Nickel City is hands down one of my favorite bars in the city. The vibe is always fun and the drinks are consistently top notch. What really sets this place apart though is the staff. Eddie and Kat made the experience unforgettable. They’re the kind of bartenders who make you feel like a regular the moment you sit down. Super friendly, attentive, and they really know their stuff when it comes to cocktails. Whether you’re grabbing a casual drink or staying for the night, you’ll be in good hands with them. Can’t recommend this spot enough!

I love the location back home in Austin, but this one is great too. Liz and Connor were sweethearts, very personable customer service that felt like visiting old friends. Awesome happy hour. Perfect options for bar food, and beautifully made drinks. This visit, I had cocktails, but normally I like to have straight whiskey. They have literally a zillion whiskey options, can’t recommend this place enough.

Nickel City was my first impression of Fort Worth, long before it became a usual haunt for me.

This bar is the perfect blend of everything you could ever want when looking for a place to unwind after work or celebrate with friends.

The drinks have been nothing short of phenomenal and the food is not to be overlooked. Seriously some of the best wings in funky town come straight from Nickel City’s food truck.

The biggest highlight of any time you will spend at Nickel City is the people. The staff are super friendly and exceptional at what they do. Special shoutout to Micky for making Nickel City feel like more than just a bar. Micky always finds a way to make you feel right at home, whether you’re sitting at the regular bartop or in Bogazo, their side bar that specializes in tequila in mezcal.

Thank you Micky for all of the laughs and staying on top of all of the chaos. It’s always amazing how you can juggle everyone’s orders while still being fully engaged in conversation and genuinely interested in what everyone has to say.

I can’t recommend Nickel City enough. From Fort Worth natives to first-time visitors, this is a place you can’t miss.

And be sure to check out their holiday pop ups for Halloween and Christmas + their weekend tequila bar that I mentioned above.

Such a cool spot. Very unique cocktail menu, excellent service from Kat the bar tender. She seemed to know everyone by name and they sure knew her. She was attentive and mixed a fast, delicious drink. They have a small food menu with a few vegetarian options, we didn’t eat here but I would have. They have a tiny second bar in back. Huge space with tons of seating. Loved this bar
