5th bar on my pub crawl. Got there around 2:30 . Very small but the beer was cold and the bartender was very nice. They do have a small patio in the back for the smokers. Met a dude named mad dog a bar regular , (my third mad dog in my life) and have a good conversation. All in all good to stop by and have a beer to wait out traffic not sure how it is at night. read more

This place is weird... has some odd level of creepiness that is more apparent here than other dingy feder-road pubs. It felt like the holding cell for people before they expire or fall off the face of the planet. Or where junkies come to wait for their "dude" either way, it's odd. Maybe less odd if you're not a chick dressed in a semi-cute outfit of course. Either way, I wouldn't want to come back even if I was wearing a rubber suit. Yeah, and the crockpot of boiled day-old hot dogs sitting on this corner table for patrons to "help themselves" was more gross than you can imagine. Seeing drunk people actually help themselves to it was just fowl. Beyond. Fail.... I'm certain there are things that are going on here in the back that I don't want to know about, possibly the selling/trading of body parts or organs. Or maybe a labratory for "substances" .....hmmmmm. Basically, in my mind this place is the perfect location for CSI or COPS. read more

Niki's is our neighborhood 'local' - usually someone I know is in there either on the way home from work or getting out for a drink in the evening. drafts drafts, full bar, occasional bar food. The crowd is pretty diverse - some really regular regulars, off shift wait staff from the restaurants up and down I-10. Sometimes you see a few folks who look a little uncomfortable at the basic decor and the regular regulars - they should try City Center. read more

This is the sister bar of O'Malley's Irish Pub and The Old Brick Tavern. Same concept runs throughout the bars. Brick walls, small interior, fun regulars, sasssy but fun bartendars. The beer is always cold and party always fun. read more

10/10 paige is the best bartender i've ever met. So nice. This bar is in my neighborhood so i've been coming for years and I just recently met paige and she's awesome! definitely check it out read more

Just stopped in for a quick drink, and to check up on the place. I used to go there many years ago. Place looks just about the same as it did back then. I think the only difference was the updated/upgraded juke box. we sat down and the bar tender poured us a free shot because we sat in their "special seat". Not much to this place. It is basically a bard, a juke box, and a pool table. No smoking inside was nice. I would go here again if i were in the area and looking for a tiny, divey drinking hole. read more

It's great to go to for a laid back environment. We now know 3 of the bartenders- so that helps! (Good drinks!) It's pretty small inside, but there is a pool table and a digital jukebox. Out back is where we normally hang out. Small but nice covered patio with picnic tables- great for playing domino's! read more

What a shit hole. Definitely not a recommendation to visit. The place is filthy, the staff is unfriendly and incompetent. When you work in self styled Irish pub you should be able to make Black and Tan. It's just a shitty neighborhood bar that offers nothing. I'm sure if you wanted waste enough of your life to become a regular, the service would improve. But since there are good bars in the area why waste your time. Nikki's Irish pub can kiss my arse. read more

Great neighborhood bar, fantastic back patio, wedn night steak night and Thursday night rib night, pool, jukebox, strong drinks, fun atmosphere! read more

This place is super dope and chill Lauren was a great bar tender! Came on a Saturday afternoon, wasn't packed but service was still friendly! Had great music across several genres! They even offered us free pizza! read more

Chill vibes with a small town feel atmosphere! Lauren was friendly and a great bartender. Great place to spend the afternoon or party with friends at night read more

It is often said don't judge a book by its character however in this case I strongly disagree, This place is very clearly poor managed with the outside looking like a rat hole and the inside very dirty and sticky floors, I would not even rate this as a bar it doesn't deserve that recognition, the music is too loud for such a small place, the bartender an older caucasian women with the attitude share by most rabid dogs, the only reason I would return to such a place is to witness "it's going out of sale" sign on the door, in other words don't come here. There is a plethora of bars down I-10 more worthy of attention. read more

I used to work near here and would come often for that after work beer which is necessary if you're in the service industry. It's great to have a dive where you can always get on the pool table and never have to wait long for a drink. On the other hand, their beer selection is not great and they only have two drafts. They also don't have a full bar liquor-wise. The regulars kind of creep people out (Danielle G) but they're generally just normal squirrels trying to get a nut. They might be old squirrels but I applaud their moxie. Nikki's doesn't try to be anything its not and thats it's charm. read more

Most chill bar I've been to in Houston. Very good vibes and inexpensive drinks. Lauren was very accommodating and made the experience better

Was leaving baseball practice stop at a bar and this one came up. Best choice ever made. Carlos the bartender made sure we were good. Definitely will come back when I'm back on this side. read more

Great bar. Great prices. Great atmosphere. I have only one complaint and that is about one bar tender. Corey was extremely rude and condescending to me while I was there. I had a couple of drinks then left because of her attitude. I will absolutely be returning to this bar, how ever if Corey is tending bar I will leave immediately. read more

Had a blast at Nikki's! Beer was cold the drinks were made right and the crowd was fun. A lot of locals here but that is part of the fun...one you meet one you get to know a few and the whole night becomes that much more fun. Our bartender Lindsay was very friendly and we never had to wait for our drinks! I will be going back to Nikki's for sure. read more

Great atmosphere alot of fun the jute box is packed with all types of music great bartenders and a great place to grab a drink afterwork recommend this place to anyone read more

Bartenders are personable and very attentive to orders and requests! Venue is lively and friendly! Bartenders: Paige and Lauren are the go to bartenders for the good drinks and experience! read more

Super great spot. Really chill, and good vibes. Paige is AMAZING. She made me her Roofie Colada and it was bomb

This bar is all about the regulars who frequent it. Nikki's has a solid core of folks who welcome just about anybody who walks in the door to a good conversation or a friendly game of pool. If you've spent any real time here you know the bartenders are genuine and the camaraderie is far and away superior to any other bar in the area. No offense to Burlap or Brittmore or any of the others I've spent hours at, but Nikki's is far and away the best place to relax and unwind after a shit day. That's a big reason many of the service industry staff end up here late nights after leaving the watering holes they work at. Nikki's really is the most community-like bar scene you're going to find. Spend 2-3 nights a week here for a month and I'm willing to bet the people will keep you coming back for more. I can't reiterate enough the quality of the conversation that takes place inside at the bar or out back on the smoking patio, Whatever the bar lacks in the eyes of a chick in a "semi-cute" outfit and the knuckle-dragging, drool-monger she's looking for, it makes up in people who love having a beer or ten with other flawed, but genuine people, in an organic environment. Giving the place 5 stars would be a stretch. Nikki's is what it is, but rest-assured, it's a place with more than its share of 5-star individuals who frequent. Come say, "Hi", to Lindsay, Carlo and Jackie or any of the other great bartenders. Meet the regulars and become one. Play a game of pool with Kenny and if you win, consider it divine intervention. Get a hug from Charlie. Talk to the resident hipsters about movies and music. Hear some great stories from an older gentleman name Don. Ask Jeff about his favorite joke. Whatever you do, come spend some time with the best kind of folks you can hope to meet at a bar. read more

Love this place!!! Great place to relax and just chill! Thanks Paige for the great service and happy/positive vibes

Went here with the gf and her parents while in houston over a holiday weekend. Great little dive bar within easy walking distance of their house, and even has a back patio to hang out outside. Gf says the only negative is the women's bathroom. read more

Best bartender I've ever had. She's hot, very hot and makes sure your drink is full at all times. 10/10 would recommend.

this place is the best , Ask for Paige she's a rockstar !!!!!! so fun and chill , love coming here on a weekday or weekend night.

I am not sure where I should begin this review at, so I guess I'll start with the food. [= The food was AMAZING. I had a French dip sandwich and my boyfriend has the stuffed cabbage rolls. They were both amazing, but honestly, I was jealous that I didn't order the cabbage rolls myself. Luckily, they give you three ginormous and I mean GINORMOUS stuffed cabbage rolls with two sides. This meal alone could feed at least 2 very hungry people, if not three people. The only issue with this, is finding somebody who will share their cabbage rolls. I know, if it was my cabbage rolls that I had ordered for dinner, I wouldn't dream of sharing unless I absolutely had to [=. I even had to sneak a bite ... or 5 (shhhh lol) from my boyfriends plate. .We did get everything to go, but we ordered at the bar while having a drink. Also, if you plan on ordering an adult beverage from Katz's bar, then you better be prepared to pay. It was nearly $8 for a well vodka and orange juice. If I would have know that, I would have ordered a $3 Miller Light like my boyfriend did. I understand that we went on a Saturday night at 11:30pm and that nobody has a happy hour or drink specials on Saturdays or that late in general, but $7.45 for a well is beyond absurd if you ask me. There specialty drinks, which include top shelve liquors and martins were only $8! I would have ordered one of those! If that's not a rip off, I don't know what is!!! Another ridiculous fee that they add, or at least try to add is this "to go" automatic gratuity. First, I want to say is that I am a server, and have been for almost 10 years. I know that this (tips and gratuity) is how anyone in the service industry makes their money and pays their bills, and I never "stiff" a server or bartender. EVER. This being said, I asked about the "to go gratuity charge"because 'gratuity' and alcohol tax are the two biggest changes in the service industry that started in 2014. January 1, 2014 to be exact. I asked the manager, Jeremy, about that automatic gratuity and he decided to argue with me. He ended up taking off the automatic gratuity, but it wasn't easy. Where I work you NEVER make a guest feel like they are in the wrong, especially when they aren't! I was so mad. The bartender, Jessica, was awful at best. You could tell by her attitude, that I was clearly a burden that just so happened to sit at her bar. I understand the difference between being busy and in the weeds and just not giving a crap about her job or more importantly, her guests. She was rude and didn't want to spend 5 seconds with us to answer some questions that we had regarding the menu, the one saving grace is that the hostesses helping us. These two hostesses went beyond their job title as "hostess". I am kicking myself because I did not catch either of their names when they clearly deserve recognition at the least. Especially, since they care about the guests more than that manager and bartender. I wish I got their names, but there was two. They were both young, in their late teens or early 20's. One was a short, skinny, white girl with long straight brown hair and the other was a tall, skinny black girl with short curly hair. The two hostesses payed more attention and were more helpful then the bartender and manager! Service was so bad that I had to contact them directly. There food was flawless though. That's why I gave them two stars. One for the food and the other for the awesome hostesses. This was regarding our visit on Saturday February 15, 2014 approximately 11:15pm. read more

Nikki's is a great neighborhood bar, and has been the place for my friends to meet up before we all go out into town and when we would come back from college. Its got a nice deck in the back, where you can sit and enjoy the weather. The bartenders and quick and friendly. It is the the neighborhood's watering hole. Great people. Great service. read more

Great inexpensive chill spot. Nikki's is a great place to catch a drink pretty much any time. They have a good selection and the drinks are cheap. I have met a lot of good friends there for the first time because everyone is friendly and the drinks are a flowin. The day bartender Jackie provides great service and very easy on the eyes. They also provide a food item if you are hungry. We will be back. read more

Nikki's is an awesome little neighborhood dive, I'm not sure who would take the time to write such a lengthy negative review (with horrible spelling btw "fowl" it's FOUL honey) Not once have I seen "junkies" or creepy people there, everyone there is friendly and fun including all the bartenders my husband and I have met. Not too sure about the crockpot but when we have gone it's been on burger night (tue) and steak night (wed) and it's been wonderful food, maybe a little wait due to a high volume of orders but if that is our only problem, we'll take it!!!! We will definitely come back every week like we have been doing and continue to drink, eat and be merry! Danellie.... try being nice to people and pull the large stick from your ars and enjoy yourself!!! Otherwise don't go back and we will have a blast without you as we have been doing for years! To the Nikki's Ladies.... keep doing a wonderful job, we love you as do all the customers! Thank you for a great time! read more
