Old Nick is a mixed hangout east of the gaybourhood, where those who live nearby congregate for beer, chicken wings, and sometimes a bit of bluegrass. Lesbian owned, down to earth, great fries: the Old Nick is a middle-of-the-road, typical pub. Still, there’s something to be said for a place where you feel at home, and I’m there, along with other writers, and comedians from the ad lib theatre across the street, at least once a week.
