Nick's Beer Garden: A Wicker Park Icon Since 1977

Nick's Beer Garden has been a cornerstone of Wicker Park's vibrant nightlife since 1977. Known for our dynamic presence in Chicago's bar scene, we’ve proudly welcomed locals, travelers from across the U.S., and visitors from around the world. At Nick’s, we celebrate the spirit of Chicago—its energy, creativity, and rich beer culture.

Our beer selection highlights the best of local breweries, featuring a wide range of styles including IPAs, lagers, pale ales, pilsners, and ciders. We're committed to keeping our offerings fresh, showcasing the latest flavors and trends in the craft beer community.

Live music is at the heart of our atmosphere. From up-and-coming artists to iconic performances like Nirvana in the '90s, we offer free live music for all to enjoy. Our stage has seen it all, and we continue to be a place where great music and great people come together.

Our talented bartenders craft exceptional cocktails, ensuring that no matter your preference, you’ll find something to savor. Over the years, we've evolved to stay in tune with modern tastes. Our recently renovated beer garden offers more space and a stylish setting to relax, and with two bars—one in the front and another in the back—you’ll always find a spot to enjoy the night.

At Nick's, everyone is welcome. Whether you're here for the beers, the beats, or the community vibe, we’re here to make sure you have an unforgettable experience.
