In 2012, bartender-turned-owner Joseph Schultice hung up most of his infamous shorts and trimmed his signature long hair to usher in a new era for the long-time Old City staple.

 

NicksBurgersSince 2012, Schultice changed the name of the Nick's to Nick's Bar and Grille - dropping out the roast beef. While the famous roast beef (and roast pork) is still on the menu, the menu expanded to also include a full line-up of the ground bacon burgers, plus later added an entire smoked BBQ section. The menu also expanded to now include weekend brunch.

Today, Nick’s continues to serve as a laid back and friendly alternative to upscale fine dining restaurants and cocktail bars. The staff are always ready to greet you with a smile and a great story. People come to Nick’s for great conversation, fun times, fresh food and unbeatable value.

By day, the $5.95 lunch special attracts the local business community, tourist families and future entrepreneurs. By night and on weekends, food specials in the dining room and games in the bar attract sports fans, students, locals and long-time regulars. No matter who you are, what you do or what you are wearing, Nick’s has something for everyone.



While the focus has been on friends, good times and unbeatable values, Nick's has won numerous accolades for the food - including being names best burger in Philadelphia on Zagat for their #1 Ground Bacon Burger.

Owners Nicole and Joey Dog are both long-time veterans to Philadelphia and Old City's bar scene. Earlier this year, the duo were officially married after running the bar together for many years. The duo still honor some of the many long-time traditions set forth by the previous owners, like feeding the veterans during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
