrying Tenacious D on the juke-box and not kicking my group out for our drunkenly screaming along to songs. Luckily we had a group of 12 guys or else a few select friends probably would have gotten beaten up for smoking cigars, booing the Brewers and Packers on the TVs, and yelling things like, "Go Bears!" and "Go Cubs!".

Um so, yes I get it... it's a local thing. I'm still uncomfortable with the name even if there was a man named so. Now that I got that off my chest, let me tell you about my 35 minute visit to Nig's. We were up renting a cabin in the Dells and instead of staying in and drinking all the fine beer and drink we had already purchased, we thought we'd light up the night locally. First mistake, everythings closed. We had the cab drive us to a german beer hall, closed. We walked down the street to find a place to eat.. all closed. Then we ended up at Nig's. We walked in and saw it's pretty divey - not a bad thing. Lots of interesting things to look at, from the walls, to the bar, to the locals. The people who were there that night included older men watching tv and hanging out, and then a random group of rather young looking patrons who were all about to have a pretty unpleasant orgy in front of us. Slow dancing to fast music. Uck. Last but not least, if it's the only thing open I'll take it - and they had Honey Weiss on tap, so not all was lost. A bachelor party followed us in, so there's truth to the other reviews. It just seemed like a place filled with STDs and lots of ways to get them.
