There’s another New Brighton gem that people travel for miles to visit. Located just up the hill on the quirky Seabank Road, you’ll find Nickel City, Wirral’s only authentic American bistro that serves unique dishes and specials with a twist.
Headed by Cory Isham, who moved to Wirral from Buffalo, NY, after falling in love with New Brighton local Germaine, Nickel City is a true American gem. Every morning, Cory bakes fresh bread and prepares quality home-cooked food, complementing the menu with intriguing dishes throughout the day, craft beers on draft, and fine wines.
At Nickel City, you can expect fascinating dishes such as Denver Tots (oven crisped tater tots with all the trimmings) and a wide range of stacked sandwiches such as Hot Rueben, Manhattan Hideout, and Hot Bronx. Freshly baked focaccia makes Nickel City’s sandwiches so popular that they have branded them and now provide a takeout service with special offers.
The Braised steak sandwiches, such as the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, are particularly popular, using extra mature beef, while Nickel City’s Poutine has also had people travelling from far and wide, with Chicken & Bacon and Braised Steak options a big hit!
With two consecutive shortlists for Wirral Globe’s Best Pizza in Wirral, Nickel City’s sourdough pizzas have established an incredible reputation, and their small plates, such as baked Camembert, Maryland Style King Prawns, and Burrata, are simply delicious.
As if that isn’t enough variety and quality, you’ll find mouth-watering sharing boards perfect for date night and revolving specials that feature American inspired dishes with a twist. With quality beers and wines, a cool playlist and an outside terrace (not to mention super friendly service), Nickel City is open Weds-Thurs 4pm-10pm, Fri-Sat 12pm-10pm and Sun 12pm-8pm and is a must visit if you haven’t already.
Cory said:
“I met my wife-to-be Germaine in North Wales when I was at Uni there and after falling in love and getting married we lived in Buffalo for 14 years. After having kids it was decided we settle over here in the Wirral and it’s a decision I’m really glad we made as I love it here and love the people. I opened Nickel City almost two years ago, wanting to bring something different to the area, and it’s become a big hit!”
“Coming from the U.S, I’ve taken some of the things that have been a great success over the pond, put my own twist on them and created some really unique dishes on the menu. I love experimenting and creating revolving specials to mix things up. We have plans for themed nights such as tacos nights and sometimes go wild and put on free pizzas for special occasions.”
Bringing the best of the U.S to Seabank Road, New Brighton, Nickel City is an authentic American gem that’s off the beaten track yet attracts visitors from far and wide — such is its appeal. Whether it’s a stacked sandwich on the go, a daytime catch up with friends or a romantic date — Nickel City’s got you covered!
