@JaumePrimeroApril 18, 2014A hidden gem in Indy. When you walk in, the place smells like pipe tobacco and it seems like you've travelled back in time. Really cool joint.Upvoted 4 days ago
T ManAugust 25, 2019Good selection of cigars. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of comfortable of seating. Old school with red leather and over stuffed couches in the many seating areas. Well worth a visit.
Catrina SmytheJuly 22, 2017This place remains the same, in a good way. Love he bar, music, smell of cigars & classic dirty martini. Great bartenders as well.
David SchwartzSeptember 24, 2014Be careful or you might just walk right by this hidden gem located in the basement. Plenty of choices, from cigars to cocktails. The staff will help guide you.
Jake SmithMay 5, 2013The Smith & Wesson is the house White Russian. Try it, and then try to act as cool as the vibe in this place. Probably isn't possible though, this is the coolest bar for miles.
ArmandNovember 28, 2012Very nice place in an excellent location. Decent selection of well priced cigars. Great mixed drink choices. Check your coat!
Drink scotch or a martini. Smoke a cigar. Grab a couch and take a stroll by Lincoln's portrait. If only they changed the music to some jazz late at night it would be perfect.- Lauren WeatherallApril 2, 2012One of downtown Indy's hidden gems. It's like walking into a 1920s lounge. Grab a couch and a strong cocktail. You have to try their stuffed olives!
- Atmosphere & service is top notch. A must visit for locals and visitors.
Mary Kay HardcastleApril 19, 2013smoke filled but excellent cocktails. I was expecting Dean Martin to walk over at any minute. This place is a classic.
Jason KusnerNovember 15, 2011great atmosphere, very relaxing. sit at the bar and enjoy the portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
Best bar in Indianapolis. Period. Be sure to say hi to me at the end of the bar!
Chris JamesMarch 27, 2013I would drive from Chicago to enjoy a cigar, downtown run, burger at Kilroy's...not bad nap-town- Ask for a drink when you find the seat this photo was taken.
Justin FitzpatrickSeptember 4, 2011I come to this place mainly for the Luxor. It's an amazing Martini. You gotta try it.
Gregory GoodinNovember 30, 2010Couches are comfortable and the lighting relaxing. Perfect place to start a night out on the town.
- Steve AllieApril 23, 2010Cigars are a little dry...and yes, I've tried most of them at different times. Bring your own...they are cool with that!
martinis are always good, a lil pricey and expect to have a cloud of smoke follow you when you leave.
Reid ContiSeptember 26, 2010Bunch of douchebags who turned away a 30+ person wedding party (their only business at 1am Saturday night) for the sake of a ghetto $5 cover charge. Hope these Econ majors enjoy the lack of business!
Don't be a douche ( like Reid )and treat people with respect, I promise Nicky's staff will treat you right.
April DuncansonNovember 28, 2009Ask the server to put on the mixed CD with Skee Low's "I Wish I Was a Little Bit Taller".
If you don't want to pay $5 go down the street and pay $15
If you're not a real martini person have the "Vanilla Sex" martini.
