Nick’s Ice House

If you are looking for a dive in a great neighborhood then this is it! Coldddddd bottled beer and live music.

If you live in the Hattiesburg/​Laurel area I HIGHLY recommend Nicks Ice House. They don’t just serve beer and you use the restroom in a sawed off keg filled with ice. They also have a moving business. Call bubba up today if you are moving. Hilarious guys moving your stuff and they do a great job.

My wife and I used them to pack up our house and load it on a rented U-​Haul. They did a great job packing, but greatly lacked professionalism. I was unable to be there so it was just my wife, and they used no discretion when speaking in front of her. When they got to the box labeled «Wedding Pictures» comments like «Might as well throw this one in the trash,» were directed towards her and so on. When you are hired help to get a job done keep the negative comments at your bar.

Truly a diamond in the rough. Ill definitely be back next time I’m in town! Exceptionally friendly people. Great prices. Felt at home immediately. Best bar ever.

Love it. Definitely good for those nights when you want to have a good time but want a low key, casual scene.

This is a fantastic dive bar in every way possible! I’ve been going to this joint for years and I actually ended up losing my virginity because of this bar. Yes I know it is shocking news that I’m no longer a virgin but I really had little choice in the matter at the time. This place is an actual working ice house that just has the bar as a side business. This place can give Snake and Jake’s a run for the title of most dive of dive bars and for bar stools you get actual toilets to sit on. They used to have kegs stacked up outside but now they have turned that area into a makeshift patio area that looks like a spot homeless people camp. They have live music sometimes and a pool table. The only downside here is their crappy beer selection as they only have Bud, Miller, and Coors products.

I’ve been to many a dive bar in this country and this one is certainly top five. I believe the bar is actually only a side business as the primary function of Nick’s is to supply surrounding restaurants with, you’re not going to believe this, ice.
This bar is no frills, but it makes up for that with character. No draught beers, only bottled beers that your father drank are served here. High Life, Coors, Bud, and the like. The price is right as most beers are $ 1.25.
I’m particularly fond of the décor. Random stuff covering the walls and several toilet seats for bar patrons to sit on in place of barstools at the bar. Leave your pretension at the door. Other things in case you’re wondering: they have a few TV’s, chips, and put on live music from time to time.

Possibly the diviest bar in the country. Gotta love a place where instead of bar stools they have toilet seats lining the bar, which is a wooden slap with warps and cracks, just like the walls and ceiling. The drink choices are meager — you get to choose from one of three mega-​brand flavors of beer — but the atmosphere and the personality more than makes up for it.
