What People Are Saying About Nye's Polonaise Room

In Short – Think Vegas casino circa 1978. Glittery gold-vinyl chairs grace the dark, windowless dining rooms and retro lanterns dress up the long bar. Weekend nights, all ages occupy the red seats in the piano bar, singing along with legendary entertainer Lou Snider. The hearty Polish menu is heavy on meat and potatoes, like short ribs and prime rib. For a taste of everything, there's a sampler of pierogi, cabbage, spare ribs, kielbasa and sauerkraut.

fun, fun, fun

A group of friends and I went there and had a blast! From the piano-bar karaoke to the polka band room there was always something entertaining going on. The decor is totally fun. But, the bartenders are what keep me coming back! You might pay $8.50 for a drink, but it is worth it. The drinks are strong but do not taste that way. This was a really fun place!
- Pros: Fun, great drinks
- Cons: a little pricey, but not bad

Be sure to ask for Phil when you order a martini, he will create something memorable! He is also very entertaining. We love the people there, both customers and staff and the food is consistently wonderful. A unique place that can't be replicated or replaced.

It's all it's own

Not trying to be New York. Not trying to be LA. Not even trying to be retro. Just being real. Whether you love live polka, love to sing with Lou live on piano, or just love to be in a different scene.... Nye's is the place! When friends visit, that's where i take them. From age 20 to 80, folks are enjoying being together and are having a good time.
Watch out though, "the stiffs are drink," if ou know what i mean... especially the jumbos.
- Pros: live karaoke, polka dancing, people being real
- Cons: , smoky
