With the scattering of new beer-and-burger joints popping up lately, we were surprised at how different Nickeldime is
At a look, Nickeldime already sets itself apart from any other establishments. I believe a fantastic atmosphere is half the battle won in any restaurant and this one nailed it. With their Broadway-style banner and vintage beer retail cellar, it is impossible to miss.
Food has never looked this good
Most places take pride in their main courses, I think Nickeldime should be the proudest of them with their platter. At a steep $42, this is an impressive spread as an appetizer. The stout meatballs had relatively subtle hints of beer, glazed with a beer barbecue sauce. It was tasty and the highlight of this platter.
The beer sriracha candied nuts were one of my favourites too; it is crunchy and almost caramelly, a great side dish for late night beer sessions. The garlic chips are not bad too, delish with the hot crab IPA cheese dip.
Beer elements in every dish
This is one of the dishes that I think captured the beer hints perfectly. The soft and tangy spaghetti is definitely the star of the menu, paired with their flavourful and potent sauce. The beef is particularly special because it has been soaked 24 hours in beer prior to serving, resulting in the beef meeting the beer in a fresh, aromatic combination.
Everybody loves pizza
Their pizza was greeted with much anticipation at the table. I particularly loved how the thin crust was slightly burnt at the edges, leaving a delightful last bite. The salami and ham were nothing special in my opinion. But I found this to be the best pairing for the craft beers.
Nickeldime offers 15 seasonal craft beers. The selection is ever changing because once the beer runs out, a new one will take its place. So to make sure you don’t miss any of their specially brought in craft beers, check back in often!
