"The Nickel Mine is deeply utilitarian - it provides a place to watch sports in an area where there aren’t many. But that doesn’t mean it can’t also be a solid place to eat and drink. The Happy Hour specials here a great, and the pizzas are pretty good." - kat hong, james montgomery
"Located in West LA, The Nickel Mine became the go-to sports bar in the neighborhood the minute it opened. Yes, it provided a place to watch sports in an area that has very little of them, but the space is also nice and big, the food is solid, and there are plenty of drink specials and even a private event area if you’re rolling deep for the game. Stick to any of their pizzas. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Like its sister joint in the West Valley, the Nickel is most things to most drinkers, including a pizza joint, a brunch spot, a place to dance, and a place to watch the game. Its dark brick-and-wood interior feels refined, even when local post-grads are screaming at the televisions on college football Saturdays, making the Midnight in Manhattan an appropriate choice: polished, but with a whiskey kick." - Vox Creative
"The whiskey is strong at the Nickel Mine, the laid-back Westside bar that also caters to nearby UCLA fans — and don’t forget about the thin pizzas and wings." - Matthew Kang
"The Nickel Mine is an absolutely massive bar on Pico that gets extremely crowded whenever there’s a big game on TV. But at all other times, it’s a surprisingly low-key spot to catch up with friends. They’ve got board games, a huge beer list, and big lounge chairs you can sit in and drink whiskey like you’re on Succession. There’s also an awesome back room that’s ideal for company events, and an extremely serviceable menu of pizza for when you start to get hungry." - brett keating
