What players say

Pleasant experience each time I visit Nick's. They have the friendliest staff and the best pricing. It's convenient because there's a parking lot and the environment is chill. I've been coming here for years now, the management is great and they know how to take care of their customers.

★★★★★ Lizzie, Jul 2018

An outstanding pool hall, with many high quality Diamond tables, from barboxes to 9 footers, good food, extraordinarily great prices, and amazingly friendly staff (Mili, Xadrian, and Jessie knew my name the second time I ever visited).

★★★★★ Brian, Jun 2023

Nick's Billiards in Chicago is a top-notch destination for anyone passionate about pool. The quality of the tables is outstanding, with the felt meticulously maintained, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable playing experience every time.

★★★★★ Thomas, Jun 2024

We always have a great time and family fun. The staff is very friendly and attentive. You can't help it but have so much fun. The chicken wings and French fries are so good. The drinks are great! My husband and brother love shooting pool here. The tables are great!
