Happy Hour Roundup: Nicholas James Bistro

When you are driving down Merrick Road, it is inevitable that you will pass dozens of restaurants; some you have been to, some you have heard about and some you do not even notice.

Nicholas James Bistro should not be one of the places that you just drive by. The cuisine, ambience and great dining and drink deals are a must in the Merrick neighborhood.

Nicholas James Bistro is ideal for lunch or dinner, with daily specials offered throughout the day. Once you look around the restaurant and take a peek at the eatery’s wine list, you will see that Nicholas James Bistro specializes in pairing food and drink. The eatery has an extensive wine selection that includes extra special featured wines, ranging from $24 (Bodegas Cosme Palacio White) to $94 (Girard Artistry ) per bottle. Don’t be shy; ask your server for a wine recommendation or which goes best with your meal.

If you are not a wine drinker but enjoy a cocktail, Nicholas James Bistro also specializes in martinis. You can order one of the many types of martinis that the local spot serves any night of the week, but be sure to come by on Thursday for $5 Martini Night. (Thursday night is also lobster night at Nicholas James Bistro – an added bonus!)

A list of martinis is waiting on every table, so take a look and choose from classics like a Cosmo or a “Dirty”, or go for a seasonal selection such as Watermelon or Autumn Chill.

Nicholas James Bistro also features signature martinis. Sip on a Peach Tea Martini made with peach sweet tea voda or a Golden Pineapple Martini with homemade pineapple infused vodka.

Live entertainment is regularly featured at Nicholas James Bistro, so stop in, give a call or check out the restaurant’s Facebook page to find out who is performing in the coming weeks. Nicholas James Bistro is the perfect local spot to relax, enjoy delicious comfort food and indulge in a glass of wine or fun cocktail.
