never a dull moment at Nico's
Rachel T.

Nico's is one of my favorite places to go out to! You can always count on a crazy and fun night there. You walk in through the bar where there are Bloomfield locals of all ages hanging out. The dining room on the other side gets transformed into a karaoke bar every Saturday night. Unfortunately karaoke hasn't started back up yet since 2020, but I can't wait for them to bring it back! Karaoke is so fun and the drinks are cheap. I love going here because there are so many different types of people! Warning - do not go here with fresh hair or a fur coat - you leave smelling like cigarette smoke. That is the only downfall about Nico's....it's SO smoky. It really does affect me, but we only go every once in a while. I had my birthday party here in February 2020 before everything shut down, and it was definitely my most memorable birthday. If you call ahead you can rent the "stage". It is the section that is a step up from the rest of the dining room. We all dressed in 80's outfits and sang only 80's songs! It was so fun and the rest of the people at Nico's were not even phased by our group of 30 people in costumes and mullets! Lol! A few months ago my friend suggested I meet her at Nico's for brunch. She has always raved about it. I agreed and expected to be in for a super greasy, hangover breakfast. The food was SO good! I got the "healthy omelette" that had veggies and egg whites in it. The potatoes were crunchy and a little greasy, and perfectly crisp. I also added a pancake on the side since she always gets them. It tasted like a mix between dense cake and a funnel cake. I never order pancakes so it was a treat. An omelette, homefries, toast, a huge pancake, and a bloody mary cost only about $20. I will definitely be back for brunch, and you can catch me singing Alanis Morissette as soon as karaoke returns!

Pretty decent Order came in about 45 minutes Paid $18 and some change for 12 garlic parm wings wings and fresh cut fries with a order of 6 potatoe skins. Skins were a bit too done for my taste but still really good. I will be ordering again

I'm not going to lie - if a friend hadn't suggested this place for dinner and drinks, I never ever would have walked in. It's really easy to brush it off if you're walking by; from the outside it looks like a pretty standard bar. And when you walk in, it smells like a pretty typical bar - meaning that if this place ever closed, the next owner would have to rebuild the entire place to get the cigarette stench out. So yeah, I admit that my first impression was not a good one, and I actually thought to myself that if any more people showed up and started smoking I'd have to ask my friend to pick somewhere else for us to eat and talk. Fortunately, between it being a Thursday, the snow and the bitter cold temperatures, very few people showed up and the majority of the smokers stuck to the main bar area. So I picked a booth in the far corner of the seating room and met up with my friend; while I waited for them I took a peak at the menu - nothing super spectacular, but the prices were pretty cheap overall. So hey, at we know this bar has cheap sandwiches and cheap burgers. Once my friend arrived we both ordered some drinks, because of course you drink when you're in a place like Nico's. The beer and cider we ordered came in a glass and the original bottle respectively, and our water came out in plastic cups (something I'm admittedly not a big fan of - it's such a wasteful practice). We then split the fried zucchini and the recovery room pizza. The fried zucchini basket had four or five enormous stripes of zucchini and came with marinara sauce - it was quite tasty, although the sauce was pretty cold. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather have warm marinara sauce than cold. The pizza, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious. The recovery room special is a specialty; it has gyro meat, feta cheese on top on regular cheese, mushrooms and green peppers. This was VERY good, and I'm sure the fact that they make the pizzas to-order was part of why I found it to be so yummy. And by the way, my friend and I both took some pizza home with us - it was an enormous meal and more than either of us needed. So don't let the prices on the pizza frighten you, they're worth it. The good news is that overall my experience definitely got better as the night went on. The bad news is that I honestly don't think I'll go back to Nico's, at least not for quite a while. As delicious as the pizza was, nothing can make up for the fact that this place is a smoker's haven. With lungs as sensitive as mine, this is a dealbreaker, and I'm pretty sure it was only by pure chance that I came in on a night where no one was smoking near me; if the place had been any busier I'd've had to leave just so I could breathe normally, I'm sure. I'll still give the place an "a-ok" rating since the food was delicious, the prices were good, and our waiter (who I think was bar-tending as well) was very nice and very attentive overall. But with such a strong smoke smell an "a-ok" is all I can honestly give.

Festivus.

This appears to be a duplicate for the business but, I'll bite and write another review here…read more Spencer & his team do it again and again every year. This Halloween pop-up bar is hands down one of the best in the country. Themed, creepy, spooky, & ghoulish craft cocktails beyond your wildest imagination. Always spot on. Always delicious. And as always, a portion of sales are donated locally. Serving cocktails & the community. Bar staff and mixologists are some of the best in the business. Service is always stellar. Always. A lot of the drinks come in super fun themed cups & glasses. Don't be a D & steal them. This is a small business giving back.

I have an end of October birthday so I'm a sucker for all things Halloween…read more This place is so much fun. Every square inch is covered theme Halloween/spooky decor. Thankfully nothing is overly gory or too creepy. To avoid a line, it is best to go right at opening or about an hour before it closes. There is a list of fun themed drinks served in quirky glasses that match the theme of the drink (a mummy, for example). I visited three times and tried a different drink each time. One thing is that they can (and often do) search your bag to make sure you don't steal the glassware. Sad that they need to so that, but I guess I understand why they need to check. If you are looking for a quirky, fun experience while downtown, definitely check it out.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Very impressed by their craftsmanship and experimental flavors. There's not many places in this area that even attempt to do that. I love the speakeasy vibe. Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way
