Join us for the Battle of the Cocktails: A Friendly Cocktail Showdown

Nico’s may not be a cocktail bar like our friends at Full Circle, but we love a little friendly competition—especially when good drinks are involved. Since FC opened in October 2024, we’ve watched them raise the bar, and in turn, we’ve worked to elevate our own cocktails, leaning on Tanner’s expertise to help us step up our game behind the bar.

For this competition, we wanted to highlight who we are. At Nico’s, we’re sticking to what we know—simple, nostalgic, and fun. Meanwhile, Tanner is pulling out all the stops to show you what you’re missing with his martini.

But this contest isn’t just about us—it’s about you! We want to know what kind of cocktails Manhattan locals are looking for from their favorite restaurants and bars. This is your chance to have fun, get involved, and let us know what you love.

Aggieville is more than just a college town to us—it’s home. It’s where we’ve built our businesses, formed friendships, and plan to be for years to come. This cocktail showdown is just another way to bring some excitement to the Ville, and we’re thrilled to have you be a part of it.
