Food: Tasteless tummy fillers
The Nickel Mine's Pepperoni Pizza, Buffalo Wings, and Garlic Knots are well-liked by some, but the majority of reviews describe an unsettling lack of flavor and overcooked disappointment. No explosive taste is associated with its Pepperoni Pizza or Buffalo Wings. Plus, critiques underline issues with food quality, expressing that their supposedly best dishes lack freshness. Furthermore, the menu doesn’t get any points for being expansive or imaginative, it's more likely to frustrate than entice.

Vibe: Library-like luxury
The ambiance at The Nickel Mine might be its only saving grace. Described as having a chic library feel, the intimately cozy vibe compensates for some of its shortcomings. The variety of alcoholic drinks, specifically whiskey, craft beers, and cocktails, is another bright spot.

Okay Buzz
Has a sports bar vibe, although not a sceney LA hotspot.
Bad For Dates
Excessive noise, loud music can be disturbing for a romantic date experience.
Perks: Pitiful parking, noisy nuisance
The parking situation at The Nickel Mine could frustrate a saint. Metered parking and high-rate lots are a damper on the experience. Additionally, the consistently loud music makes for difficult conversations, ruining the dining experience for many. The lack of diet-friendly options doesn’t help their case either, making the menu incredibly inaccessible to some.

Accommodates large groups, ample space, private rooms, and attentive service.
Okay Outdoor
Big open space with windows, but service can sometimes be lacking.
Hard To Park
Difficult to find parking; meters and lots charge high rates, which frustrates patrons.
