    NICK'S IS AWFUL !!!

    WENT TO NICK'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLACK OUT APPEARANTLY ACTED LIKE A JAGOFF AND HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE BAR. WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND WAS WHY THAT INVOLVED ME BEING THROWN OUT BY FOUR THUGS, BEAT UP, AND THROWN IN THE ALLEY OUT BACK AND LEFT FOR DEAD TILL THE RAIN WOKE ME UP. IF I WAS THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM THEY PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE CALLED THE POLICE THIS ISN'T F____ING ROADHOUSE. THANKS GUYS HAD A GREAT TIME CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK SOON.

    Ew...their bathrooms are so nasty. But they're nothing compared to their bouncers. Well, just one in particular.

    This bar has an awful bouncer who seems to thinks he's king of the world working the door of "studio 54." In reality, he's just a pathetic loser that can't get a real job. He basically tries to make himself look powerful by putting innocent people down. I'll never step foot in that craphole ever again. Nick's would be sooooooo much better off without him there.

    After I closed out my tab, the bartender who didn't even serve me any drinks came after me with a vengeance. I had left a 17 dollar tip on a 117 dollar tab. She insisted that I left only 7 dollars. She also said that if I had left a 17 dollar tip that it wasn't even 20% and to not come back (In other words, a 17 dollar tip on a 117 dollar tab was not good enough for her). She resembled Meg Griffin from Family Guy. About 5'1" and heavy set with glasses. She claimed to be the manager after a gentleman confirmed to me that he was the manager. It reminded me of the episode when she was a waitress and told everyone that she was a single mother saying that Stewie was her son. She begged for money like a homeless trashy bum later in the episode taking all the tips and buying an over-expensive designer purse. Rule of thumb is that a server or bartender would never question a customer's tip. What kind of business does Nick's run? That so called manager was not professional by saying not to come back, because I am sure she doesn't chase everyone who doesn't leave a 20%+ tip. I'm sorry to ruin her perfect life. I tipped her more than 15% and she claimed that I left her less than 5%. Obviously she doesn't know her math, and she is desperate for money. I highly DO NOT recommend visting this bar if you normally don't tip more than 20% when you go out for drinks unless if you want a mouthful from a lunatic lady who will demand more money from your wallet.
