When the warm weather rolls in, there’s no better place to be in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood than outside at Nicky’s of Beverly. Our two expansive patios have become a warm-weather destination for the whole community — and once you experience them, you’ll understand why families, friend groups, and neighbors from across the South Side and southwest suburbs keep coming back all season long.
Two Patios. Endless Good Vibes.
What started as one beloved outdoor patio dining spot has grown into two expansive spaces that together offer something truly special on the South Side. Accessed through the restaurant and out through our iconic shipping containers, the Patios at Nicky’s of Beverly open up into a lush, welcoming environment that feels like a world apart from Western Avenue — even though it’s right there.
From the moment you settle in, you’ll notice the details: string lights casting a warm, golden glow as the sun goes down; fire pits crackling on cooler evenings ringed with cozy seating; fresh flowers and lush planters adding color and life throughout the space; and enough seating to accommodate the whole crew comfortably. Privacy walls give the area a tucked-away, almost tropical feel — intimate enough for a date night, but spacious enough for a birthday gathering, a family reunion, or a big table of old friends catching up over great food and drinks.
Whether you’re pulling up with the kids after a weekend game, meeting your college friends for a long-overdue hang, or just looking for a relaxed spot to unwind after work, the patios at Nicky’s of Beverly are built for exactly that kind of easy, unhurried time together. And with our location right on Western Avenue, we’re an easy and convenient trip for families and friends coming in from Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, Palos, Orland, and beyond.
The Perfect Spot for Families and Groups
We’ve thought carefully about what makes a great gathering space, and the patios at Nicky’s of Beverly reflect that. There’s seating for large groups as well as smaller clusters of tables for twos and fours, so whether your party is two or 20, there’s a comfortable spot waiting. The fire table and fire pits are a natural gathering point — especially on crisp evenings in early summer and fall when the temperature dips a little after dark. And with flowers and greenery throughout, the whole space feels warm, alive, and genuinely welcoming to guests of all ages.
Families with kids love the relaxed, open-air atmosphere at Nicky’s of Beverly, where little ones have a bit more breathing room than a traditional sit-down restaurant. For larger friend groups, there’s nothing like claiming our big communal table under the string lights with a round of craft beers and a spread of food to share. And for our neighbors coming in from Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, Palos, and the Orland area, Nicky’s of Beverly is the kind of welcoming, easygoing destination that’s well worth the short drive.
Ordering Has Never Been This Easy
Here’s the part people really love about Nicky’s of Beverly: you never have to leave your seat. Scan the QR code at your table, browse our full menu, and place your order — food and drinks are brought right out to you by our food runners. No waiting in line, no flagging anyone down, no losing your spot by the fire pit. Just sit back, relax, and let us take care of everything. It’s especially great for families — parents can get settled with the kids and order at their own pace without any of the usual restaurant hustle.
Thursday Nights Are Something Special
On Thursday evenings, weather permitting, Nicky’s of Beverly partners with a local record shop to bring something you won’t find anywhere else in the neighborhood. DJ John Dreznes — a man with a truly encyclopedic knowledge of popular music — spins vinyl on the Patio at N.o.B. and shares the stories behind the songs. It’s part concert, part music history lesson, and entirely entertaining. Whether you’re a die-hard music lover or just someone who appreciates a great vibe, Thursday nights at Nicky’s of Beverly are worth making a regular thing — and worth the drive from wherever you’re coming from.
The Food and Drinks Are the Star
Of course, all of this is made even better by what’s on the menu at Nicky’s of Beverly. We’re proud to serve an expansive selection of freshly prepared dishes made in-house — the kind of food worth lingering over. Wash it down with one of our regional craft beers on tap (we work with nearby breweries including Horse Thief Hollow and Marz), a glass of red or white wine, or one of our expertly batched cocktails or sangria. And save room for our artisanal gelato — a true standout that keeps people coming back to the patios at Nicky’s of Beverly all season long. There really is something for everyone, whether you’re feeding a table of picky eaters or a group of adventurous food lovers.
