There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when the workday winds down, the sun softens, & you find yourself with a cold drink in hand on a cozy patio that feels like your own private garden. That’s the experience waiting for you at Nicky’s of Beverly, & we’ve made it even more appealing with weekday Happy Hour & weekend mimosa specials.
Happy Hour Monday Through Friday
Every weekday from 4 to 7 pm, our outdoor patios are the best-kept secret on Chicago’s South Side. Stop by after work, meet friends before dinner, or just carve out an hour for yourself — either way, you’ll find discounted drinks & appetizers waiting for you.
It’s the perfect window to unwind: the workday’s behind you, the evening’s still wide open, & there’s no better spot to bridge the two than N.o.B.
First, the Food
Happy Hour isn’t just about what’s in your glass — the food deserves equal billing. From 4 to 7 pm on weekdays, take $1 off any of these best selling sides:
- Buffalo Shrimp — A half dozen jumbo fried shrimp tossed in our signature buffalo sauce, served with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Parmesan Truffle Fries — Crispy skin-on fries tossed in white truffle oil, sprinkled with Parmesan, & topped with green onion.
- Southwest Chicken Egg Rolls — Crispy fried egg rolls stuffed with chicken, corn, black beans, jalapeños, red bell pepper, & Monterey Jack cheese, served with buttermilk ranch.
- Thai Chili Brussels Sprouts — Petite Brussels sprouts fried crisp & tossed in a sweet-spicy Thai chili glaze.
- Spicy Cheese Curds — Bite-sized nuggets of molten cheese served with chipotle ranch.
These apps are perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own as a light dinner.
Savings on Sips You’ll Love
A great happy hour isn’t just about the discount — it’s about what you’re drinking, & we take that seriously at N.o.B.
Craft Beer, Rotating & Regional Our tap list is always in motion, featuring a rotating selection of craft beers with a strong Midwest focus. Many pours come from breweries across the region, & several are brewed right here in Chicago — like our good friends Horse Thief Hollow Brewing Co., a block down from us on Western Ave. In case you’re wondering: it feels really good to support local while you sip!
Sangria with Fresh Fruit For something brighter, our sangria, from Round Barn Winery in Michigan, is made with fresh fruit & built for patio weather. It’s juicy & refreshing, & dangerously easy to order a second round.
Greek Wines, By the Glass or Carafe We also pour a curated selection of Greek wines, available by the glass for a quick pour or by the carafe if you’re planning to stay a while.
Batched Craft Cocktails No waiting on a single shaken drink at a time — our batched craft cocktails are made in-house & ready to pour, so your table gets served fast without sacrificing quality. Look for rotating favorites like the Blueberry Bourbon Smash, Pineapple Rose Mimosa, & Cucumber Vodka Cooler.
The Boozy Shake from Our Milk Bar
Here’s where Nicky’s really sets itself apart: our boozy shakes, made with Zarlengo’s artisanal gelato. Rich, creamy, & spiked with a delicious cream liqueur, they’re the kind of dessert-meets-cocktail that makes for a perfect end to happy hour — or honestly, a reason to come in on its own. And if you’re avoiding dairy, we’ve got you covered with a couple of vegan gelato options that don’t skimp on flavor.
$5 Mimosas All Weekend Long
Come SaturdaySunday, we shift gears with $5 mimosas all weekend. Whether you’re easing into a lazy Saturday, celebrating brunch with friends, or just looking for a reason to linger on the patio a little longer, a $5 mimosa is about as good a reason as any.
Why the Patio?
Because Beverly deserves a patio that feels like a destination, not an afterthought. Ours is built for lingering — good drinks, good food, good company, & just enough buzz in the air to make an ordinary weekday feel like something worth showing up for.
Good Vibes, Award-Winning Design
Part of what makes Happy Hour at Nicky’s so special is the space itself. Our location’s design, built around a striking arrangement of colorful shipping containers with garage doors that open wide to blur the line between indoors & out, won an architectural award. Our outdoor spaces are just off busy Western Avenue, but privacy walls make them feel like a secluded oasis. The result: intimate patio spaces that feel like an extension of the restaurant rather than an afterthought tacked onto the side of it — the outside comes in, & the inside spills out, all in one continuous, colorful space.
It’s the kind of setting that sets the tone before your first sip even hits the table: bright, open-air, a little unexpected, & always buzzing with good energy. Add in a cold drink & a plate of Parmesan Truffle Fries, & you’ve got an evening you’ll want to play on repeat.
