My favorite dive bar in the Southeast. Live music before (and hopefully after) COVID-19 with a fun crowd and good prices on drinks.

The history is what makes it. You can catch some awesome shows here. The crowd can be very random.

One of the best bars in town, great history and atmosphere.

Been going to local shows here for years. Love this place.

Great music, both local and touring. Great staff who are friendly amd attentive. There is a cover charge when theres a show, but its well worth it. Good standard beer selection at decent prices, plus some local craft beers at great prices. When theres no live music, theres a touchtunes jukebox, 2 pool tables AND AN AIR HOCKEY TABLE! One of the oldest and BEST music/bar venues around. Check it out!

The place was laid back cool people bands will hangout in the crowd good vibe

Spent a lot of time here over the years! Met my wife here!!!love this place!!!!

Best bar in Bham. Great staff. Chill atmosphere. Great music.

Always dirty. Rude door guys. Drinks are overpriced. Bands are interesting to say the least.

Birmingham institution. I understand there are bigger, more hip venues in the ham but when it comes down to it you got to play the Nick. Seedy, still scary for mainstream visitors, but nothing to fear. As long as you behave like a person you will be treated like a person. Bar staff is correct and welcoming, drinks are very decently priced and the sound guy knows what he is doing. Catch a show, any show, and tickle the underbelly of the ham.

Can see up and coming bands from all over the country. Saw Janes Addiction there back in 1988. Great bartenders. Good people.

Classic live music dive. Shows 7 nights a week. Rap, metal, funk, and everything in between. They have a decent selection of beer too. Always open late. Whats not to love about this place?

John Elrod is a god

Theres something thats awkwardly enjoyable about an old concert venue. The Nick has been the most consistent dive bar experience in America. Ive visited here every so often since 1992 and things just dont change there. Its old, unrefined, rough, a little dark, and a bit too loud, but thats exactly what I expected.Theres not much to the place, limited parking lot, older building, a bit of out-dated decor, and limited seating. But its a dive-bar... no frilly decor or elaborate marquee. But the music is loud, the beer is cold and the people are enthusiastic.

A meet market full of alcoholics and mostly mediocre local bands...

Good drinks, great music, enjoyed myself. Would recommend.

Awesome time like always

Interesting people good music most of the time and a bar that is open all weekend 2pm Friday through 4am Monday morning.

Love the vibe plus literally the best bloody Marys Ive ever had

Greatest small venue in Birmingham.Not Classy, but Classic.

Its a great private club live music and great ppl

Birmingham is full of bars that have this weird upper-end hipster aesthetic. This is not one of them. The drinks are cheap and to the point; the decor is like the bumper of a Grateful Dead fans Jeep; and the music is always rad af. Plus it is open to the ungodly hours of the morning.

Really great venue. Awesome staff.

Traveling the country, one of the best punk bars Ive had the pleasure of sinking into.

Awesome place. Great sound. Great place to catch Dexateens, Bohannons, or Glory Fires.

Pictures of this place should be in the dictionary for dive bar. Not pretentious

Small and very dark. All beer Cold... Lots of old posters. Good place to chill.

Great local rock n roll joint. I have caught lots of great live shows a the Nick. Bands from Jet to many, many local acts.

CBGB of the south. Cold beer, good tunes, cool bartenders. A Birmingham legend. Late night hot spot.

Havent been here in ages but best late night bar around! Great music!

Love this place.... Very Kool place & Lovee those cold beers

Feels a little dirty, but somehow I like this place anyway. Cold beer, good musical acts, and best of all, they stay open pretty much all night until the sun comes up.

An awesome place to hang out

Rock fan, alcohol fan? This is ur place lol. Everytime Ive been its a great time!

Nice and grimy! And I love it

A good eclectic scene...a mainstay in Birmingham!

I go there often.

Great bands. Great staff.

Great sound guy

Another night of great music at the Nick!

We used to go to the Quest. Now we go here.

The best dive bar in America!!!

Nick is a great private club

The place where the cool kids hangout!

Friendly atmosphere

The staff is friendly but the band we came to see never played.

Rocking good time.
