Awesome local pub! – The Nickel is a great place to hang out and enjoy a cold one. The food is excellent and the fries are to die for. We live in Virginia now, and always look forward to the Wooden Nickel when we're in town.

NOT recommended.. – Where to begin.. well, let's see, how about "Drew", the rude and short-tempered bartender/manager? This guy clearly has a lot to learn about professional bartending. The food? Well for pub grub, it's passable, but who wants to eat amongst a crowd of rowdy bikers and unstable barkeeps? The drinks? Just compare their prices with ANY other establishment. Just because it's the only pub in town, doesn't mean it has to gouge it's customers. I understand the WN was once a great little pub - too bad it's best day... read more

A Public House – One the many benefits (or drawbacks) of the Internet is the anonymity it affords its users. Anyone with an axe to grind can easily hijack a website to orchestrate personal attacks on someone they feel slighted by. This is nothing new, of course. I am the aforementioned "Drew" you see mentioned in the one star reviews posted over the last 5 days. Judging by the timing of these reviews, I can guarantee you these originate from the same person. You'll notice the reviews go to great lengths to detail what a crap... read more

Great local bar – They serve high quality food for bar food, especially local veggies in season! The seating is comfortable and flexible. If you frequent more than twice the staff make an effort to know your name and what you drink. in response to previous reviews: if you like to go to bars and get wasted and obnoxious don't expect the staff to let you make others miserable. If you get kicked out of the WNP you deserve it!

Since we only have one, I'm glad it's my favorite bar – Lucky for me my favorite bar is just two miles away. I would be more than willing to drive much further, but I don't have to. I often go to the Nickel with my sister and we always feel safe here. It's nice to know that the bartenders are watching out for the customers. It's more than just a place to have your favorite drink. I have several friends and a husband who don't drink and they are always willing to join me for a meal or a coke. I think that alone says a lot abo... read more

Great place for food, drinks, and friends! – My husband and I have lived in Hillsborough for 5 years. The Nickel is always our favorite place to go for dinner and drinks. The bar tenders are always friendly and helpful. Ted, Drew, & Jessica always know what we want to drink. There are always familiar faces in there and we have made lots of new friends there. It has a great atmosphere since it is a small town bar. The food is always great! Tuesdays are definitely popular with Wing night (Buy 6 get 6 free!) I highly recommend ... read more

Excellent Place To Go! – This is the epitome of what a great small town pub should be - bartenders that know your name, enjoy what they do, and provide a great atmosphere to everyone. The food is great too! I appreciate that the barstaff eliminates those customers that are harassing others and causing disruption - they have no place in our town! Thanks!

It USED to be a decent pub.. – This once-quaint, small town pub was at one time friendly, welcoming and just a nice place to have a beer and meet friends. No more. After loosing there once- great staff (original owner became paraplegic after car wreck, and had to sell), remaining owner, Matt, hired an angry, inexperienced "gentleman" to man the bar. Enter the notorious "Drew". Hardly a true bartender, this guy not only lacks any appreciation of how to treat tavern customers (ie. respectfully, and with good humor), he seeming... read more

The worst treatment I've ever had at a restaurant – I agree with the previous two reviewers. The staff, in particular "Drew", was very rude and disrespectful when I last visited. I was told to leave the establishment following some personal threats and false accusations from another person at the bar, which were completely unfounded. Drew never consulted with me or bothered to ask for my view or opinion. The Wooden Nickel serves a needed role as a local watering hole, and can provide a great community atmosphere, but as conf... read more
