If you ask a local in the Heritage Corridor on where to grab a great burger, they'll say Nick's Tavern before you can even finish your question. Nick’s Tavern opened in 1945 and is Lemont’s favorite gathering place for drinks, food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Nick’s Tavern features Lemont’s best burgers and drink specials. In fact, it has been voted as the Best Burger along the I&M Canal for 2 straight years now. Not much has changed since the early years, Nick’s Tavern remains to be the place for locals to catch the big game.
