History
Established in 1976.
Ever since 1976 when Captain Nick DePetrillo built the timber frame structure standing on 34 Ocean Ave. out of reclaimed material from the old Block Island Inn, the island has always had a place where good music and good times come first. Although the original dirt floor, fireplace and chandelier are long gone, the spirit of the good olé’ days is alive and well at Captain Nick’s which now boasts the island’s biggest and best sound system along with friendly, laid-back service. Over the years thousands of bands have graced the stage at Captain Nick’s and every summer between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, Nick’s brings nothing but the best in live entertainment to Block Island. Whether you find yourself grooving on a Monday at Disco Nite (an island tradition for over 20 years), catching the wave of new talent showcased during the week long Block Island Music Festival (held during the second week of June) or soaking up some rays on the deck Sunday afternoons with the Booze Beggars (Bl
Meet the Manager
Katie S.
Manager
My name is Katie and I like many others came to Block Island for vacation, and basically never left. I loved the laid back, beach party atmosphere where great live music, drinks and food were a 4 minute walk from the beach, at Captain Nick’s. After many years of «playing» at Captain Nick’s, I started bartending there. Soon after that I met my now fiancé there and now we run the bar together.
With any business, everyday we find ourselves learning how we could have done something different or better. Sometimes we are so busy trying to do the ‘right” thing, we end up doing the «wrong» thing. To be honest, running a seasonal business is not an easy task. Why do we do it? Because we love it. Our goal is to provide great entertainment for all ages, in a laid back atmosphere where you can enjoy a cocktail on vacation.
We appreciate you taking your time to review our business.
Thank you for your time.
