The Nickel Mine is a philosophy of loving food, everything beautiful, delicious and delightful, but more importantly – a philosophy of loving people. It is the philosophy that makes all our bars and restaurants exceptional. A bar or a restaurant can be very fancy or down to earth, but the most valuable thing about it is a scent of comfort and excitement, the atmosphere inside, which is created by a mystical set of ingredients – location, concept, food, interiors, people and genuine passion for excellent service. Dim lighting, dark wood, leather sofas, and exposed brick make our relaxed and refined bar feel a world away from the big city.The Nickel Mine is the first US project of MST Hospitality Group.
