Quaint and unique location- paired well with restaurant upstairs _ club300_ themed spots to visit are so much fun. Host was entertaining and fun - recommend sitting near bar it us very neat! Barrel chairs are well made n heavy but don’t swivel so ;) fyi set up in desired spot prior to plopping down! Drinks were okay and rather high in price - server was kind and seemed happy yet was very busy- you do wait a bit - so settle in n enjoy the surroundings while they get to you - quite the place ! Typically entrance is down a large flight of stairs. But - can be ada friendly service to ( has elevator if needed too) leads to the backroom of speakeasy! So much history here - was cool dress in themed 1920’s to fit in - not required but fun!

My husband celebrated his birthday at Nuckys. We had a private room so our friends could come and enjoy. The staff was very attentive, kind and helpful throughout the evening. We absolutely loved it and got lots of compliments on the food and drink variety and taste. A classy place to go! It has a big city feel in a small town!

The food was tasty and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and the bartenders mix some great drinks. I recommend the old fashioned flight.

Really a fun, cool place. They actually get into the whole "speakeasy" thing and make it fun. The staff is friendly and helpful. As well as the old school cocktails, they have beers and wines and mocktails. The appetizers are delicious!

Best place to host a party! Booked the boardwalk for about 30 people for my husband’s 50th. Everyone raved about the place, the food, and the service, top notch! Highly recommend.

Fabulous throwback atmosphere. The host was committed to patrons enjoyment of the place. Good drinks and food served by the kitchen at Club 300 upstairs. On this evening there was a solo entertainer, Gary LaRue who sang a wide variety of hits from the 1940s - 1970s. His vocal performance combined with his charismatic personality made for a very fun evening.
