Frank and Nic’s West End Grille–A Step Above the Tailgate Party

Frank and Nic’s West End Grille–A Step Above the Tailgate Party

By Jackie Cular

After a Ravens or Orioles game, most people take the party to the parking lots, but if fans want to head indoors, they go to Frank and Nic’s for an upper-class time at blue collar prices. This newly opened bar and restaurant’s atmosphere is contemporary and unique—you will not see beer advertisements, but art on the walls. When Pickles is packed, or the crowd is too boisterous, folks should head to this establishment, where they can celebrate their team’s victory with style.

There are several specials and events occurring almost nightly at Frank and Nic’s.

Monday through Friday features a packed happy hour from 3 to 8PM. Specials, which are the same before games, flaunts a $5 food menu, $2.50 Miller Lite drafts and Coors Lite bottles, $7 specialty cocktails, and $4 mixed drinks and house wine. Monday is also Service Industry night from 8PM to 2AM with all beers for $2, $3 you call its, $4 shots of GM and bombs, and a $5 food menu—it’s a great way to take the edge off of waiting tables! Tuesday night is Trivia Night, featuring trivia in the private dining room, as well as a happy hour menu during the game. Thursdays they offer half-priced win from 4 to 11PM, and all bottles of wine are half price.

The weekend is full of activity at Frank and Nic’s—a summer in Baltimore is not complete without relaxing outside and listening to local bands. Guests can enjoy live bands on their deck, which overlooks Camden Yards at 5:30 on Fridays. On Saturdays and Sundays from 11 to 3 they host a scrumptious brunch. They also offer free UFC and boxing matches to all guests on their sixteen plasma TVs.

Beyond the hardwood and sleek designing, Frank and Nic’s West End Grille is the perfect escape from the rowdy ballpark fans.
