Nickeldime

Nickeldime has opened in River Valley and is the place to run to when the craving calls for craft beers and pub fare like Ale Fish and Chips. Set in a shophouse, the hangout oozes grungy vibes with edgy graffiti brick walls and a casual atmosphere. Expect 16  international craft beers on tap, from Stone & Wood Green Coast Lager and Lervig Orange Velvet, to more complex brews – including Pirate Life Mosaic IPA and Black Butte Porter. Nickeldime’s bar food menu features Duck Waffles of crispy cheddar and thyme waffle with confit duck; and a modern version of Croque Madame, prepared with house-made brioche, ham, spiced béchamel and a fried egg – the Chef’s personal favourite inspired by his time in France. Plus there’s comfort food like Mac & Cheese and beer snacks like Scotch Eggs to soak up the alcohol, too.

Bonus points for the relaxed weekend brunch, with offers a dog-friendly covered al fresco area, yummy sweet dishes like Spiked Orange French Toast with homemade brioche and chocolate ganache, and a variety of egg dishes alongside sandwiches and breads that are made in-house daily.
