"As one of Birmingham’s formative bars and venues, The Nick’s impact on the local nightlife and music scene, especially in the 70s and 80s, is too significant to ignore. Artists including Alabama Shakes, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, and Red Hot Chili Peppers all played here in their earlier days. This dive isn’t for everyone, but the people who get it, get it, and those who don’t can leave. They host live music just about every night, so come prepared with earplugs and a good attitude." - Sarra Sedghi
