Buddy's Place
Two Cents on Nickel City
RECEIVED Wed., April 17, 2024
Hello Austin Chroniclers,
I hope the move is going swimmingly. Your paper is truly the best, your writers and other people who help with creating the articles I read are simply unmatched.
I’m reaching out today because there is one place that y’all fall short and that is every year, during the best of awards, Nickel City is included (and wins) the dive bar category. If Austin wants to vote Nickel City as the best bar, that’s fine. But it is on y’all to put them in the right category. Nickel City used to be a dive bar. No doubt about that. But have you been in the past few years? It’s clean. It's expensive. They have COCKTAILS. The staff is nice. It is not grungy. There’s nothing divey about it anymore. Please, I beg you, do not categorize Nickel City as a dive bar this year. Their prices alone remove them from that category. There are actual dives keeping grungy cranky affordable Austin alive and Nickel City ain’t it. Put them in another category. But not dive bar. Please.
Thank you again for your arduous work and for your consideration of this extremely important matter.
