Now with two locations in two amazing small towns!
HILLsborough | ESt. 2003
It all started for us way back when in historic Downtown Hillsborough, and we have a true passion for our town. Surrounded everywhere you look by real American history, natural beauty, and a vibrant arts & culture scene, our pub is here to welcome you to our amazing community whether you’re a local or simply passing through. For more than two decades we’ve been a neighborhood gathering place, hosting some of the best food, beers & colorful characters you’re likely to find!
Located at 113 North Churton Street in Hillsborough, NC
MEBANE | ESt. 2023
We weren’t going to open another Nickel in just any old place, and we found our second hometown in Downtown Mebane! We love our new digs, right smack in the center of a burgeoning downtown scene. Our neighbors are super cool too, with lots of other local small businesses offering retail, hangout spots and more. We find that the best way to experience Mebane is to wander around town a bit first, and then let our badass crew take care of ya when you’re hungry & thirsty!
Located at 109 WEST CLAY Street in MEBANE, NC
Our FARM
We’re not farmers by trade, we’re farmers by choice. Wooden Nickel Farms was born from our passion to serve y’all the tastiest burger we could, and eventually we decided the best way to do that was to start our own farm! We raise cattle, pigs, sheep & egg-laying chickens, all of which feature heavily throughout our menus. Our animals are pasture-raised on 60 acres of former tobacco land, which we’re regenerating for future generations of NC farmers as we go!
Our commitment
Little details matter to us in a big way. We take great care to source and serve the best products we can find for our food & drinks, having worked with local artisans and craftspeople since day one to build this pub from the ground up. It takes a village! From the tables you sit on to the stuff in the glasses you sip, much care goes into making your experience lasting and unique. Hospitality means everything at the Nickel, and we couldn’t be more proud to be doing what we do with the best crew in the multiverse!
“Everybody needs to believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer”
our mission
mostly remembering great stories since 2003.
wings are what we do!
There’s a whole lotta love in each and every basket of crispy, juicy goodness that leaves our kitchen. And with more than 18 years of being Hillsborough’s favorite chicken wing slingers, we can’t apologize for any wing addictions we’ve caused along the way!
