Nickel City

If your version of heaven is a dive bar with an Elvira pinball machine and tiki cocktails—because it should be—head to this East 11th Street standout. There, you can order Painkillers based on your desired potency or just say “screw it” and request a full scorpion bowl of their exceptional Zombie. Accompany it all with some classic bar bites like sliders, wings, and Coney dogs from the onsite Delray Cafe. Regardless of which poison you pick, Nickel City has such a genuine, chilled-out atmosphere, you’re guaranteed to come back for seconds.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.
