It is with heavy, but grateful hearts that we share the news that Nick's has officially closed. Words cannot express how proud we have been to be a part of such an incredible community. From day one, we set out to create a local, "go to" neighborhood spot where family and friends could come together to enjoy great food, refreshing cocktails and superior service in a warm and welcoming environment. We are grateful to deliver on that vision for more than seven years and to help inspire the now robust Wilmette dining scene. We are so proud of the impact we have had in our local community thanks to the most generous customers around. THANK YOU for your unwavering support, loyalty and friendship. There is no question that our team and our guests made Nick's so special! In an industry where turnover is the norm, we have been fortunate to have had the same core team for years! They are the reason Nick's has been so beloved, and words will never express how grateful we are for their dedication. While we have been approached about selling in the past, it never felt quite right. We engaged in this opportunity because of the impact of the pandemic and the uncertainty of the future. Importantly, the buyer is a local resident and we know he cares about our community and will continue the tradition of 1168 Wilmette Ave being a neighborhood joint. We will certainly miss our Nick's family and friends, but look forward to sharing a pint or two in the coming weeks around the hood! Cheers and from all of us, thank you. The Nick's Team
