Nickel City

Nickel City is one of the best bars in East Austin. It can be described as lively, unpretentious and perfect for “losing a whole day (or night). The dive-style bar has been preserved to honor the feel of the old dive bar that once occupied the space, dating back to 1934. Nickel City is more than just a bar—it’s a genuinely local hangout where the bartenders take their craft seriously, creating quality drinks without pretension. And here’s another thing that makes the bar truly unique. Every October they transform into the Simpson’s themed bar Moe’s Tavern!
