Often when I think of where I want to go when desiring a cold beer, hot wings, and conversation with strangers, the Wooden Nickel Tavern almost immediately comes to mind.
They have some of the best wings in town, a stellar Fish Friday special, burger deals a couple of days a week, and heck, if you get cash out of the ATM to pay for your tab they’ll give you a free drink. Right on!
It’s been one of my go-to spots in recent years and it’s heartwarming to know that the establishment is celebrating its 40th anniversary on Saturday, March 9 at 1908 S. Country Club Rd.
During the 40th anniversary party, Wooden Nickel will have multiple local vendors set up on-site from noon – 5 p.m., $2.50 beer specials throughout the day (Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Light), and $0.50 wings from noon – 8 p.m.
With a spacious patio, plenty of tables and chairs, a jukebox, and pool tables, it’s a downright party on Saturday (and any other day of the week).
Every other day of the year, the Wooden Nickel has a daily Happy Hour from 3 – 6 p.m. and then a daily special, too.
One of the more popular specials is Wings Wednesday — it’s $1 a wing — and the flavors include Hot, BBQ, Garlic Parmesan, Teriyaki, Mango Habanero, Hot BBQ, Honey Mustard, and Lemon Pepper.
So, gather up your friends and head down to the Wooden Nickel on Saturday, March 9 to congratulate them on 40 years.
The Wooden Nickel Tavern is located at 1908 S. Country Club Rd. For more information, visit woodennickeltavern.com and follow Wooden Nickel on Facebook.
