Fridays with Xavier Entertainment at Nellie’s is a must stop! The vibes are great, the crowd is friendly and the food is on point. Make sure you put this on your list to stop by.

Its always a vibe at Nellie's. Make sure to go to the Hispanic bartender. He's usually upstairs on busy nights. His drinks are TOP TIER🔥

Slightly improved burners are needed to keep food hot. The food was cool not hot but was good.
