Nip's Park Avenue Saloon - Outside Nip's - Chicken Wings Near Me - Binghamton, New York

Ordered take out. The cajun dry rub wings here are excellent, and give that 2 of my favorite dry rub wing places closed recently, this is a big deal for me. The fries appear fresh cut, but could use a bit more seasoning. The breaded mushrooms were solid. As I was just picking food up, I can't comment on the 'sit down' vibe. It feels pretty 'local', but friendly enough. The bartender was nice, fast, and efficient. Parking was a little tight, but there seems to be enough street parking in the area. Definitely plan to order the wings again, and might try a burger, because joints like this tend to do them right. read more

Food is great, best wings, burgers and fries. Service is slow, so don't be in a hurry or do takeout read more

Pizza, wings amazingly delicious. Good to be back Binghamton quality bar foods again! read more

Cute little neighborhood bar. Came in on a recommendation and am questioning WHY HAVENT I BEEN HERE BEFORE???? Nice atmosphere, bartender was super friendly and the wings were fantastic. I had the Old Yeller (honey mustard with big chunks of fresh garlic) and peanut butter, hubby had Godfather (Italian parm) and Greek. All cooked perfectly, huge, and delicious. The flavor choices were extensive - over 40 different kinds. Highly recommend stopping in!!!! read more

Was not expecting a pound of shrimp, also the shrimp was awesome!!.Not overcooked ,fries were good also!Prices are reasonable, bartender friendly,funny , sarcastic every damn thing your looking for in a bartender!!! read more

When I lived in Binghamton, this was the place to go. My home was just up the road, Great memories, even 40 years later. Had a lot of fun there!! Now im out in the boondocks! But have good memories!!! read more

A ok place.. that being said I'm not going to wait a half hour for a drink, or an hour for One bartender to take an order and ignore a patron who tips 25 percent. Not going back anytime soon read more

Best wings this side of Buffalo! Service is friendly and fast. Very reasonably priced drinks and a nice selection of beer! Love the gold thunder wings. Very crispy and the sauce is tangy and delicious! Will definitely return! read more

Never disappoints. Love their medium garlic wings and of course the cold beer. Highly recommend.

9:00 PM, relatively busy week night. 1 bartender stocking the bar, cleaning so very slow service. Ordered drinks, I was given a pint glass with my mixed drink in it. Wasn't asked if I wanted a double, which is the norm in a pint glass. It was mostly all mixer and the bartender took forever to respond when I wanted the second shot for the drink. Unfortunately we left without trying the wings I hear so much about. read more

Some of the best wings in the area with the best sauce selection hands down. Nips is cash only which is a shame given how easy and cheap it has become to support card purchases in 2019. Other than that there is little I can fault them for. Their wings always come out crisp and fresh with the perfect amount of sauce. I regularly order from Nips when I'm in the area and always enjoy what I receive. read more

Great low-key bar that serves excellent wings. The Sportmans Club used to be our favorite wing joint but since they burned down & didn't come back, we searched for alternatives; this placed filled those shoes nicely. read more

Nip's Park Avenue Saloon - chicken wings and celery - Chicken Wings Near Me - Binghamton, New York

I have been going to nips since I was a child with my dad because it was his favorite place to gets wings. They are the only place to get wings around binghamton, or anywhere for that matter. They have the largest wing sauce menu I have ever seen and they all taste delicious. not to mention the size of the wings, they are huge and very tasty, seeing as they are "fresh never frozen". no where compares to wings and service they provide. read more

If you like wings, cheap beers, and awesome dive bars...this is definitely a place you have to check out. There isn't a lot of room for huge crowds it will fill up on cheap wing nights (which used to be Sunday and Wednesday night...I haven't been there in a long time). They have a ton of wing flavors and every one I tried was good. Their draft beer is very reasonable priced, but they don't have a huge selection. They always had the same 2 or 3 bar tenders, so if you go on a somewhat regular basis they get to know you pretty quickly. If you go on an off night, you're likely to see somewhere between 3 and 10 other people in there...almost guaranteed to be locals. I don't recall ever seeing or feeling any real sketchiness in there (ie - no menacing looks, no fights, no crack heads). So, even though the bar may look a little seedy, you're pretty much assured a good time. They also have karaoke nights and the occasional venison roast/ buffet. I have to note: For a period of time, their sign out front read "Your wife called, she said to stop in." I always got a kick out of that. read more

Uhhh duh, easily one of the best cheap wings in upstate new york. If you live in Binghamton or go there for school and haven't had the wings at Nips...then all I gotta say is...wtf are you doing with your life? BBQ? HONEY MUSTARD? ATOMIC? NUCLEAR? I've had them all and they are all good. I usually order for pick-up. Price: 5/5 Location and people at bar: LMAO...weird is an understatement. WINGS: 5/5 read more

Went for wings with a friend on a Sunday trivia night. Not my scene but the wings and jalapeño poppers were delicious. :)

Awful all they have is takeout and the wings were soggy all drums no flats and blue cheese sour ah man so disappointed

Great, crispy (and greasy) wings with dozens of unique sauces plus all the regulars

Not a pub or a club. A bar. A phenomenal bar with some of the best wings in upstate New York. Seriously -the wings are on par with Anchor Bar (Buffalo) or Swallows (Syracuse). I no longer live in Binghamton but try to stop in whenever I'm in town! read more

Great wings for sure! I got the garlic / parm flavor and my hubby got their house wing "BoomBoom". The wings were crispy and very good. Not to overpowering in hotness, yet just enough to make you want to take another bite. The blue cheese is thick and fresh. I believe they make it themselves. Service was real good (as good as you get in a dive bar). I'd get wings from here again for sure. Bring cash because they don't take credit cards. They do have an ATM inside the bar but I was told some days it works and some days it doesn't. Not a bad place at all to sit back and have wings and a beer. read more

Wings were on point. Just don't expect them to come quick. I mean it is wing night so they're obviously busy. Nice unassuming bar. Good service and good selection. read more

Good lord... don't go here looking for attractive waitresses. Never seen a bartender here under 60. End of story. Waitress rating 1/5

This review pertains ONLY to Nip's bar food... If you are a fanatic for chicken wings, this is THE place to chow down. They have upwards of twenty varieties and the cooks know the difference between done, crispy and extra-crispy. They tend to be quite frugal when it comes to the celery that comes with the wings, however. If you're not a fan of bleu cheese, they'll let you substitute ranch dressing, if that's your thing. The weekly specials (of which there are three choices) are economically a very good deal. Every special comes with your choice of one of the following: macaroni salad, potato salad, cole slaw, or fresh-cut fries. Some of the cooks do not seem to know how to get the fresh-cut fries crisp though. Sometimes they come out of the kitchen limp, soggy, and drenched in cooking oil. Other times, they are delightfully cooked and tasty. One of Nip's biggest drawbacks is what I believe to be sub-par rolls for their burgers and sandwiches. I have never once had a sandwich roll that did not begin to fall apart and crumble to pieces after your first or second bite. The exterior of the rolls is not at all what is needed for good bar food. Many of the meats used in the sandwiches are highly processed lunch meats. But, for $5.00... read more

Did they get a new cook? Wings used to be fantastic. Last 2 recent Orders have been terrible... all dried out. Last order of Cheese Sticks came with a container of something red and hard... but it was certainly wasn't marinara sauce! I've also been charged 3 different prices the last 3 times I've been in for the same food. I ordered and paid for an extra bleu cheese with my wings (because they don't give you enough) and I only got the one smaill container. They'll get once more chance, then I'll move on. ATTENTION TO DETAIL PLEASE. It's not that hard... read more

A clean, small bar that is probably great on a weekend night. We order food for takeout, though. Their pizza is a phenomenal, well-seasoned 8-slice deep dish for half the price of similar pies at higher end restaurants. Wings to die for, with dozens of flavors. Always crispy, never swimming in grease. Highly recommend! read more

i've been going to nips since the late 90's. i'd go in there for food before i was even old enough to drive. as far as i'm concerned, there are many good places to go around here for wings, but nip's is THE place to go. i have no idea how The Union won wingfest last year, did Nip's even participate? i usually get their hot wings. the sauce isn't very hot, but it's a very flavorful buffalo sauce and they do offer other sauces that have more heat. i think i tried the suicidal once and they were pretty hard for me to eat, and i've also had the kamikaze which are spicy but not a typical buffalo sauce, they are also very good. the Country Sweet wings are amazing, it's a very sweet sauce/glaze that comes from rochester with lots of pepper flakes in it. the sweet and tangy wings are another one of my go-to flavors, it's actually cattleman's gold, which is what most places around here use as their honey mustard sauce. and they have peanut butter wings too, served with a side of marshmallow fluff (at least they're supposed to be, a few times they gave me bleu cheese). i haven't had much of their other foods. i've had their chilli once, which they put out during the day for lunch, and i've had their sandwiches a couple times. the sandwiches are good but i wasn't a fan of the fresh cut fries, few places ever get them right in my opinion. i believe i've also had motz sticks from them before and those were also good. as far as ambiance and service, they redid the inside a couple years ago and it's much brighter in there now and it feels kinda weird to me. it cleaned the place up a bit but it just seems off to me. it's kind of a mixed crowd there too, i'll run into neighbors, construction workers, college kids, and people i used to go to high school with. that being said, that's not really the crowd i like to hang out with, so i usually don't drink there (even though their yuengling tastes better than any bar around here, i dunno how they do it) and i usually do takeout. as for service, they have some nice bar tenders but at times they can be inattentive. one bartender they used to have there would usually give my friends and i a lot of attitude when we went on wing night. being broke high school kids at the time we went to wing night for the deal, and then we get there and we are told we have to order drinks with our wings. i like water over soda, so i was pretty bummed i couldn't get water. i ordered iced tea once. they keep their tea in a jar and i guess they didn't clean the jar good enough because it tastes like pickles! i'll conclude this review with my gripe about the wings. they have so many great flavors that i'd like to get a few different kinds but i don't want a dozen of each. when i would eat there they would say that they don't do half dozens on wing nights (although it depends on who you get, because one bartender let me do it a couple times). i feel like i've been there on non-wing nights and they also told me they didn't do half dozens, but i could be mistaken. one time on the phone i tried to order a dozen and a half to go and they said they only do it if it's the same flavor because they don't want to use a whole separate container for only 6 wings. to me that seems pretty lame. they could easily charge an extra 50 cents to order a half dozen and that will cover the cost of the container. when i get my wings to go i order them extra crispy, i don't have to do that when i get them at the bar for some reason. sometimes they do it and they are amazing but other times they don't cook them as crisp as i'd like. so overall, this place has great wings, but make sure you know how to order them. and depending on your crowd this is can be a good place to drink with good prices oh yeah, one thing i should mention, come here prepared! they don't take cards at the bar but they do have an ATM, this place is cash only! read more

Wings are out of this world. My favorite is the honey garlic. Also they only accept cash.

Had a long trip back to NJ from Buffalo, NY and didn't have time to stop at my favorite Buffalo chicken wing institutions. Googled "best wings in Binghamton" as it was the half way point on my road trip... damn glad I did! Nips is a few minutes off of Rt. 17 but well worth the detour. Over (40) variety of wings to order from classic hot, parm garlic, bourbon and even a peanut butter "dessert" wing that includes fluff dipping sauce. Another (40) + sauces to try as well. If the wings are not enough the pizza and hand cut fries are made fresh each day. To wash it all down they have daily drink specials such as the $1.75 Genny's the Saturday afternoon I was there. As "out of towners" we were not only impressed by Mike who owns the place and took the time to check in on our party but also the locals at the bar who said "pull up a bar stool...we don't bite". So if you are ever on that long stretch of Rt. 17 or just a local then head over to Nips as its the real deal! read more

Went here for wings on one of their wing nights. Bartender had a serious attitude with my friends and I as we were placing the order and was cursing like a sailor. She told us to expect a 40 minute wait for our wings; no big deal. We watched three other tables that arrived after us receive their wings before we got ours after an hour and a half of waiting. The wings were delicious but the staff is not something I will ever be encountering again. read more

Music is way too loud for it being a small dive bar. Like going there where they is no love bands where it's actually not blowing my ear drums out. Also live near and sucks when it's a week night and you can hear music from my house. And bartenders are horrible. read more

i have had high hopes for nips for a while. i went this evening to try for myself but never got in. nips is not wheelchair accessible therefore they did not get my business but did earn a 1 star for not being accessible. poor decision. it wouldn't take much to make front door accessible. read more
