As far as dive bars go this is the spot you want to be. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what a dive bars is. Never tried the food but love the atmosphere and workers there!!! Might have to pop in and try the food sometime soon :) read more

Nike Sports Lounge is located in that one Hilliard area. It's where all the streets have shoe names, like Adidas and Reebok. They have the most popular national brands on tap. It has a few local breweries. They also have an assortment of bottles actually kept cooler than room temperature. It doesn't seem like anything special at first. It's kind of dark even in the middle of the day. There's lots of TVs on the walls. It has a fairly average draft list. They have the good stuff like Yuengling. It also has a few local breweries. They don't have food but there's a few restaurants in the strip mall you can order from and get it brought to you. If you like wings you have it good. There's a window to order them from Roadhouse. It has a stage for bands. The sound system is ok for a dive bar like this. There's lots of strip mall bars. It doesn't mean they have to suck. The staff here is pretty friendly for me usually. read more

New General Manager. Last person hired after Jared passed away. Fast forward to today? She has Jared's wings on her shoulders. Got rid of all the negative aspects that creeped into Nike. It's our "Cheers" bar once again! God bless you CW!! read more

The Nike Sports Lounge is a neighborhood bar, plain and simple. There are no bells or whistles here, just a big bar, taps, and a few good liqueurs. This isn't a place I'd like to go for a night out, but it's close to home, and sometimes you just need a beer and a change of venue. There are several mid-sized TVs at Nike; none of them are flat screens. Despite the name, there didn't seem to be much sports watchin' going on at this sports lounge. Sure, there were a few games and a race on TV, but no one was really paying attention to any of that, and many of the TVs don't have subtitles. The crowd here is mainly older. Most of them look like they've just been released from a GM plant somewhere. There's a pool table in the back and a small patio behind that. Roadhouse Wings is next door, and there's a tiny window where the waitresses exchange food from one establishment and drinks from the other. I think what I liked most is that there were a few newspapers on the bar. I'm a sucker for a good read. Beers were 1.50 each. They had Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Coors Light plus Killians, but that was 2.00 for a short. Our bartender was young and blonde. She sang to the songs that were playing as she waited on us and the rest of the crew that had saddled up to the bar. She kept a good eye on us to make sure we stayed satisfied. We didn't drink too much, but she didn't seem to mind. I never felt rushed or pressured to buy another drink. She let us stick around and chat over our empty glasses. Would I go back to Nike? Perhaps if I was in the mood to drink just a few beers with a crowd of strangers. But the crowd wasn't really my style. Next time, I might just grab a six pack from the carryout next door and take it back to my apartment. read more

Nike Sports Lounge - a man walking past parked cars - Dive Bars Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Wow, I felt like someone should update the Nike Lounge reviews. The interior is fairly well lit, almost too lit for a bar. The taps at Nike aren't anything out of the ordinary. The service is pretty good, even on busy nights. The televisions in the bar have all been upgraded, and they've got a nice little stage area for Karaoke on Friday and bands on Saturday. I highly recommend going if you want to have some fun and drink. read more

Loud rap music with just two other people in the bar. I just popped in for a quick beer and couldn't get out fast enough. Poorly run business that actually chases away customers; at least this customer read more

Now I'm all about the dive bars and this one is one. I am sick of dive bars in strip malls though and unfortunately this is one of those, too!! Not much to offer unusual here. I will give credit that the bartenders were friendly and good, but the crowd was not great in any way measurable, except to say it was crowd-ed. Mostly Hilliard-billys (and I can say that cause I am one at times). Try Lucky's instead. read more

The drinks here are cheap & the karaoke can be a really good time however, there's a lot of drama at this bar surrounding the owners. I'm not sure of why that is but the owners seem to have a very poor attitude & they don't treat their customers very well at all. read more

Terrible terrible terrible bar. I've been coming here for years now simply because of the karaoke. However, every time I turn around someone is getting disrespected. The drinks are cheap, but the people are rude. I must say, the owners continue to make bad decisions. Finally, I am done spending my time and money there. No appreciation for their customers. read more

Forever and always my home bar. Always a friendly face inside and you honestly can't beat their happy hour beer prices. Hungry? Good thing roadhouse is next door (window inside both to ensure speediness). Also Anges pizza is a few doors down. This bar has a Cheers feel to it. I've never brought a newbie who didn't have a good time. read more

Jared and Christy are the best bar tenders ever. They are on top of things and Jared doesn't allow any crap in his bar. Friday nights are karaoke with DJ Steve. He is really good too. During the summer the traffic kind of dies down but come winter it will be packed with people. There is a smoking patio, you can order Ange's Pizza or Wings from Roadhouse and they bring it there and it goes on your bar tab. Buckets of beer and drafts are pretty cheap. read more

Always good service bartenders are nice. Has a patio out back and pool tables. Nice little place

Was having a great time...I ordered a bucket of beer and enjoying myself...had to leave quickly due to a emergency and wasn't able to close my tab...came back the next day to close out and was disgusted to see the bartender helped herself to $15 tip on a $10 tab....will not be returning read more

Nike is the best dive bar in Hilliard!!! So much fun and all the bartenders are awesome. Kareokee on Fridays bands on Saturdays free pool on tues and Sundays! The prices are great and you get the best bang for your buck. It's full of regulars from ages 21-80 and after going a few times I felt like I've been going there for years. As to Michael L..... OMG! You heard sexually explicit language at a bar!!! Maybe you should take your dollar tip to Applebees. My friends and I love seeing Jess behind the bar! She makes perfect drinks and is so much fun. Obviously you hate your life and/or the size of your male body parts but do us all a favor and don't go there anymore. Well have more fun without you! read more

I live in the Hilliard area and it's been a couple of years since I've been in Nike so I decided to go in on Friday afternoon. Worst decision ever! I'm a single woman who's not really "looking" but as soon as I entered all eyes were on me. The bartender was very rude, TouchTunes played nothing but rap music and was so loud I could barely hear myself think! I tried to play TouchTunes but was told that "it's going to be busy for the next 2 hours". Seriously?! The customers were basically "West Side trash" and I hate using that term. As I walked out on the patio, I was asked if I "wanted to do a line" and then was offered coke. I don't even know who these people are but it seems to be a very acceptable thing to do here, both for the customers and also the bartenders. I was in this bar for about an hour and half and couldn't believe that a bar like this even exists in Hilliard! I don't know if the bar has new owners or that they just don't care but calling Nike a dive bar is actually a compliment. I will NOT be going back anytime soon. read more
