For those of us in the Providence area, Nikki's has finally relocated. The new location is right off Rt. 95 at 32 Branch Avenue off exit 24. The picture looks great - 5,000 sq ft digs with ample parking!
Hah - should have figured @Providence would post this. I just got Nikki's the e-mail newsletter yesterday, thought I had me a scoop!
It's worth checking out next time you're passing through. Light years better than their old joint as far as set up and atmosphere.
2.9 miles of back roads. For most people, this will save 8 to 10 minutes each way. When selecting a liquor store, location is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, factor. I'm 10x more likely to go to Nikki's now than before, and I am sure I'm not the only one.
It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out between Nikki's and High Spirits, since they are so close now. High Spirits has been my go to spot for a while now, as it is convenient to hit if I am buying grub at the Whole Foods that is there.
I stopped by both Nikki's and High Sprits. Overall, the selections were comparable, but I find the owners of Nikki's to be incredibly pleasant and helpful, so it'll remain my go to spot. The new location is also incredibly nice, which is another plus. High Spirits did have Jester King Mad Meg, which was surprising as I didn't realize Jester King ever sent anything up here
