We went after UCLA graduation, the service was average. The pizza was really good and my bother got the tacos, I had a bite of those and those were good too. It was pretty quiet, but it is a bar and was also 1 o clock. Overall pretty good, thanks for the pizza! read more

Great place to watch a game. Drinks are strong but not overwhelming, bartenders are fun and attentive, and the selection of beer and spirits is strong. Fun bar read more

All I got to say is Jack is amazing!!!! My friend and I came on a busy game night and he was the most accommodating, attentive and kind person. Great service will be back just because of him!! read more

I met some friends here who come regularly. Since I don't go to bars and clubs, it's a first visit for me. They ordered their drinks and we shared spinach artichoke dip with chips and fried chicken basket with sweet potato fries. I also ordered a slice of supreme pizza. I was really surprised how big the food servings were. There's 5 of us but we didn't even finished the dip nor the fries. And they're surprisingly good too. This bar is big in size and I was told by friends that it gets pretty packed. There's also a hidden bar behind the bookshelves but at the time of our visit, it's being renovated so something to check out next time. There's also a surprise waiting for everyone at the restrooms but I don't want to spoil the reveal. Just pay attention to the doors for both men and women. It'll bring a smile to your face about its special meaning. read more

The Nickel Mine - Happy hour menu - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great spot for college kids and anyone whose main objective is watching sports on uncomfortable seats very loudly and maybe smell the neighbors bad cologne. The food is classic dive bar level edible, forgettable, and not winning any awards. It gets very loud, and the crowd quality can be a bit of a wild card depending on the night or the game. Not ideal for groups since reservations aren't really a thing. Once you place your first order, the servers tend to disappear like they're part of the entertainment and reordering becomes a competitive sport of its own. Skip the cocktails unless surprises are your thing, but the beer selection is solid and dependable. read more

Had a great time watching the Dodgers World Series game here! Had to make sure to get in early as seating/bar was limited but luckily we were able to snag two seats at the bar! The ambiance was great and the place fills up quickly which was exactly what I wanted for October Baseball. The bar staff was quick and nice enough, and they were hustling! Didn't try the food but I'm sure we'll be back for a game 7 ;) read more

Food is great, service is hit or miss, really convenient location. Definitely get the pepperoni pizza. Depending on who is pouring the beers, you may be getting shorted. read more

The Nickel Mine - Pizza slice at Nickel bar! Wow! Best in town! Ever! - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I noticed this sports bar on my commute one day and absolutely loved it from the outside. Open window concept with plenty of tv's that were visible from the outside playing football. Say less. Parking was easy and convenient in the back with a few meter spaces surrounding the block as well. I have been here mainly during the day/happy hour and don't know what the vibe is at night, but service was quick. Security at the front checked ID. We tried their loaded tots and sliders and were def happy about our order. The girl helping us was nice. There is also a hidden private room in the back thru their library that also has a tv and seating. Each time I have come, I have enjoyed, but I also think that has alot to do with the time I am there. I don't need the rowdy. Overall this place as others have said isn't near anything. It seems to be a local spot for many of the apartments in the area. But it's a cool spot for HH, to enjoy sports and even play some of their games (although they can def use an upgrade as many boxes are missing parts). read more

The female bartender that is dating the owner is horrible. As a female and seeing all male bartenders i thought she would be more accommodating but I was so wrong. She was the worst female bartender I have ever met. Photos to be attracted. To add....it started because instead of closing out we decided to keep it open and after that she was ignoring us. I am only guessing that is why she was horrible and I mean horrible. We changed our minds but we still stayed and payed. Because of her I will never go back and I have a picture of her and I will let my friends know not to go when she is there read more

love my neighborhood sports bar, but girl... fix your tables! drinks be sliding off as soon as they're put down! servers don't care anything past getting your order physically to the table lmao but maybe that's part of its charm? food is decent being bar food. pizza is always safe. this place could be so much more enjoyable & iconic, but... does it need to be? lol read more

My drink was decent, it was a whiskey sour but it tasted more sour than alcohol. Service was spotty, bartender took my order and didn't check back in at any other time. Another bartender, a woman came and greeted me tho and she wasn't even serving me! The owner is also not the friendliest or sociable.... Didn't greet me or spark conversation as do most hosts. I at least expected him to make a round greeting guests but not even that. The wings were good tho! Hospitality today could've been better. read more

The Nickel Mine - Wings and whiskey sour - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have a weekly appointment around this area and I sometimes arrive too early. What else to do but have a quick drink? They have happy hour Monday -Friday from 3-7pm so it's perfect! The bartenders are super friendly and since they open at 3pm it rarely gets packed until around 6pm. The happy hour cheeseburger is more like the side of two sliders out together but it is quite tasty! The fries are yummy but stay away from the sauce it comes with. YUCK! Otherwise great place to have a quick drink and snacks. read more

We love nickel mine! Such a diverse venue. Game days/nights, whiskey, tequila, live music/karaoke/game nights.

I self sat at the bar and waited a good 15-20 minutes before someone approached me to take my order, to keep tab open, they keep your card, I asked the bartender about the stamps for yelp check in( treat o' clock event) but she was also unaware and clueless. So I just proceeded to order something and checked in: I ordered garlic fries and they were delicious. I really enjoyed each dipping sauce it came with: ranch, ketchup and thousand island? I also had the Hefeweizen beer and that was also delicious. Prices were reasonable and if you check in, you let them know and you can get a "fun shot" I had one and it was really good. I would come back here if I was near the area for a quick bite and drink. read more

Great spot for watching a game. True sports bars are surprisingly tough to find in LA, but this one hits the mark. I sat at the bar and the service was friendly, attentive, and on top of things. The menu is classic bar fare, but everything was prepared well and came out hot. The real standout is the New York-style pizza. Their reputation for it is well earned -- thin crust, good chew, and just the right amount of fold. Definitely a place I'd come back to for a game day. read more

Great drinks, great service. A little loud with music. Very unbalanced with loudness. Happy hour snacks were nicely priced and drinks well priced too. read more

Such a fun bar! Came here for happy hour with a group of girlfriends. It's a large bar that has multiple options for seating. We were able to catch their happy hour menu which was great since there were food and drinks combos as well as drinks for 10 dollars. We ordered the pizza slices which were such a great price and definitely reminded me of New York style pizza. Everything was reasonably priced and delicious. Service was great and our waitress was super nice! She made sure we were taken care of even as the bar got busier due to a game playing. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Extremely loud, I understand that it's a sports bar. But it was almost to the point of painful, the food was totally okay for a bar menu, but the ambience wasn't the greatest. read more

I came here for happy hour last Friday. It was underneath my nose for the longest time. Right across from the street from the Starbucks I frequent. The bar was very spacious. We sat in the back by the bookshelf. It was very aesthetically pleasing. I ordered the 10 to 1 Mai Tai. It was strong! Definitely did what it needed to do. For food, we ordered buffalo & garlic parmesan wings, french fries, fried mushrooms, & nachos. Everything was pretty tasty, with the exception of the shrooms, I'm not a fan of those. I think my colleagues & I may have found our new spot for happy hour. We'll definitely be back. read more

Come here a few times but let's just cut to it 1) pretzel super underwhelming 2) bbq chicken wings also meh 3) buffalo and garlic parm wings are very flavorful and good 4) fries are good too.. Service is AMAZING! Drinks are good, just overall a good local sports bar to come on the west side. read more

Great service! Takes song requests for $20. Extremely energetic vibes. I'd recomend this place if you also need to be near the beach and the library. read more

The Nickel Mine - Outside lighting - Sports Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Someone at this place has an extremely loud car, the engine sounds like WWIII is about to go down, and he wakes the ENTIRE neighborhood up almost every night between 1-3 AM. The lack of self-awareness is insane. When asked to please park somewhere else (far away!) so they don't jolt us awake, there was no change. This person is behaving like an absolute selfish jerk. We are JOLTED awake every night he works. I hope they get evicted. The manager and bartender are also unfriendly even though they see us walking by and know we live around there. Worst place in Sawtelle by far. read more

Always thought this was some of the best pizza in LA. Good, east coast style pizza can be hard to find on the west coast, but nickel min always delivered! read more

Came here during happy hour on a Friday night. This was my 4th time here. I had been through ups and downs haha. I usually always get the nacho fries and/or sweet chili wings. The 2 times I got the wings, they were soooo over cooked, it was basically inedible. But could never go wrong with the nacho fries. This time, our server was Dominique. She was literally, THHHEEEE BEST person to ever help me out. Her personality was amazing, super helpful when needed, and she was all around great. I hope to get her every time I go. The parking: there's meters along the sides. Sometimes it's crowded but we were able to find a quick spot. They usually play playoff games and fights! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning to watch the USC game. They had big screens and the sound on so that was all good. I called the day before to confirm bottomless and was told there was for $30. However when we came, they said they don't do it. Fine. We ordered a few things for food and it was just ok. Wouldn't recommend. Service was a little slow, especially for an early Saturday without too many people. When we were getting ready to settle our tab, there were extra items on there and we let the waitress know. Instead of figuring it out she gave us an attitude and told us to figure it out ourselves. Also, when we were individually paying, they didn't let us know gratuity was included and asked us to pay an additional gratuity. This seems like pretty shady business. Wouldn't come back here again. read more

I've driven by this place a million times and never stopped in. Finally went to grub while watching a basketball game. The chicken parmigiana hero was tasty with a side salad. Huge screens to watch games, the food is good overall but not amazing. So if you're a foodie, it's not going to impress you. The menu has a wide variety so that's nice. It's a bit pricey for what it is (but that's LA now anyway) and it is especially busy during big games -- but it's a lively place to check out. read more

Very spacious bar. Waitresses are very attentive not a fan of their Check_in Cocktail. But it is a free drink. The bartender does have a good pour. They have card and boards games. A good time The have a food and a full bar. read more

Love this spot. They have great apps and good drinks. They have games you can grab to play too. Great place for watching games or happy hour (can't remember what the happy hour is though). They have open windows too which is lovely read more

As Nickleback says "This is how you remind me Of what I really am, This is how you remind me Of what I really am!" Sports paradise, TVs galore, extended menu, good pizza, brews on tap and bottles on deck, local vibes, table games to keep you entertained, and closet monsters you fall for. So many themes that remind me of who I really am. Nicklemine is a great West LA designation to visit for some fun and games. read more

Cool spot in Santa Monica with decent food and good Happy Hour specials. At happy hour, you can get a beer and a slice of pizza for $8. The pizza was solid, especially for the price. I definitely recommend the garlic parmesan wings! Crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. They were tossed in fresh garlic and grated parmesan. Cool decor, and loaded with TVs for football season. One of the few really good sports bars in the area. If you are going to watch the games, get their early, this place was packed as soon as it opened. read more

This past weekend, we were looking for a place that shows boxing and came across this spot. I was really shocked at how spacious and full this place was. They had plenty of sitting and tv's. We had just some wings and a drink, but the wings were really good. They also had a dj, but we didn't get to stay, but i will be back for sure!! read more

Came for a happy hour. They have some cocktails on happy hour menu. Can order from bar and there is table service. Food is good for bar food: we shared fries tenders pizza and nachos. The ambiance is dark and comfortable with soft lighting and plush seating available. It can get loud with games. Parking is available in a paid lot but the machines weren't working the day I was there. Street parking is also available (read the signs) and there's also metered street parking. read more

I've passed by this place many times and saw that they have these giant TVs that you can see off the street. My girlfriend and I went for a visit and as I checked in, they offered these "fun shots". It was basically a Cosmo in a really pretty glass. After that delightful shot, we had two gin and tonics and they were good. Those also came in nice glasses. We had already eaten, but saw the lineup for appetizers and are looking forward to coming back to do the whole thing over again, The bartenders looked after us well. The decor was really cool. On one side was a library of books and some other trinkets sitting around the shelves. I went to the restroom where I had a laugh at the pictures they had inside. I'm not gonna post those so if you know what I'm talking about good, if not, then you definitely need to come out for a fun night at the Mine. read more

This is a great divey sports bar! I came here just to kill about 40 mins, and it great! There is definitely enough street parking, but I did come at 1 pm on a Saturday. They had a few very large screens, that at the time were playing golf and soccer. The bathrooms are to the right of the bar and super clean. I ended up getting two beers and the bartenders were friendly. I would definitely come back, if I'm in the area! read more
