Nick's Pub has become the default locale for many Edison Park residents. Stop in on a weekday and you're likely to find a crowd of older cats kickin' back with their favorite brews; these are the regulars. When the sun goes down, Edison Park's younger folk take over – this is the crew that puts Nick's old jukebox to good use. While an eclectic mix of songs stream through the thing, challenges of foosball and darts go down.

Drinking at Nick's is about as cheap as drinking at home, and that's not to say you'll be stuck with cans of Old Style and PBR (but Nick's has those, too!). As is the rule for most dives, Nick's doesn't do food, but the crew here doesn't mind if you bring in your own. When you're just not feeling the foosball and other frat-boy activities, avert your attention to the television set, where the game is always on.
