Nickleby’s Round bar

Went on a Saturday for the brunch menu. The service was great (Thanks Carly), the place was clean. We tried the Tato skins that were very good. I have the South Western Quesadilla which was excellent. We plan on going back and try some of the other items on the menu. Would recommend.

Staff is awesome!!! Food was spot on! They had an Autumn Sangria that was delicious!!! The chicken salad was fresh and the burger was great! Great beer selection too! Every time we go they have a wide variety of craft beers on tap

My husband and I visited Nickleby’s one Saturday afternoon for a burger & beer. My husband had their breakfast potatoes skins that where so over cooked & hard, you couldn’t eat them, burnt and tasteless. I ordered a hamburger with the special sauce and chips. The burger was good and the bun was cold, like it just came out of the freezer. I have always enjoyed the homemade chips, crunchy with salt very yummy. The ones I had where like left over from the nite before. I could not believe that a restaurant I had enjoyed so many times before could serve food like this so very, very disappointing. I do not believe I will visit again to order food. Beers are always good.

Went in for happy hour Friday, nice little spot. Overly the bar wasn’t as crowded as I like but I got the buffalo chicken dip and chips. It was a little dry, my friend got the fried provolone cheese which was good. I also got a miller lite and pump king beer. Happy hour prices are good Miller lite 2 bucks and chips and dip 4.50. But the pump king beer was 7 bucks.

Wonderful specials for happy hour, bar food menu and good dinner menu. Also a good brunch selection including breakfast potato skins lol. The burgers are tasty, the hot dogs are good — macaroni and cheese I would pass on — as I would the salsa (not spicy and a corn black bean mix) — odd. The buffalo chicken skins are off the chain though! (Like I said we eat a lot of bar food here).
The desserts change daily — Kit Kat cheesecake is good but not New York style baked — more like a pudding style — while the pumpkin one in the fall had a better consistency I would ask if you want true cheesecake taste.

Atmosphere is strange. I spent most of my meal, which I’m pretty sure came from Taco Bell, being screamed at from 2′ away by a 50+ divorcee. Food was marginal at best. Service was pleasant but mostly absent. Beer selection above average.
I’ve never seen so many shouting retirees before. Definitely unsettling, and just obnoxious in general.

While the bartender staff did not know their best-​selling items or favorites the quality of the food and the quality of the service was excellent however I was there at 2:30 PM on a Monday doing some work while my family was at the movies I had the fried bologna sandwich which was amazing, be sure to have it cut thin and get the onions on the side. The music was good but about every third song it would stop playing and then switch to a different channel which was odd and mentally annoying.

The place is clean, nice decorations and seating I just wasn’t crazy about what I ordered. Service was excellent but I wouldn’t suggest the steak tacos. We had the stuffed zucchini appetizer which I would get again. The rest of my party liked their food I just wasn’t crazy about what I got like I said, but would try again especially for brunch

Came here today for early dinner before a concert. Had the fish fry. It was very good. The piece of grouper was huge and the beer batter coating was nice and crunchy. A real revelation was the slaw with gorganzola. I could have eaten a gallon. Delish!

Stopped at Nickelby’s with a party of 6 for a late dinner last Saturday night. We were seated immediately even though the place was transitioning into «bar mode». Our server was quick, fun, and spot on. Half of us ordered burgers, the other half ordered tacos — all were satisfied. They have awesome appetizer and beer menus so I definitely plan on hitting a happy hour at the round bar in the near future!

Popped in for an early Saturday afternoon lunch. It might have even been before noon, I forget. But Nickleby’s had their lunch menu up and running. I had (tears) some of the most (puts hand over heart) DELICIOUS wings ever here. They were smothered in the mysterious white barbecue sauce that is all the rage now. It’s like the absinthe of barbecue sauces. All the cool bohemians are doing it. Of course great location, great décor. That’s par for the course in DTW nowadays. I hoist this gnawed off chicken bone and wish you years of success, Nickleby’s!

I REALLY wanted to love this place. Let’s face it… the interior has great ambiance, the location is good…
I’ve tried it multiple times (at least 5). Ordered food each time. The menu SEEMS like it would be interesting. The resulting order is usually… blah. It’s not horrible, but certainly not better than OK. Really. boring.
I’m TRULY disappointed that I am not in love with this place. It has potential. The menu kills it. Beer selection is OK. Bartenders usually friendly. Like I said. I really wanted to love this place. That’s why I kept giving it a chance. Oh well.

So, with the somewhat limited, and redundant choices DTW has to offer, Nickleby’s isn’t too shabby. I have had 2 meals here. The first, the Lemon Chicken. Chicken was great, moist, and the sauce met it’s description. But, I asked if the green beans were fresh? «Yes they are fresh». No, they were frozen. At least not canned! Hahahaha!
Anyway. Second trip. Buffalo chicken dip. I requested to be served with pitas vs. tortilla chips. Pitas… awesome. Very much like another fine pub in DTW. But the dip, it was just ok. Not much taste, and it hardened very quickly. Couldn’t taste any chicken.
My friends salad looked really good. The chopped Romaine. I will definetly go back to try more menus items. With a little tweeking, this place will have a great menu.

Nickleby’s is an interesting place to while away a few hours in a cozy bar on the main drag in Willoughby. The interior is inviting and there are tons of places to sit ‘Round’ the bar.
They have an eclectic micro brew selection; I personally liked the Kentucky Bourbon Ale on draught, aged in spent bourbon casks. Their food is interesting too, I tried the steak salad, it came prepared in a way I haven’t had it before– with sautéed onions on top of the iceberg lettuce.

Food was hot and fast. Just had apps. They have problems with their guiness taps though. They are new (er) and I think that they will be a great addition to the Willoughby bar/​restaurant scene. I guarantee I will go there again!

The beau and I were visiting from out of town and we had a great experience here! Many of the patrons of this establishment were easy-​going and the service was great.
We hopped to another bar early in the evening, but we enjoyed it so much (the drink selection was also great for the price) that we came back!
Restrooms were clean and there was never a line for the use of them.
